 DO NOT BUY MAGELLAN PRODUCTS November 16, 2007

Before you make your purchase, pick up the phone and call customer support. You will find it is in India and it is worthless. They will lie to you about shipments you have been promised, know nothing of the products and are completely useless. To test this report, I challenge you to try to find anyone in the USA to speak to. Every phone number is routed to India as if there is no US presence at all. DO NOT waste your money. Buy anything but a Magellan. Call (909)394-500 to verify that what I am telling you is true.
 Great product, horrible customer service from Magellan! November 13, 2007

I just purchased the Crossover GPS for my husband. He loves it. The big screen and ease of use is wonderful. My complaint is with Magellan's customer service and tech support. Due to their web issues, I was unable to download MapSend Lakes West, and ended up spending a total of more than five hours on the phone over four days before I found someone that would help me. Their reps would say "Let me pull up the file, hold on one moment," then I would get stuck back on hold for 10-15 more minutes, then a new person would come on the line. Whenever I asked for a supervisor, they told me there were no supervisors available. I was repeatedly transferred back and forth between tech support and customer service. They did not help me until I told them I was going to dispute the charge with my credit card company. I would much prefer to own a product from a company that takes care of customers the first time!!

I purchased the GPS a few days before our annual trek from Illinois to Florida. It was very useful on each leg of the trip. Easy to program for each day's segment, there were warning bells before turns and audible voice signals before exits and entrances. I am very happy with the product. Also, it can be removed and used in more than one car or used for hiking.

 Magellan Crossover Vehicle GPS with Topographic Maps (Green) October 24, 2007

Reliable generally works as advertised.
The expansion slot on my unit will not read my memory card.I don't have to use the memory slot since I did not purchase for that purpose but instead for its GPS properties.
Promised expansion maps with higher resolution (extra cost accessory item to be used for walk about)have never been made available. These are NOT needed for travel by auto.
The Hertz Car Never Lost unit worked well for me in rental cars and since it was made by Magellan I picked their device.
I also wanted to use in the "walk about" mode as well as for travel in my auto so the Crossover variety seemed to fit that need.
The unit has never shut down on me as others have reported. When signal is obscured it remembers last data for a time and reacquires its signal quickly. The POI's are okay but limited.
I moved to a new city and the unit has saved me many times from being lost or has provided me with new ways to get from point A to B. This is what I bought the unit for and it has worked well for this purpose.
Overall I am pleased with the unit.
Great little GPS October 24, 2007

Just got this unit a couple of weeks ago and overall I love it.
The street nav mode is excellent. I don't really have any complaints on it. Of course it's not 100% perfect, but I realize map data is always a year or two behind.
Haven't used the marine mode.
Hiking mode is great with one exception. The unit likes to lock up once in awhile. While geocaching, I'll realize the screen isn't updating and I have to reset it and then find that I've gone right by the cache. Other than this annoying flaw I love it.
One other really minor complaint when using for geocaching, is that once you get close to your waypoint, the information telling you how far you are goes away, so if you start to wander too far you don't realize it and have to retell it which waypoint you want headings to. The arrow pointer is also kind of big and covers up the x of the waypoint when you get close.
I have figured out a fairly easy way to load waypoints into the hiking mode. Convert your data into a .upt file and put it on an SD card. You can then load them into the unit. Does have a memory limit of 250 waypoints, but I just create different files for different areas when geocaching and load the one I need. I also load my data into the supplied POI PC application which will convert them to .mgln files and let you load them into the unit so I get the same waypoints as POI points in the street nav side.
Haven't really used the tracks feature, but it allows you to track where you have been and backtrack if you need to.
