I'm a Magellan guy myself, even though I think Garmin's newer units are much better than the simple crap Magellan has been releasing. This one looks okay though.

I think Garmin's are just way too overpriced.

Geocaching is fun as hell though. I've explored my whole city. There's a lot of stuff you'll find that you never new existed. Every little nook and cranny of where you live.]]>Dec 19th 2005 2:14AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/04/08/magellan-explorist-500-gps-handheld-hits-north-america/http://www.engadget.com/2005/04/08/magellan-explorist-500-gps-handheld-hits-north-america/They also have one other one for $2300 according to their web site. This one takes a video input from a TV camera also. He had a number of older Magellan and Garmin units like the Street Pilot 3 and a bunch of old handhelds.

I looked on the web and Lowrance is
going to have a 10 inch screen in the iWay 800c which would be nice.

I'm sure the Magellan units are good as well.

Cobra, on the other hand, had poor reviews no matter where I looked :)]]>Dec 19th 2005 2:14AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/04/08/magellan-explorist-500-gps-handheld-hits-north-america/http://www.engadget.com/2005/04/08/magellan-explorist-500-gps-handheld-hits-north-america/and magellan is soooooo pc]]>Dec 19th 2005 2:14AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/04/08/magellan-explorist-500-gps-handheld-hits-north-america/http://www.engadget.com/2005/04/08/magellan-explorist-500-gps-handheld-hits-north-america/Dec 19th 2005 2:14AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/04/08/magellan-explorist-500-gps-handheld-hits-north-america/http://www.engadget.com/2005/04/08/magellan-explorist-500-gps-handheld-hits-north-america/

I'm trying to find out if the Lowrance iWay 500c has the capability of maps of Europe. I know it's available for the Magellan and the TomTom.



Thanks for your help!]]>Dec 27th 2005 3:43PM
