Note: Before purchasing a GPS receiver, you must first determine what you will be primarily using it for: either on-road or off-road navigation. If your answer is on-road navigation, this is not the GPS for you. Why? There are several ...

Pros: Price - 6MB uploadable memory - Attractive case
Cons: Weak satellite reception - Too many buttons

One of the cheapest GPS receivers with a basemap currently on the market. I paid $149 at SportMart (after a 25% coupon) and there's also a $30 manufacturer rebate, which expires today, 6/30/04 (extended). This means final price will be $119! Magellan ...

Cons: Flimsy Battery Holster, Awkward Data Cable Connection, smaller non-upgradable memory (6mb)

After having used an older Garmin eTrex Venture for over a year, I began to realize that it was not living up to my desire to have mapping and compass capabilities. I use the GPS for both Geocaching, and for navigating, and the more I did both, the more ...

Pros: All screens fully customizable. Easy to use, easy to read.
Cons: Awkward cable attachment and battery compartment access. ETA function too sensitive. Mapsend products inaccurate.

The one other review on this unit, by Djsepinions, is right on (3) points: (A) It takes time for this unit to get a position fix, but once fixed, it holds it; (B) The Mapsend database that can be uploaded leaves something to be desired. I've seen errors ...

Pros: Accurate, lightweight, battery life, interface and maps.
Cons: Have to buy expensive software for more maps.

I have no regrets over buying this wonderful handheld GPS unit. The unit is well designed, with a durable exterior that is even water-resistant. The design is simple and intuitive. Personally, I love buttons on my gadgets, and I thought I would be ...

Pros: Easy to use. Exceptional price. The most accurate handheld GPS.
Cons: MapSend Streets and Destinations not the most accurate.

Just got an STP last week from Price Club. Great GPS! Great Value! I researched at Joe Mahaffey & Jack Yeazel's GPS site: http://joe.mehaffey.com/ Read between the lines; this is the most accurate handheld..they were blown away at the accuracy and...

Pros: Compact but not too small, economical, useful accessories, WAAS enabled, excellent satellite tracking.
Cons: Gold face plate, memory not expandable, details of maps go away when zoomed out.

I did a lot of research on GPS units before I decided on the Magellan SporTrak Map. I wanted to be able to download topo maps from my computer and have a screen on the GPS unit big enough to see details in the maps. I also wanted a unit that was compact, ...

Pros: Fast, accurate, and armored.
Cons: Gobbles batteries, lame map, and weak wrist strap.

I bought the Sport Trak Pro to replace an older Colortrak. I had read previous reports that it was one of the most accurate GPS units out there. I do agree that this is the most accurate GPS unit I've seen yet. It acquires and locks in signals very ...

Pros: Frighteningly accurate, ergonomical, easy to learn and use.
Cons: Battery guzzler, can't do automatic routing.

I researched handheld mapping GPS units for several weeks before settling on this unit. The choices were either this or the Garmin Etrex Vista. Most reviews of the Garmin unit seemed to indicate a severe problem with that unit receiving satellite...

Pros: Light(6oz), Map ability, WAAS, great reception.
Cons: No memory upgrade like Meridian models.

A received a Garmin GPS 12 this last Christmas as a present. I loved the unit and have used it constantly for 6 months. But I found that it was time for me to graduate to a high end model with more bells and whistles. In my quest to find a better GPS...

The Magellan SporTrak handheld GPS is an accurate, easy to use, affordable unit that is perfect for ...

Pros: Perfect size, easy to use
Cons: memory not expandable, not enough detail to the maps

I've been using this unit for a year now and overall, I'm very pleased with it. It's held up great. I've dropped it down hills and into streams and it never stopped working. There are a few minor nicks and scratches, but it's all cosmetic. This is ...

Pros: The best beginner/intermediate GPS on the market with WAAS
Cons: No external antenna available. Data software not included.

Magellan created a great GPS receiver in the 1990's called the 315. The Sportrak is the updated version of this great older GPS. The Sportrack utilizes the same "software", and basic operation as the 315, so those upgrading will find this model to be ...

Pros: Signal lock, floats, durable
Cons: Data cable attachment, map software selection, accuracy of uploadable maps.

After a canoe trip with my Brother with his GPS in hand, I decided to take the plunge. I love this unit. Once it acquires a position fix it holds the signal very well. My brother had a Garmin eTrex (base model, non-mapping) and he had to have his uni ...

Pros: Light, waterproof, fast updates, reasonable price. Very easy to use; data transfers painfree.
Cons: Gotos are not saved with power off. Must restart if power off before destination.

I am a geocacher and I have been into this hobby for some time now. A requirement of this hobby is a reliable GPS receiver. I have a previous Magellan (The 300) and I decided to upgraded it to one with more advanced features. I previously purchased a ...
