I got this penguin as a Geocaching travel bug. He traveled 1365 miles between Groundhog Day and Memorial Day 2016.  (See Geocaching dot com)

We geocache a lot and sometimes find ourselves trapped where you can go in but can't get back out. This is perfect for just such an occasion, lol.

I don't know whether I was shipped an outdated copy, but this map is missing current tube stops as of July 2013. I love their laminated maps, but I prefer to have all the stops on mine!

Decent beginner level GPS for Geocaching only. prior to purchasing this item I was using an iPhone for Geocaching. The battery on the iPhone drains rapidly when Geocaching. The eXplorist GC has an excellent battery life. It's accurate at getting to the coordinates. It can store quite a few caches with all the necessary data and hints, waypoints, etc. Price point was 50 to 75% less than other GPS devices. Instructions that came with the unit are useless. You must download the manual from the Magellan website. Even then I had to go to some forums to get some answers about the unit. Biggest cons about the device: It doesn't have an internal compass; uses GPS readings to plot your direction. If you are not moving, there is no way to tell what direction you need to go. As a result, it's easy to start in the wrong direction until the directional indicator gets enough readings from the satellites. Also, you can display the long/lat coordinates of the cache, but you cannot do a side by side with your current coordinates vs cache coordinates. Accuracy is about 10 to 12 feet of cache (iPhone can be 100 feet off). Paired with a hikers compass this unit works quite well.
Added note 12/21/2012: Unit died after 1.5 years. Magellan tech support replied promptly, but they don't offer a repair service. You can trade it in at their website for a discount on a newer model. Even with the discount, a newer GPSr can be had for less on Amazon or other sites. For this reason, I purchased another brand of GPSr.

Everytime that I try to use my Tile I feel the responsibility to update my review and let others know that this thing does not work.  My key was lost in my house yet the tile is not helping me find it.  Furthermore since I have my phone in hand, why is it indicating that my phone is blocks away from where I am?  My suggestion for anyone looking for a key locater is to wait for Google or Apple to invent one.

The reviewer who can't get the multi-stops chosen to be in geographic order is not entering them correctly.  When deciding to put a "stop" into your route, how you do it determines how the software works.  If you choose "ADD A STOP" the software will put that stop into the sequence that you entered it.  For instance, if you want to stop at Aunt Jane's first, then go to Sam's house, you would add those stops in the order you want to do them.

If you want multiple stops to be made in the shortest geographic distance and the sequence of the stops is not important, use "INSERT A STOP."  The software will then arrange the stops to be made in the most efficient manner.

To choose the ADD or INSERT for a STOP, go the Route tab, choose New/Edit, and use the drop-down box at the end of the Stop window to pick either Add or Insert.

The new Street Atlas has excellent Point of Interest options, and allows flexible routing by using the ADD VIA and INSERT VIA options.

The device works great, but the recalculations attribute takes longer to process than my previous GPS model. Secondly, I was disappointed that the map was not up to date particularly for the speed zone designation.

I can't figure out how to update the map on this thing and it keeps sending me down one way street

My uncle got me into geocaching and so my wife and I have been doing it ever since we are up to 76+ found geocaches and will be placing our own when we get to 100! The build of these Nano Caches are superb! I am really happy they came with a log too! These were by far the cheapest on the market and from experience a good build in comparison to the other nano caches we have seen and found. Will definately recommend to other geocaching friends! Also customer service was really great!

I promised location update every 60secs. It was more like every 60 minutes. Thats for the time in which it was working. After 1 day it stopped working as a whole

I just returned from a trip and it worked great!  I love being able to talk to it vs. typing in an address.  Free maps for life.  I'm set!

I purchased this for our trip to costa rica, was a bad mistake! it repeatedly took us to the wrong locations. the road map was fine, but their was a lot of attractions, hotels, that were not listed on the map, or it took you to the wrong place. we were there several years ago and rented a gps with our vehicle and had no problems whatsoever, next time i will rent one from the car rental!

I bought this bag as my geocaching and day hiking bag.  I keep all of my supplies together so I can take off on a geocaching adventure without forgetting anything behind.  Bag also works great for travel.  The bag is large enough to take my iPad mini tucked into the back pocket.

I had an older model that would get me anywhere. The new one I have used three times and it has not got me nowhere near my destination, trying  to take me miles in the wrong direction. This is after going online and updating the maps. Some adresses it refused to even enter.

I'm very disappointed in microsoft. This version of streets & trips gives wrong street address locations & latitude,longitude positioning.

I was contemplating buying one of these.  However, when traveling from King of Prussia, PA to Oaks, PA.. two sizeable towns outside Philadelphia.  It could not find OAKS, PA.  If the Garmin or any other GPS is supposed to save time and money, for the amount of money they're asking for... it should be complete!!  I would hold off buying a GPS until they get better.

this is a GREAT item for anyone who likes to Geocache.
If you are not sure what this is check out [...]
it is a great family event similar to a Treasure hunt for kids!

My children LOVE it.. Plus in our area we see many historic landmarks with this.
This item will get you within 3 to 5 feet of the co-ordinates of the Geo Cache.
You can download the co-ordinates directly from the website into the device.

So again if looking for a fun family time for all ages (mine are from 2 to 9) this is it!
