Run from Magellan Products

Date of Review:  Apr 28, 2008
Review: I have owned 4 different GPS units in my life and this is the Gold metal winner for the Piece of Crap award. Don't waste your money, look to Garmin or another brand. Not only is the unit of poor quality and even worse performance, the technical...

Magellan 500 GPS Missing the Trajectory

Date of Review:  Mar 9, 2008
The Bottom Line: Don't bother with Magellan, stick with Garmin and spend the extra $$. The Triton is not worth the headache.
Review: First I bought the 300 model but had so many problems linking it to my XP desktop, that I upgraded to the 500. The interface is great but the unit itself is a waste. When I fire up the system, it shows me that I'm in San Dimas, CA. Well, I live in...

Do not waste your time with the Magellan 500 GPS

Date of Review:  Aug 8, 2008
Review: This is my 2nd handheld GPS and I am wondering why I didn't check the reviews first. My last GPS was a Garmin eTrex that I purchased 8 years ago. The Garmin held up well but was limited on features. The Magellan 500 cost twice as much as the Garmin...

Don't ever rely on it

Date of Review:  Sep 22, 2008
Review: Triton 500 value pack didn't work out of the box, Fatal Application Errors. Been back to distributor and "fixed". Do not believe anyone if they tell you a software revision will resolve the issues. I am appalled by the fragile nature of the...

Review: Got this as a present for the wife. Followed all the instructions out of the box but it crashed while attached to my computer. Now won't function at all. Will be exchanging it tomorrow for a Garmin.
