One of them died and its a paper holderDate: 2008-08-15 Rating: 4 out of 10Less than a year ago I bought 8 units for public programing and teach people how to use a GPS.
I have used them twice and on the second program one of them froze while walking on the park. I tried to turn it off but nothing happened. I removed the battery, turn in back on... nothing.
I tried with brand new batteries, the same result. The GPS unit seem to be dead.
I tried to contact Magellan 3 times through their webiste and all the messages bonce back saying that there is a delivery problem with their email.
After 45 minutes waiting on the phone through costumer service they told me that I had to send it back and they will replace it. It is going to be hard to teach people how to use GPS with different units. I was told that they would replace the unit for free. Now I will have missmatching units and afraid that the other 7 will freeze at some point when they are needed for a public program.
This units seem to be ok but the quality is really poor so I would buy something more reliable that the explorist GPS.

BewertungenLimited useDatum 2008-05-18 Rang: 4 von 10I got this last summer to do hunting in the national forest
(texas) and it really is nothing more than a fancy electronic
compass. The trackings and routes are nice, and it has evaluation.
Eats battery like a starved dog.
This was my first GPS .. and it died after light use .. 8 months.
Maybe a dozen weekends. The keyboard buttons barely respond anymore.
It has no abilities to connect to a computer and up/download
map savings either ... The more you use your GPS unit, you will
likely expect that functionality.
Or maybe not !
Great for startersDatum 2008-05-04 Rang: 10 von 10 My wife bought thhis model for me on Valentines Day in 2007. What a great gadget! I am a newbie at Geocaching and after a few outings with this GPSR I have become an amateur geocacher. It is easy to use and great for learning the basics of GPS Navigation. It is a wonderful student model, and though it doesn't have fully featured maps, it gives explorers a handy way to mark surroundings, waypoints and paths. The Go To feature is the best for finding caches and it stores planty of waypoints. Great tool! 100 No longer supported by MagellanDatum 2008-01-24 Rang: 4 von 10My eXplorist 100 is only 4 months old and is defective. It's been treated very carefully but it will randomly clear the screen, lose the satellites and now is clearing all data... very frustrating.
When I contacted the company, they say it's no longer supported and they won't repair it or honor the warranty (they are offering some sort of trade up, but I can't find out what the offer is yet as they say the phone system is having 'technical difficulties').
So I loved the 100's price and features, but if you buy it, realize that if there is any issue, you are on your own.Does the jobDatum 2007-11-10 Rang: 10 von 10I purchased this unit for a hunting trip to northern Wisconsin. It did the job I needed. It quickly and accurately fixed my position and lead me to and from tree stands in the deep woods. I have used it here in Alaska too, and it works just as well here.
