Customer Reviews

Excellent buy!

I bought this unit after much research. And I am glad I made this decision.

The size, both unit and the screen is perfect. I compared with Garmin's I3 and 2610. Unit handling is good and not bulky like the 2610. The screen size of this unit is ideal, with all the info that needs to be accomodated on the screen.

I found my unit quite responsive and had good satellite reception (even when I placed it in my cup holder!). Color coding of signal strength is a great plus. Unit has a ton of options on locating points of interests. I also checked the speedometer in the unit and it was accurate down to the last mile. I was really impressed.

The only thing I found unacceptable was the long upload time for the maps into the unit. But I have heard units from other manufacturers too have the same issue. But on the road performance is fantastic for the price that I paid at Sears.


Full disclosure

The device is great. Advertising does not make clear, tho, that the maps themselves are not in the device, and a memory card has to be separately purchased to load maps. Would have liked to know this up front so device could have been operational much faster (would have bought the memory card at the time of initial purchase of the device). The advertising makes it sound like you can just turn on the GPS and go, and you can't!


GPS 300 - GOOD VALUE

It took me 4 phone calls and 3.5 week waiting time until Magellan finally sent me a window mount that was compatible to the backplate of my GPS system. However, after this initial glitch, I made positive experiences with the GPS 300. It takes only about a minute until the GPS 300 finds my locations. Graphical and voice instructions are clear and easy to follow. Maps are not very accurate, sometimes misleading. Also destinations are not always chosen through the most direct routes.

Suggestions for further improvements: allow download of maps for Europe and add a rechargable battery - wouldn't take much!
