Magellan MAP 330 Handheld GPS Receiver

Pros: great little GPS receiver
Cons: lousy manual, ill-designed accessories, and abysmal software

In another lifetime, while spending a glorious summer in a remote corner of Montana, I learned how to use compass, topographic map, and my wits to pretty much idiot-proof my wilderness ramblings. And since I've spent the better part of the last...

Pros: small, durable, easy to use, accurate
Cons: Rudimentary route software (unable to manually target waypoints).

There are some very good reviews of the Map 330, so I'm not going to write a long and detailed report, I just want to add my 2c worth. I have owned a Map 330 for over two years now. Many times I have looked to purchasing a new GPS, but I simply can't ...

Pros: detailed screen, buttons well thought out, price

Cons: None

So you want a GPS. You just found all you need. The Magellan Map 330x (make sure you get the x on the end, it includes maps), is the perfect GPS. Great screen, accurate maps, great features, such as speed, compass, sunset/sunrise, hunting times, huge...

Pros: Cheap. Good accessories.
Cons: Unreliable. Small display.

Purchased brand new from Best Buy. Unit would shut down after 5 seconds when I used the backlight while plugged into the cigarette lighter.

I got this GPS receiver a month ago and loved it. you can use it with Street & trips or Delorme software and see your position moving while driving. Definitely worth the money.
