Magellan Explorist 610 2011

£400.00

The Explorist range marks the return of Magellan to the British outdoor market. There are three products in the range, with the 610 being the most suitable for hillwalkers as it has an electronic compass. This is a touch-screen device and I found the operating system very intuitive straight from the box. You can create routes on-screen quickly, but like ...

Magellan Explorist 610

£400.00

A brand new model from one of the big outdoor navigation brands that has been a bit quiet over recent years here in the UK. It’s the middle unit of the series, which essentially means that it comes with a barometric compass, but not road navigation (available on the next model up). Its rounded shape houses a three-inch touchscreen display. ...

Magellan Explorist 610 2011

£399.00

While there’s been a flurry of development from most brands of GPS receiver over recent years, Magellan has been notable for its lack of new products for the hill-walker. But after much anticipation the Magellan Explorist range has finally arrived, and first impressions are good.There are three primary units in the range – the Explorist 510, 610 and 710 – ...

Magellan Triton 2000

£530.00

The top-end Magellan unit has a large, clear screen and works with touch-screen technology as well as with the normal menus and joystick. It’s quite a lump in the hand, though, and weighs quite a bit, and like its less-expensive stablemate, it suffers from complex PC compatibility that requires exporting routes to a proprietary software before they can be downloaded ...

Magellan Triton 500

£270.00

A lovely robust, compact unit that has a small but very clear colour screen. The menus are easy enough to use, but are specific to the page you are viewing, so it’s not always obvious where to look for things, eg the Set-up menu is only accessible from the Map page, via the View option. PC compatibility is okay, although ...

Magellan Triton 2000

£450.00

Like its smallerc cousin, the Triton 2000 uses free download proprietary VantagePoint software to transfer route data from PC to GPS. You can use a scroll wheel or tiny stylus (spares supplied) to navigate through menus and, while both work well, we’re not sure about the stylus in a gale or pouring rain. Full marks for the ‘one press’ buttons ...

Magellan Triton 300 2008

£130.00

Links to a PC via Magellan’s free download VantagePoint software but you need to import your route from Memory-Map into VantagePoint before downloading it. Tracklogs are uploaded in the same way. Navigating around the menus is easy enough with positive clicks as you scroll through the options, but the main control is fiddly to use with gloves on. Easy to ...

Magellan Triton 2000 2008

£450.00

The Magellan Triton 2000 is the first GPS receiver that allows you to take photos, and record and play audio files that can be attached to waypoints, which is a great way to ‘diarise’ your walk. Triton is also the first hand-held GPS to offer compatibility with National Geographic TOPO US State series and US Weekend Explorer 3D maps series. ...

Magellan eXplorist 500

£369.00

This GPS unit from Magellan is very user-friendly, with a decent-sized screen and clear colour display. Simple “Mark and Find” buttons make basic functions easy, although buttons are very small and close together. Downloading routes from a PC is trickier than on some other units. It’s small, neat, light, robust and very comfy in the hand. Following routes on its ...

Magellan eXplorist 210

£179.00

This neat little GPS unit from Magellan has a decent-sized black and white screen and a brightness switch. The buttons are very small and data transfer can be fiddly, but actual navigation through the pages is easy and the menus are reasonably intuitive. It will connect to a PC, via a USB cable, but not as easily as some. The ...

Magellan eXplorist 100

£70.00

This GPS unit from Magellan is very basic, tough, rugged and black and white, at a very affordable price. There’s no PC compatibility at all, though. It will give you an accurate grid reference on your exact position, and you can also input a route by hand. If all you want from a GPS is something to carry in your ...

Magellan Crossover GPS

£280.00

This motoring-style Sat Nav system from Magellan can also be used as a walking GPS, with preloaded, semi-detailed, topographic mapping. Not great on the hill, as it doesn’t use OS grid references and the topographic mapping isn’t detailed enough to navigate with on its own.

Magellan eXplorist 600

£320.00

This GPS unit from Magellan requires routes to be downloaded firstly by converting them to the correct format on your PC, then saving them to the unit, which is only recognized by your PC as a removable drive – clunky compared to the Garmin system, but a lot more straightforward than some others. For inputting waypoints or routes by hand, ...
