Product Description

Amazon.com

The Magellan GPS 310 is an affordable 12-channel global positioning system receiver with an NMEA 0183 output for downloading map data from optional CD-ROMs via your PC. This GPS unit's quadrifilar antenna locks on to satellites for accurate positioning in all kinds of terrain.

View your navigation information on any of three graphic screens with a powerful backlight for dim conditions. Other GPS features include 100 waypoints, one reversible route with 10 legs, and a resettable trip odometer that tells you how far you've traveled so you can estimate the time you need to start back. Distance, bearing, heading, direction, steering, speed, time to go, elevation, XTE, time, and satellite elevation are all displayed on the high-resolution LCD screen. Tough rubber armoring protects this unit in the field, and waterproofing allows it to float.

The GPS 310 runs on two AA alkaline batteries for up to 20 hours. It comes with a wrist strap and quick-reference guide. It is covered by a one-year warranty.

Magellan GPS 310 1.5-Inch Portable GPS
This little GPS may do what I need it to do when I get it out in the woods. I have run it through some simple paces and the only problem I found is there are some of the little liquid crystals in the display that are spotty...sometimes they work and sometimes not. But, they are mostly readable. The buttons are slow to respond but I have to believe that is because the unit, or at least the packaging was manufactured in 2002.I ran through the setup and set it up for my home residence then made the first landmark, or waypoint to my home address. I also looked up the coordinates of the town I live in on Wikipedia and the numbers came up on the unit exactly as reported in Wiki.Update 11/16/16: I cranked up the GPS this morning after putting in newer batteries and most of the malfunctioning lcd's are now working. Could have been a lower voltage issue using renewable NiMH batteries. They were charged just before installation but may not have been fully charged, Today I will give this little dude a road test. I will take it to the woods when I hunt again. Now I like it a little better. (the 4 stars is for the unit. I left out the last star because of the difficulty in contacting the seller. But, if I order from them again I may have an extra star for them. )I only need this GPS so I can find my way out of the woods. I usually hunt and hike the sane area but I did get turned around once this year. I had not been there for 3 years and everything changed a lot and I got confused. But the landmarks I chose for such a case were still in place so it was easy to get back to the car. It was a long walk but I made it. This little GPS would have saved me many steps and I am happy with the purchase. Next will be data cables if Magellan tells me there are software updates available.

The 310 does just what you need. It is not cluttered with a bunch of screens that you will never use. Get the power stand and you can connect it to your boats 12 volt supply, autopilot and pc for use as a chart plotter when you buy the chart book with the cd app.
Thanks to the seller for fast delivery.
I am a licensed skipper and have covered 20,000 miles off the coast o southern Californa from Morro bay to Cabo Ssn Lucas using these units.

2.0 out of 5 stars Good bargain for connecting to laptop computer
Reviewed in the United States on April 18, 2004
The Magellan 310 is an old, discontinued GPS receiver. I bought the Magellan 310 at $30 at a local chain department store. As I suspected, the unit displays the coordinates in only 4 digits of "minutes" (A.K.A. DD MM.MM format). Modern GPS receivers display 5 digits of minutes. Unfortunately this means the Magellan 310 can only display coordinates to within +/- 60 feet in each dimension (North/South and East/West).

When I hooked the Magellan 310 to a laptop computer with a serial cable, the 310 outputs up to 6 digits of Minutes - more than sufficient for any task. So if you're looking for a bargain priced GPS receiver for use with a laptop for something like NetStumbler or DeLorme Street Atlas, I think this is a good bargain if you can find it under $50. Be sure to budget for extra cost of a serial cable (about $20) as the cable is not included.

Unfortunately, you can't transfer saved waypoints between your computer and the 310 with the serial cable.

I also think this GPS receiver is perfectly suitable for situations where high precision isn't required. For example, finding your way back to your car after hiking in the woods doesn't really require 3 Meter precision like modern GPS receivers have - the Magellan 310 should get you within 20 Meters (about 65 feet). That should get you close enough to see your car.

One of the most popular reasons for buying a GPS receiver is for geocaching. Most people that want to try out geocaching look for a low-priced GPS receiver so they can try the sport and decide whether or not they like it. While it might be tempting to buy the Magellan 310, I strongly suggest spending a few more dollars on a GPS receiver with 5 digit minute precision like the Magellan 315 or the Magellan Sportrak. It is technically possible to geocache with the Magellan 310, but you'll have to manually adjust for the 4 digit minute precision. Explaining how this adjustment works is beyond the scope of this review, but trust me when I say you want something better than the Magellan 310 for geocaching.

3.0 out of 5 stars Get The Magellan 315 - for a few dollars more - Worth it!
Reviewed in the United States on June 12, 2003
I had purchased a 310 and a 315 because they run out of the Magellan 315. What a difference! To start the batteries do not run out that often, the 315 is more accurate somehow, dont ask me why; just comapring side by side the 310 even though a bit smaller seems less "in the Game"
I gave my 310 to my son, its a godd starter GPS, if you are serious about GPS handhelds, get the Magellan 315 for a few dollars more. Worth every penny!

Es un magnifico aparato que, aunque en las instrucciones dice, que tarda su tiempo en hacer el tracking, he encontrado que lo hace muy rápido y certeramente. Mucho mejor que otros de mayor precio que he conocido.

4.0 out of 5 stars Low cost doesn't mean low performance
Reviewed in the United States on April 14, 2001
The Magellan 310 holds 100 waypoints in memory. Higher priced units hold 500, but since I am not a "world traveler" 100 is fine with me. The unit does not come with an NMEA cable to connect to a PC, but Magellan will send you one free if you pay the 5 dollar shipping charge. The owners manual explains all of the features of the unit in sufficient detail that even I can operate it.
The manual is overly pessimistic in regard to the time the unit takes to "fix" a location. The manual says 2 to 5 minutes for a location fix, but I get a "lock" in 30 to 50 seconds most of the time. Sitting on my sofa, in front of a window, the unit obtained a postion fix in 45 seconds with the venetian blinds only partially open. Venturing into a desert canyon the unit performed even faster. With most of the horizon blocked by the canyon walls the 310 locked in a postion fix in 30 seconds.
The 310 also performed well in a moving car, with the unit propped up on top of the dashboard. In the moving car the 310 maintained a lock on enough satellites to register speed of travel and a working "North" arrow.
It doesn't have the bells, whistles, moving maps, etc. of the higher priced units, but it does what I wanted it to do when I bought it.
