 Traffic Kit Doesn't Work January 19, 2008
I don't have any major complaints with the GPS unit - but I just wanted to warn prospective buyers that the traffic kit that's advertised as a possible add on to this unit doen't work for me in Baltimore/DC or several of the other cities that are listed in the coverage map. Go to the traffic kit and read the reviews there for more info.
 Poor Choice January 18, 2008

If you're thinking of getting one of these to use on the trail, forget it. The topo maps that come with it are so poor in detail as to be useless unless you just want a walk in a city. No rivers, lakes or major topo features. A check with Magellan's update calendar indicates nothing scheduled for the Crossover in the near future (not needed because it's new). Email requests for info on ANY compatible maps go unanswered. I sent mine back and will go with a Garmin.
 Missing Parts Poor Magellan Service January 9, 2008

Well after having a hard time findging this item, it finally arrived at my house last week. The first thing the instructions say to do is to charge the unit in your house. Well, my wall adapter came with no US (or Europe for that matter) regional attachement. So why bother sending a wall charger. No problem though, I just charged it in the car. Then I went to mount the unit in the car, and the cradle I got was completely the wrong size for the unit. So now I cannot mount it in the car. I called Magellan several times, and no one could understand my English. I was first told that I would have buy those accecories myself. The second call I was told to return it to the store (online purchase) and exchange for a new one (even though the box says not to) because the correct parts would take 3-5 weeks to get to me from Magellan. I explained I would have to mail it back, and have a new mailed to me, so it would take 3+ weeks anyway. Another call to Magellan and they told me they could send me the parts, but their system was down, so I would have to call back when the system was back up and running. Well guess what...the item is going back for good. Sorry Magellan, but you lost a customer.
As far as the product itself, I was looking to upgrade from my Explorist in which I had both fishing lake maps and the turn by turn software. From my brief usage of the Crossover, the navigation seems pretty good, but I could not zoom over to my lake map to see how that might look on the larger screen. It looked like I was going to have to wait until I got to the lake. The built in topo map does seem all too detailed, but is pretty cool to have it built in. And the fact that the screen is large than the Explorist is a plus. It is bulky to carry in a pocket, but I would just be moving it from car to boat.
Bottom line is, I will be looking at the new Garmin series which is similar. The main problem is that I will have to buy new lake maps, but I had to that when I went from the Meridian to the Explorist. You would think with all of the horrible customer service problem with Magellan, they would get it right, but alas they have not.
WARNING TO ALL! January 8, 2008

I received this product as a gift. It malfunctioned after a few days and magellan authorized a return repair stating it would be returned within "10 to 12 Days". In the meantime, they advertise a fishing marine map which can be downloaded. I purchased the chart for $99 but the download link was never provided. Many, many calls to technical support have provided no solution. They state that the download server is not functioning but refuse to stop selling the "downloads" to unsuspecting customers. In the meantime, after over a month, they "lost" my original Crossover GPS. They have said repeatedly that they would send me a new one "within 4 or 5 days", but never have, and will not provide any additional information. STAY AWAY FROM THIS CRIMINAL ORGANIZATION!!!

Very easy to use and it made rapid route calculations when we decided to change course. I didn't think it would work as well as it does, and I'm very pleased. Points of interest like food and gas come in handy.
