"I love this thing, but I have to share that Magellan's software is not very well developed. It mostly refuses to open on my pc and it's not easy to use at all (when it rarely does open). The maps aren't accurate for roads. I have the topo software and can only hope that their accuracy is better than their highway maps."

"Good value for the money and fun to play with. Base map is useless in Canada and contains serious errors. Some highways are numbered incorrectly. Would like to see a unit with a large screen and a preloaded 1Gig SD card full of maps for an all inclusive price."

"WOW! I have been looking for a YEAR for a GPS receiver to replace my stolen Magellan Sport Track Pro. Finally, they came out with the Exporist series. However, I didn't like the limited features and memory of the low end models, and the high end models had a lot of stupid shit that I didn't feel like paying 300-400 dollars for."
