 VERY OUTDATED MAPS OF THE UNITED STATES April 2, 2008
5 out of 6 found this review helpful
Magellan Crossover 3.5-Inch Portable GPS Road and Trail Navigator THIS MAGELLAN CROSSOVER GPS WORKS FAIRLY WELL BUT HAS EXTREMELY OUTDATED UNITED STATES MAPS. THEY ADVERTISE THAT THE UNITS COME WITH UP-TO-DATE MAPS OF THE UNITED STATES BUT THAT'S SIMPLY NOT TRUE. I JUST RECEIVED A NEW UNIT ABOUT TWO WEEKS AGO (MARCH 14, 2008) AND FOUND LITERALLY HUNDREDS OF STREETS AND HIGHWAYS THAT THE UNIT DOESN'T EVEN KNOW EXIST. AND YET THOSE SAME STREETS AND HIGHWAYS HAVE BEEN ON THEIR MAP SUPPLIER'S WEBSITE (NAVTECH) FOR SEVERAL YEARS. MAGELLAN CUSTOMER SERVICE IS AWARE THAT THEIR MAPS ARE OUTDATED AND, IN ESSENCE, INDICATE THAT'S IT'S JUST YOUR TOUGH LUCK. BOTH TOM/TOM AND GARMIN GPS UNITS HAVE FAR MORE UP-TO-DATE MAPS THAN MAGELLAN. IF I HAD IT TO DO OVER AGAIN I WOULD BUY EITHER TOM/TOM OR GARMIN AND WOULD RECOMMEND YOU DO THE SAME.
 Wow, this GPS has been great, it's almost the ideal GPS!! March 31, 2008

I went out looking for a single GPS unit that would do it all, and I found it. The Magellan Crossover. I was extremely pleased with this unit. The touch screen navigation was simple and easy to understand. The topography maps that are included are great and the basemap is huge, stuffed with information. I would recommend this GPS unit to any explorer that is looking for a good, reliable unit that does it all. ... OK.. now for the one flaw that makes this unit not the Perfect GPS. The basemap can't be updated, at least that I could find, and trust me I searched. I work as a consultant in Bend, OR. A growing city with lots of new roads, that my GPS has no clue about :-(
 Doesn't really 'crossover' March 27, 2008

The Magellan Crossover does not perform well in 'off-road' applications. E.g. I can not download my tracks and waypoints into my PC like I could with my old Garmin III+ and Mapsource maps.
Also the songs and pictures I uploaded to memory (purchased separately) were lost. I do not know if the problem was the memory or the GPS.
It is a good on-road GPS for the automobile. But there are several GPSs dedicated to on-road use that are just as good and less expensive.
 Fantastic Crossover March 27, 2008

From the minute we opened our new Crossover we were pleased. It is exactly as described. Very vibrant colors, and crisp and clear directions. In our first two trips it worked flawlesly, and on the third trip it only lost it's satalite signal once. I would recomend this to everyone who enjoys going on the back roads.
Disappointing at best March 24, 2008

I was given the Crossover by my wife for Xmas 2007, she bought it here. It locks up frequently during use, requiring a hard reset and resulting in the loss of all data. In the Ventura County area of California the directions it gives will evenutally get you where your going, but the routing is poor, often routing you several miles out of the way and onto the most congested roads. At one point it had me drive right past a freeway onramp and down the frontage road to the next onramp where it finally directed me onto the freeway!! The map data is OK, but I noticed it labels several local driveways as streets and is missing some streets altogether (these are not new streets either, one has been there since I was a child). For use in Geocaching it is almost worthless, when you get within 50 feet of the waypoint the screen announces "you are near your destination" and it stops giving you directions. You then have to go to compass mode and wander around until the correct lat. and long. show on the compass readout. And you better hope it doesn't lock up during that time (which it has about 50% of the time for me.) A major disappointment, not worth the money at all. Magellan's customer service is poor, they recently offered a $80.00 "map and firmware upgrade" but can't tell me if it fixes any of these problems.
