 Doesn't really 'crossover' March 27, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
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.
 Very Outdated maps March 17, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This unit does get you to your destination as long at it is on the maps that are provided. The problem is the maps are several years old and to get new maps costs a additional $75. Also the "great" TOPO system it has does not include TOPO's for the USA. They do have TOPO's for Mexico and Canada but not the USA. One other problem is when you call customer service it is in India and I for one can not understand what they are saying at all. They would not transfer me to to the USA either.
All together I don't think I would buy this product again, hopefully there will be a better crossover soon.
Excellent navigator, road, trail or sea March 11, 2008

I really love this little boxMagellan Crossover 3.5-Inch Portable GPS Road and Trail Navigator. I have been house hunting in Pinellas County Florida and it has brought me to about 30 houses without fail. In addition, this little box has maps for hiking/biking and even water travel. The marine charts are a separate download and I have not used them yet. In fact, the trail function also has more detailed maps for download, but it comes with basic maps for the lower 48 states, Alaska, Hawaii and Puerto Rico.
It takes a bit of time to get used to using this little box for your navigator, but it is well worth it. Once you get it figured out, you'll be saving lots of time by not having to download and print maps from maps.google.com.
