Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Magellan eXplorist 200 Water Resistant Hiking GPS
Customer Review: Explorist 200 is GREAT!
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased the explorist 200 as a navigation tool while out in the woods, primarly scouting the state lands of Michigan for hunting opportunities. The explorist has allowed me to go deep in the woods, that just wouldn't be possible with a regular compass. I know distances to and from locations and with 5000 points of interest, I will never run out of places to mark. :)
My only regret is not buying one sooner! This is a great tool for any outdoorsmen.
Customer Review: Good for a beginner but might dump your memory
Summary: 2 Stars
A few months in use and my 200 started to dump memory at random intervals. This meant that each time I powered on, it was a gamble as to if my coordinates were still entered. This is very frustrating when I go on a trip, I always have to make sure I have a paper back up source of my information. If you get a 200 that works then I would recommend the unit for beginners but I don't know how common this problem is.Customer Review: Good GPS
Summary: 5 Stars
This was a very good and accurate GPS unit. Sturdy and well made. Batteries lasted a long time and it found the satellites pretty quickly. Some of the functions such as setting it to coordinates you wanted to find was a bit awkward it worked flawlessly. I ended up selling it on E-bay as I wanted a unit with a more detailed map. The new unit has a better map but is not as accurate as this Magellan was.Customer Review: Great for hiking
Summary: 4 Stars
This GPS has gotten me out of the woods more than once in the dark. By setting waypoints on the unit 4 of us were able to get back down off North Dome in Yosemite in the dark and find our way back to the car. For the price this unit does plenty to get you out of trouble and as an avid photographer i use it on every trip. Like the old American Express add never leave home without it!Customer Review: It does the job.
Summary: 5 Stars
I use the GPS unit for when I go out geocaching and it works great. The map detail is so much better compared to the 100 version, and I haven't noticed anything really lacking when compared to the 300 version. I've used it at my school to teach an after school geocaching program, and so far it has survived multiple encounters with 1st, 2nd, and 3rd graders.
