Finding My Place in the World

by wvoz1970 , Jan 11, 2006
Pros: Size, value-for-dollar, PC connectivity, nice display
Cons: Acquisition time, need for additional software
The Bottom Line: If you're new to the world of GPS, this is a great unit to start with.
This reviewer recommends this product.
Review: I've now officially entered the world of GPS with the purchase of Magellan's eXplorist 210. And now I know just where I am in the world...

Don't Let the Small Size Fool You!

by cpurick , Apr 25, 2005
Pros: "Via points", highly customizable, easy-to-use, excellent maps, sturdy mount, portable, amazing little display.
Cons: Memory not expandable; battery cannot be replaced. No 3-D view, no touchscreen.
The Bottom Line: Buy this if you want a cheaper or more portable alternative to the StreetPilot 2610, unless you really need more than 128MB. Easily beats c330 or Roadmate 300.

I've used many, this is the best!!

by peterchenoweth , Jun 9, 2005

Cons: No carrying case included, more user memory is always helpful.
The Bottom Line: Perhaps the very best value in GPS's you can buy. Excellent routing and versatility.
This reviewer recommends this product.
Review: Wow. That's all I can say. I've been a GPS fan for almost 5 years now. I've owned a Garmin eMap, Garmin eTrex Vista, a Socket Bluetooth GPS that I used with my old PocketPC & laptop, and an iTrek Mouse GPS for use with my Treo 600 and laptop. I've...
