Poor Product and Terrible Support
I wish I had read the other reviews before buying this product. Indeed it does not work on my WinXP PC. The program will not even open and run. The Magellangps.com site has a downloadable patch for the product but it did not work either. What a waste of time and money. If Magellan ever answers my support requests, I hope they will send me a working copy of the program.
PRODUCT KNOWN BAD BY MANUFACTURER!!!
I purchased a copy of Magellan Worldwide Basemap. I installed it in my computer but it would not run. When this also happened to a second computer I installed it on I contacted Magellan Technical Support. After asking me about the relative positions of stickers on the back of the CD jewel case I was told I had a defective disk and was offered a replacement in 4 to 6 weeks! Since I will have returned from my trip to Europe before the replacement arrives the product is totally useless to me. Don't buy this product until they have "good" disks available. The good ones have the stickers on the back of the jewel case in an "L" configuration, on the bad disks the stickers are parallel.
Elementary at best
I currently live in Asia. I purchases my Magellan on a trip home to Chicago. Back home, the default map displays almost all mapped roads and landmarks, and even some I didn't know existed.
I purchased MapSend so I could have decent maps of the area I live and travel in.
Silly me to think that it would perform with accuracy as it did back home...
The mapsend features in Asia where I've used it (Japan, Korea, Thailand, Philippines, Bangladesh) show at most 10 percent of the roads and landmarks, and all of those are displayed in horribly inaccurate positions (as much as 3 KM in some cases).
Were talking big landmarks including things like International Airports here.
A very poor product but one star given because it's better than nothing.
