Title: Plagued with problems
Product review: I bought this unit maybe a year and half ago, and since then it had numerous problems. The worst is "freeze" state which would happen if device is outside of the map coverage area ( in one particular case I was about 1 mile off the Atlantic shore) or during map redrawing. After entering frozen state, unit would be unresponsive, no buttons worked. From time to time it would go into "debug mode" for no apparent reason. Each time I had to send unit to Magellan repair center, but the problem was never fixed. The unit is not under warranty any more and is unusable (Magellan would not fix it although the problem is as old as the unit itself). Recently I purchased Garmin GPSMap 60CX and I like it much better. It can track satellites even inside a house (explorist 300 had tracking problems through light foliage).Pros: sleek design, detailed base map
