Magellan Crossover GPS


$400.00 Released December, 2005

Product Shot 1 The Pros:Has 3 GPS maps; car, hiking, and marine. Has audible directions so you don't have to look at map in busy traffic. I have used this in 120 degree heat and -40 degree cold. It hasn't always worked, but most of the time it does.

The Cons:Locks up fairly often, seems to do it in hiking mode a lot. Magellan has terrible map updating. Not compatible with Apple computers.

Magellan's Crossover GPS receiver is a model meant to cater toward those you want all the features of handheld and automotive GPS units in one product. It features all of the standard auto-navigation GPS features (city maps, clear view, Points of Interest, spoken directions, etc.
