Pros
- has 3 GPS maps; car, hiking, and marine.
- has audible directions so you don't have to look at map in busy traffic
- I have used this in 120 degree heat and -40 degree cold. It hasn't always worked, but most of the time it does.
Cons
- Locks up fairly often, seems to do it in hiking mode a lot.
- Magellan has terrible map updating
- Not compatible with Apple computers
- Accessories are ridiculously expensive, like a new windshield suction cup.
- poor battery life
