The Magellan Meridian Gold
This is a nice hand held GPS unit. Somewhat water proof. Easy to use. I intend to put pictures on here soon.
The drawbacks on this unit is that Magellan company and website are difficult to use and in some cases no help at all. This unit only works with the Magellan Map Send software which is in some cases highly inaccurate and not user friendly at all. Neither is their website. When you call the support phone number you will be lucky to find someone who speaks clear enough English to be able to understand. The last time I called the guy on the other end didn't even know where or how to find the S/N for the software in the software. You must have the S/N before you can even send a message to them asking for help! GOOD LUCK WITH THIS ONE!
Please check the maps on the Map Send page and compare them with the maps from DeLorme on this site.
If you can use the Meridian Gold as a stand alone unit then you should do well but if you must use computer software to keep your maps up to date then I do not recommend it!
