I purchased this because sometimes I fish and hunt in extreme conditions. I use to use a compass, but after it froze and I got lost one time I decided to embrace technology and go with a GPS unit. I gave this one star because I used it once in freezing weather and the cold corrupted the software, good thing I still had a compass, which i keep close to my body to prevent freezing :) I returned the product and I was sent a Magellan Triton as the replacement unit, no problems yet. It appears that they are aware of this software corruption issue and as long as you're within the 6 month warranty, there is a no questions asked replacement policy. I would only recommend this unit for those in mild climates.

I had one of these before. It was cheaper to get another one then repair the old Explorist 400. I use it for area calculation. Could be easier to use but I am satisfied with it for what I use it for. I do wish it had more detailed maps for this model from Magellan.
