Anyone can help? I would like to get it fixed, I called Thanes but to no resolution. So my question is, who can fix my Magellan 360? Thank you! Elena

I am considering the Magellan Explorist XL vs the Garmin60CX . I am new to this product. I intend to use this for Geocaching and driving directions. I like the large screen on the Magellan, but I am not sure what extras I would need for the above listed use. Thanks for any thoughts. Tom Smart

i still have not decided which gps unit to purchase, but your replies will help my decision....

a friend has an explorist 500 and i was able to see the .upt file that stores all points. i was wondering what some of the things in it meant. i'm thinking if i could edit the file and place all info i need in there, then i would have all regular points of interest already loaded right ...

I got my 60CSx and just learning to use it really. I have dowloaded v2.71 and everything appears to be working. On my balcony, I am getting strong signals from 7 or 8 satellites. I have WAAS enabled but none of the signals are showing a D and my accuracy is only about +/- 20 feet. Does this sound right? Thanks!

New unit and the 64 mb card is too small to store maps for an approaching trip. Topo data appeared as expected from MapSource Topo on the 64mb card. I guess I got greedy and purchased a 1 GB SanDisk card. I probably only used about a third of the card's memory. Topo data is no longer visible, even after downloading the map sets twice.

Is 1 GB too large? How large of a memory ...

I have had two iWay500 units in the past year. Each time, when I have maxed out my MP3 file space, I am no longer able to boot. I am about to return my second unit for replacement. After talking to the folks at Lowrance, they claim they never have has this problem before. The unit would not even perform a hard reset.

I like the 910 as it has the wider screen.

Does any one have this unit? What are your thoughts.

Hi all I just bought a explorist 600. I'm new to gps and I wanted something for geocaching. My question is,when I try to use the usb file transfer my computer doesn't seem to recognise the unit. When you first plug in the usb cable it shows a new device and that it is working properly but the 600 doesn't see the computer and when I go to device manager the only entry is under ...

I just purchased the Garmin 360 the other day. Honestly I was a bit disappointed because I had the Mio 310x and it has some neat features. You can customize the map features a lot more than you can the 360. I like how it shows multiple street names while I'm driving and also displays the actual name and not CR-11. Anyway, the nuvi is pretty cool. It's accurate, has a lot of features, and ...

I recently bought a Garmin Edge 205. After my first ride, I downloaded the info from the Edge to my Training Center program. It showed my track, but no street references. The Help page said something about unlocking MapSource. I called Garmin to find out how to do this, I was informed that I would have to buy the MapSource for about $130. I called back to find out if Traing Center is compatible with ...
