MAGELLAN EXPLORIST 110 REVIEW TEN THUMBS DOWN!!!
Just to let every one know i just bought a Magellan 110 eXplorist and im seriously NOT HAPPY WITH IT!!
AND I dont like it AT ALL!.. ITS COMPLETELY A waste of 100 bucks in my books!
I bought this small hand held GPS on sale for 100 bucks
Was thinking of using it for fishing to mark out old fishing hot spots and to mark new found hot spots ect ect
Ya right thats not happening with this model!!
I find it way to hard to use and the navagation toggle control button which is the button
used for almost all functions is near impossible to use
It IS way way to small and you end up taking so much time because you constantly
make errors when trying to name tracks and routes ect.
No i will never buy one again ,,or recommend one to any one!
Infact i will try to take it back ASAP!!!
I Will be looking at the Garmin company for my next buy and i think Garmin is a Canadian Company!
One other thing the battery life indicator bar is completely inaccurate it doesnt work at all !!
The unit will shut down saying low power yet the battery bar say 100% full on the screen???
Now That would be really nice to happen to someone way out in the sticks...
Could be very dangerous..
The display screen is way to small ,,,And you have to try and scroll all the time
Just to find your current location on the micro sized map to add way points,..
its very annoying..
IT Does work as a GPS in sense i guess thats after you read the poorly made INSTRUCTION booklet.
about 100 TIMES if you can...
THIS UNIT IS NOT USER FRIENDLY AT ALL!..
And not just that when reading the the pamphlet the person or persons who wrote the instructions
wrote some serious nonsense in the official write up or was trying to joke around or add humnor to it??..
Wow that really shows how much attention this company is putting in to its product!
So if you are going to buy one of these Magellan 110 GPS EXPORIST MODELS BRING LOTS OF BATTERies and lost of matches!
AND DONT TRUST IT WAY OUT there on your journey
AGAIN It MAY SHUT DOWN ON YOU AND THEN YOU WILL BE LOST REALLY GOOd....
I would have rather bought a 5 Dollar hatchet and made marks on the trees as i go WAY SAFER!!
If Magellan wants to Email me to kiss and make up --> or send me a GPS worth using
heres my email addy..
vikingsonn@gmail.com
I RATE THIS PRODUCT 0/10 ZERO OUTTA 10!
DONT BUY!!
BIG FAT ZERO NOT HAPPY AT ALL!!
Spend $100 more and look into GARMIN
BECAUSE THEY SEEM TO BETTER AND THINK THEY ARE A CANADIAN MADE TO BOOT!
TAKE CARE
