Title: Better Options Available
Product review: I owned one of these and it failed after < 1 year off of extremely light use. The buttons would no longer respond unless you used a pencil to depress. As with any product there will be lemons. I only mention should this be a trend with this product. My real issue with the product is the 'awful' software. Making it work with Vista was maddening. My second complaint has to do with the menus / OS of the GPS. The interface is not intuitive and makes you not want to use. I am no GPS expert but I can say my Delorme Pn-20 is 10X the GPS of the Magellan and it includes complete topo and street maps with the cost of the device. Additionally, the pn-20 is very intuitive (basically you don't need the manual). The explorist is an older generation GPS. Pass on this device.
