 Magellan Crossover - April 9, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
Pros - Great Battery life, very intuitive to use, quite fast in tracking location, good street by street voice directions, ability to turn off touch screen is great (saves battery & means can leave in pocket etc without accidentally touching screen.
Cons - No ability to save tracks, offload tracks (to Computer/mapping program), no ability to pre plan an exact route (on computer or mapping program) and upload to unit
Summary - I am using the unit on a motocycle, in my pocket, using the voice directions via headphones. I wish I had known this infomration before purchase. Maybe I would have chosen the Garmin? This lack of feature means really difficult to pre route a specific trip, with every turn pre planned.
However, this unit is great if using in a car to find out WHERE AM I? and HOW DO I GET TO FROM HERE. POIs are very good. From a strange place, I could easily find the nearest Chevron, Super 8 Motel, Chinese restaruant etc.
If I could upload a pre planned route, and save & offload tracks, this would be the perfect GPS

Product performed well... if you have fat fingers you may have some difficulty with access to virtual buttons close to the edge of the screen.
Screen was easy to see even in bright daylight. Audible directions were clear and concise. Some remaining issues with the use pc downloads and utilities but I havn't spent much time there.

A friend of mine has had the crossover for a couple of years now and final picked one up.
It's a wonderful product, picks up signials with ease, varrious applications are proving to be reliable. Within the past few weeks I used it in LA, NY, TX, NC hiking, boating, and driving vehicles.
If your thinking of getting one, go for it.
Best,

 VERY OUTDATED MAPS OF THE UNITED STATES April 2, 2008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3.5-Inch Portable GPS Road and Trail Navigator THIS MAGELLAN CROSSOVER GPS WORKS FAIRLY WELL BUT HAS EXTREMELY OUTDATED UNITED STATES MAPS.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 MAGELLAN CUSTOMER SERVICE IS AWARE THAT THEIR MAPS ARE OUTDATED AND, IN ESSENCE, INDICATE THAT'S IT'S JUST YOUR TOUGH LUCK.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 :-(
