endezeichen's Full Review: Magellan GPS 310 Handheld GPS Receiver
I bought the GPS310 for hiking, and I'm not pleased with it's performance. It usually locks onto about 8 sattelites, and holds them quite well, but never gives me an accurate direction. It'll say I'm going north and then change to South. So that makes the compass useless. It does however work well in a car. I think it's because you have to be going 3 mph to get accurate readings. That means if you want a GPS for hiking or hunting I wouldn't suggest it unless your planning on speed walking the whole way.
I could tell you some of the good things about the unit, but they have nothing to do with performance. I wouldn't want to tell you anything that might make you think "maybe this product isn't so bad afterall" because it is. I set my house as one of the waypoints, walked down the block a little and was pointed the opposite direction. Very Very big waste of money.
