eXplorist 500Strengths: Display, ease of use, size, ability to pick up satelites even indoors or in a car Weakness: Mapsend software was difficult to install on the GPS. Overall, this is an excellent GPS. A friend of mine has a Garmin Etrex Legend and the Magellan is much easier to use. Also, the display on the Magellan is very clear, even in bright light. I am new to using a GPS so I've had to play with this a lot to figure it out, but I found it much easier to learn than my friend's Etrex Legend.

Functional GPS unit
Strengths: Easy to use, color screen, very accurate.
Weakness: Not functional as purchased unless you just care about your latitude & longitude.
**UPDATED MARCH 13, 2007** When I first purchased this GPS unit, it evidently had a detailed map already installed. The unit worked well and showed every street in my town. However, when I connected the unit to the computer to use the included software, it required a software upgrade, which promptly deleted the detailed map on the unit. Now, all the unit shows me is the name of my town, and two...
