I use this both personally and professionally to find the location of fires. I’ve used many Garmin models and love them for use in aircraft. In the air you can’t beat Garmin. Magellan is known for its superior water navigation systems by yachtsman around the world. On the road Garmi..." Read Full Review »

"I didn't get the product that was promised. I purchased the Crossover and in itself it is a nice unit. The main reason I purchased this model was that I could use it hiking with the detailed topo maps and on the road.

"I like the fact that the unit can play MP3 tunes, but predictably, you are not able to play your MP3 tunes AND navigate with the unit at the same time. The unit sometimes takes longer than I would expect of a unit with the latest SiFR III, 20 channel GPS technology, which should be faster in acquir …"  Read Full Review »

"This has higher temperature ratings than other GPSs... I bought it because I was working in the Mojave Desert.

I have not used it for marine …"  Read Full Review »
