Over all pleased, April 11, 2008

Recenlty used this on a college road trip through New York state and Flordia with my daughter. The only place we got lost was Disneyworld while looking for our hotel. The address I had was not in the data base so could not program the Crossover exactlly. Otherwise, we dependened solely on the devise and never got lost. I need to learn how to navagate off-road since this is why I bought it in the first place, but the manual is not helpful for first time users.

Overall pleased with how it performed but there were some areas in Labrador that it did not work.

Picked up this GPS before a week trip to New Jersey and New York. Charged it at home then took off the next day using car power. Had only one navigation error on the first three days. Was near my home and it wanted me to go right but it had to be left. Made the turn and GPS returned to correct routing. Knew I needed it when I asked my wife, who was following on a map, where are we on the map. "Somewhere in this jumble of roads." I knew the GPS better guide me.
Only other glitch was after some heavy overnight rains and heavy morning fog. Could not get the GPS to pick up a signal. About an hour later when the fog and haze lifted we were back in business. Restaurant and gas station info was helpful. Some new developments are not in the data base. Believe it is 18 to 24 months behind. Have not tried the marine maps yet.
Overall a good purchase.

 

Excellent Product minor flaws, April 09, 2007

I really like this unit and have no major complaints about it. It does its primary job very well.
Minor flaw: I was hopeful the .mp3 player/photo viewer would a) accept my mp3/photo files written on an SD card directly, it does not, you must write them througha PC on the software they provide which is slow. and b) the mp3 player can not play music files while navigating, its one or the other but not both.

Other notes: the Green color is a rubber band and removable, mine did not have the lanyard hole in the corner as pictured, there is no lanyard hole to speak of.
The display does not show a compass heading while mapping (in vehicle nav mode at least -not sure about marine and foot modes), however, you can touch the top of the screen to bring up a compass with a speedometer next to it along with next road ahead and last road past info, but the info is not available at first glance.
The GPS receiver works really fast at finding itself. The device turns itself on when plugged in to external power, which I like. Since my car energizes the lighter socket at startup, the unit turns on when I start the car.
The marine version looked good, but I haven't had it in my canoe yet. The Terrain mode worked effectively on my first test as well.
I didn't give it 5 stars solely because of the mp3 player limitation.

 

Only Minor Flaws, November 06, 2007

Overall, I enjoy using it and it performs pretty well. One minor irritation is that it will select a nearby address instead of the one you give it at times. For example, I entered (carefully) my home address and it changed it to my neighbor's address. No idea why -- and my address has existed for 46 years, so it's not a new one. It's done this for some other addresses that I enter -- changed to something else on the same block.

Found one flaw in streets -- one of the streets on the route to my house is listed under some other name, so the directions make no sense (but the turn directions and timing are correct -- just the street name). This street has existed for 40+ years, so it's not a new one, either.

I wish the hiking setting would also show City names instead of just streets -- we like to use it while taking train trips and really want to know the city rather than the nearest street (usually Main Street - but what city?). I suspect no GPS units do this, though.

I bought the Magellan CrossOver GPS System with Street & Topo Maps to take some of the stress out of business travel. I have used it a few times with great success....no need to check maps or see signs. One time there was heavy fog which hid the road signs and it worked great! Can't wait to take it on a hike in the mountains to see how it works in that environment! Highly recommend it to others.
