Great Price Magellan 980654-03 for $14.99

Magellan DirectRoute North America Street Map VGA Video Card Review



The problem we have found with the product is that anything you need in traveling on a motorcycle can usually be found at Wal-Mart. Very limited listings of the nearest Wal-Mart Stores. Very difficult instructions in loading (needs to be listed as 1,2,3, etc) I do have a Master's degree! Wish the company would make it easier to load and just to "get started".

Piece of junk - Aaron mclean -
These maps are horrible. Save yourself some time and money and buy a Garmin. The Garmin maps are 100 times better.



No Problems with my Explorist - Geodarts -
I was surprised by some of the reviews. I have used both version 3 and version 2 (offered here) on my Explorist without a problem. It appears from the Magellan web site that version 2 is the only software being offered at this time and I know that some users prefer version 2 to version 3. Version 3 did have better support for geocaching, but other than that, I am not sure that I noticed much of a difference.

To use this with the Explorist, you do have to go through extra steps, saving it to the hard disk and then transferring it over to the unit.

At one time, Magellan stated that there would be yearly updates. Hardly. This version is long overdue for one. And since the Explorist does not support automatic re-routing, the mapping is more cumbersome than the Garmins. Although this has gotten me where I need to go, if I am driving somewhere I generally pull out the Garmin. There are tricks out there that eliminate the need to always have the cd in the drive when it is used.



It's ok, wish it was updatable - B. Sogard -
I wish it was possible to update the maps, as in update to current maps, live download, what roads are different since I bought the software. As far as I've been able to find the maps the CD came with are the only map I'm 'allowed' access to. :-(
