I want to purchase the Magellan GPS. However I wanted to ask what accessories does it come with?

I returned the Magellan GPS I purchased in 2009 when it arrived with a defective screen (speckled with black spots) and did not order another one. I don't recall what accessories came with it. I now rely on my iPhone apps for navigation (primarily Google Maps and Waze). Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

I honestly don't recall, but I am using my USB cord that is simply a standard one. I use the same USB cord to charge my phone, MP3 Players etc. Nothing special. I even used a simple standard USB cord to charge this GPS and also update the maps. So , just in case yours does not come with one, you can find them virtually anywhere, ie, 7 Eleven, Walmart, Amazon, Kmart, Sears, eBay etc. Please let me know if you need more help. By the way. the GPS I got is GREAT for the price. Very surprised and the battery life and performance for the price. Enjoy.

It has GPS capability, but you need to buy an add on device. I don't have one, so not sure what it costs

I'm sorry I really don't know, I Have only used it on my Dell.. I love My Magellan eXplorist. It was my best investment ever.

Unless the ad states that the GPS has the latest firmware I don't think there is any way to tell. When/if you get the GPS load the free software program VantagePoint from Magellan, it will update the firmware, this is a very handy program.I hope this helps.

A quick search and I found it at Magellan Models for $134.99. It is the same thing.

Did your GPS come with lifetime updates? If not, you may have to contact Magellan Customer Service to see if you can return it to be updated. Search GPS models and find one with lifetime updates and you will never have to worry about this topic again. My GPS unit gets 4 free updates a year. An update could cost you around $200.

I just recently purchased the Magellan and have been promised lifetime updates, so have not had that experience. I am not totally sold on the device as it has misdirected me several times to an incorrect location. I complained to the company and was told to download maps AGAIN which I have done and am still having problems. However I purchased the product more than 30 days ago so it cannot be returned. I also find it not very easy to use, which my family agrees with as they all use another product. Has anyone else had trouble with this device.

I think that you should download the driver (Content manager) for the device. Just go to the Magellan webpage. I had a similar problem some time ago but I solved just downloading the driver, and now is working perfectly, even updating maps!

Darn it, I have never tried the gps; however, I have found customer service at 5 Star to be very helpful. Also, please consider if you find the gps is not satisfactory, return the unit to Amazon or go ahead and buy it from a local Walmart for a bit higher cost, try it out and see what happens. BTW, I only need to charge my unit once each week and the provided test to check the unit works quite well. I like mine and the only negative in the experience is that in 5 Star advertisement, they really should note that a monthly tax will be added just like any telephone system. Mine adds about $3. Harry

There must be differences depending on when you buy. I got the unit itself, a window mount bracklet, a USB cable and a car charger cable which also gives live traffic updates. However I would NEVER buy or recommend TomTom. For the past year or more their after sales service sucks, there is none. Go to Garmin. After 15 years with TomTom I changed and it's a welcome relief.Cheers.

If this is the Garmin GPS V. The GPS should have come with the drivers. I do have the drivers and they are outdated and do not work. I have contacted Garmin for support and there are no updates.

You can add backup camera. It is sold by Magellan. Also there are carry cases if you want to take the unit on a hike. You can pair your phone with the system as well.

Magellan's customer support stinks -- you will be lucky if you get your issue resolved. Typically, the only way to 'fix' issues like this is to return your unit and buy a competitors product.

The only thing you need is the camera, it said that brings the camera, but it only have the cable and the camera app installed, and another thing, the radio have gps but you have to buy the antenna . If you press the gps icon the screen will turn black and you can't do anything, you have to put a DvD or connect the phone. The radio is perfect, I don't know why the manufacturer discontinued it,because the radio works perfect. Sorry for my bad English, my first language is Spanish, im bad at the English. If you have another question you know what to do.
