 Explorist 200 has no PC interface April 7, 2006

Why does this handheld need 16 mb of memory when the unit only comes with 10 mb of maps loaded and no PC interface. The specs are misleading and I feel stupid having not done more research before purchasing this unit. The Explorist 210 has a PC interface and 22 mb of space to load more maps if needed. My main gripe is that I work with GIS and I wanted to be able to grab my waypoints off the unit via a usb, but now I have to enter them manually. Normally this wouldn't be a huge deal, but I may have hundreds by the time I'm done. I recommend this unit if you want a nice, light, good display, and feature for the money, but if your looking for PC interconnectivity, then buy the Explorist 210 or 400. The Explorist 100/200/and 300 don't have this feature. Also don't buy the PC cable at the bottom of the page that Amazon recommends because it fits a different Magellan series all together.

You will not find a better built and performing entry level Gps for the money. I have always been pleased with the 200 and found that while geocaching it's simple to operate and easy to carry around. Small things like being able to float and the rubber armor are nice. The only two things that come to mind I wish the 200 had, is a dc power connection and more detailed maps (why I gave it a 4). Other than that, can't beat it. If you find yourself needing better maps and dc power you will have to upgrade to another level of Gps such as the Explorist 210,400 and above.

Very user friendly. Great reception. Rugged disign. Im a tech. for Verizon Wireless and im use to see phones come across my counter beat up, scratched up, and just down right abused. This GPS is one tough little monkey. I use it mainly for geocaching and while in the woods or on a trial, I've slide down a couple hills in the mud or snow. Usually the first think I think is ouch, but the second thing I think is that I may just have wrecked my Gps. Not yet. As I said this guy is tough. I highly recomend the explorist 200. With the preloaded road maps its gives me a good guest as to where I am when I start to lose my direction on the road or in the woods.

Every time I power it on, it has to search for satelites and takes a lot of time to get its bearing. Not too amazed by this product.
