Finding My Place in the World

Date of Review:  Jan 11, 2006
The Bottom Line: If you're new to the world of GPS, this is a great unit to start with.

I received a few gift certificates for Christmas this year and decided to spend them on a new toy...

eXplore a better world with the eXplorist 210!

Date of Review:  Jun 12, 2007
The Bottom Line: excellent , no the best starter GPS, the best for the buck, and alot of features and comes in handy!
Review: First off I will tell you this unit is for more advanced GPS users. The Magellan GPS world centers around Mapsend software, Topo3D for topography maps, and DirectRoute for streets. You need this software to take advantage and use the eXplorist to it...

Piece of junk

Date of Review:  Mar 16, 2008
The Bottom Line: I would stay away from it. Do not consider it waterproof no matter what the hype says - stay away from water with it.
Review: Mine lasted for one set of batteries - by the time the battery died so did the GPS. The things are supposed to be "waterproof" but are unable to take salt spray on a kayak.

After going back and forth with their on-line support department...

Great For Novice..

Date of Review:  Mar 18, 2007
Review: This unit is great for me as I have no GPS experience. I have a feeling though that even if you do have GPS experience it will be great for you too.
As with anything, it helps to read the booklet before you use it to get familiar with the terms...

Great monochrome GPS receiver

Date of Review:  Jan 7, 2008
The Bottom Line: Very good handheld GPS receiver
Review: The eXplorist 210 is a sensitive and compact handheld GPS receiver. The layout of the controls allow right- or left-hand operation. When turning the unit on under open sky, it finds enough satellites (12 is not unusual) for accurate 3D positioning...

Fantastic first time GPS

Date of Review:  Oct 17, 2006
Review: I purchased an Explorist 210 as my first GPS, and it has continued to amaze me. I purchased the combo pack with the map disks (which I highly recommend). The detail and accuracy of the maps, along with the dependability and ease of use make this...
