The Magellan eXplorist 210 delivers GPS navigation in a rugged, handheld device. View larger. | If you have a passion for the outdoors, there's no reason you need to be a GPS expert to be able to take advantage of GPS tracking capabilities. The eXplorist 210 features Magellan's easy-to-use operating system, so you can concentrate on your activities without compromising your safety. When you connect the unit to your PC, the folders on the eXplorist 210 can be accessed just like any drive on your computer, and from there you access the information as you would a folder on your own computer. In other words, if you know how to navigate your PC, you'll feel right at home with the eXplorist 210. The unit offers 32 MB of memory, which includes 10 MB taken up by the basemap of major highways, airports, interstates, parks, rivers and lakes across North America. The remaining 22 MB is reserved for you to download and store Magellan MapSend programs and maps, or specific waypoints, routes and tracks for your next excursion. A USB PC cable is included, which will allow you to perform software updates, as well as download additional maps. This convenient feature allows you to download exactly the maps and data that you need for your excursion. If you're hiking a section of the Grand Tetons, you'll want to have the area's hiking trails, ranger stations, and elevation contours at your disposal. The eXplorist 210 lets you fine tune the data that you'll need for your trip. And don't let its compact size fool you. This handheld -- at a mere 2.2 x 4.75 x 1.3-inches (W x H x D) -- will let you create and store up to 190,000 personal points of interest and waypoints, 150 files with 20 routes each, and 150 track logs with 2,000 points each. The included Magellan MapSend Software DVD will help to optimize and manage your data and keep track of updates to new versions of MapSend maps. In other words, Magellan couldn't have made it much easier than this. The eXplorist runs on two AA batteries that last up to 17 hours. A large, 2.3-inch grayscale, backlit display features an amber glow that makes it easy to read at night. Other features include a vertical profile, a celestial table, and a best-fish and hunt-time calculator. The eXplorist 210 comes with a one-year manufacturer's warranty.

 Magellan GPS November 17, 2008
Good product. I use it to geocache and in my classroom for earth science instruction. It does everything I want it to
good for the average hiker August 12, 2008
It has all the functions and more a basic hobbyist needs. My friends that climb and hike use more expensive gps', but when they check this one out they see it have everything you need except no color and no expansion storage card slot. Despite not having a storage card slot, the memory can hold tons of maps and I haven't had a memory issue for all the areas I hike. I suggest you get re-chargable batteries. Good little and light device.
 Explorist 210 May 30, 2008
I purchased this unit about a year ago. I actually never used it more then 3 time at best. This year I was out in the woods and the zoom in button failed to work, The unit Zoom out to see the USA and would not Zoom back in at all. So I got lost in the woods for hours. However , I called Magellam on 5-29-08 to find that the unit is a discontinued unit and it not serviceable. So, They said that they will replace the unit with a Triton 300. The Triton unit is worth about $149.00 I paid over $250,00 for the Exporist 210. Plus you have to pay extra for the case, cables, Map hardware which came with the 210 unit package. The 210 unit has 22MB memory the Triton has 10MB. At lest Magellan is sending me the other unit no charge. Remember this is a discontinued unit!!!!

I bought this thing for my father-in-law (whom I LOVE). When he opened it, he tried it immediately ... and it didn't work! OK, so I return it to Amazon, telling then it was broken. They charge me a reshelving fee! If you want this thing, don't order it from Amazon ... you might get my old broken one! Let's see if they publish this!

I recently bought this unit and sort of expected to be able to use the MapSend Topo software (v 4.20) that I already had installed on my computer to load maps. Unfortunately the older versions of MapSend will not work with the Explorist 210. My correspondence to Magellan tech support about this issue was a waste of my time. If you're going to buy one of these, expect to have to buy the newest version of MapSend to load maps. Or maybe, better yet, look at Garmin.
