These things are crap

by   gpssuru ,  Jan 7, 2009
Pros: not really any that I can think of - the thing is useless
Cons: the included maps are useless, and you cant upload your own maps
The Bottom Line: STAY AWAY from Magellan products - they do not provide any valuable support for their product.
Review: When I first bought the 500, I was very annoyed at how user unfriendly the whole thing was but I figured I just needed to get used to it. Well now I am used to it and my opinion of the Magellan has dropped even further. I don't know where to start - I ...

Not worth the Money

by   terasailor ,  Oct 5, 2008
Pros: It does basic GPS functions.
