The eXplorist 100 features Magellan's TrueFix technology, which takes advantage of 14 parallel channels, supported by WAAS and EGNOS for fast signal acquisition, minimal signal loss, and reliable accuracy to within three meters. This handy GPS unit lets you save up to three track-log files each with up to 2,000 trackpoints, 500 points of interest, and 20 routes to guide you back to your favorite spots or, more importantly, to your car or home, time and time again.

With one-button access the eXplorist 100 takes you directly to all of the most important features, so even the first-time user can easily navigate with it. This unit has a four-level grayscale, high-contrast LCD display for easy viewing, and an amber-glow back light that protects your vision so you can see both your eXplorist 100 and the path in front of you. Powered by only two AA batteries (not included), this handheld GPS unit can run for up to 14 hours (without the back light). In addition, the eXplorist 100 boasts an alarm that alerts users when they are within 250 feet of a destination or are 250 feet left or right of their computed track.

A truly international traveling companion, the eXplorist 100 is almost certain to speak your language, with settings for English, French, German, Spanish, Italian, Swedish, Finnish, Portuguese, Dutch, and Norwegian. And wherever you happen to be, you can view your speed, direction, distance to destination, and all the GPS information you need on three easy-to-view navigation screens. Ready to go right out of the box, the Magellan eXplorist 100 lets you monitor the GPS satellites in view and get information about their status, and it requires no service fees and no activation fees, so you can feel free to use it all the time.

Designed with the user in mind, this Magellan GPS unit weighs a light four ounces with batteries and measures a pocket-sized 2.1 by 1.3 by 4.6 inches (W by D by H). The eXplorist 100 is rugged enough to endure the most trying use, and it provides that most critical of benefits--peace of mind. With the eXplorist 100 you will always know where you are, where you have been, and where you are going. And since you will always know the way back home, you can concentrate on what you set out to do--explore the outdoors.

4 out of 5 stars Good product. .......2007-06-08

I thought it was a good product for the money. I found it cheaper here than anywhere else. We wanted it for geocaching. It is not a product to put in your car to tell you to turn left at the next street. We have used it on a couple geocaching excursions and loved it. It was worth the money for the fun it has given us. I would buy it again.

4 out of 5 stars It's cool.......2007-05-27

This GPS unit is very basic. You are an arrow and you have to go towards a dot (that you have to go to before programming it).

Now to clarify a few things, this unit is NOT capable of having maps placed on it from a computer (or anything else), this units accurracy is good for the price but it's not as accurate as everyone else makes it out to be, and finally they say it's backlight is an amber type (which I was worried about) but it's actually a bright orange color which was a pleasant surprise.

A great benefit to it is the ability to change datums for the units (which is great for GIS, although accuracy can sometimes be a drawback)

Overall, buy it if you are into hiking or involed in some GIS types of programs.

5 out of 5 stars works exactly how it should........2007-03-21

I bought this for my dad to use out at his hunting cabin which sits on the edge of his own 40 acres of forest and ravine land with 300 surrounding acres of state land. He of course didn't need it but found out that giving the GPS receiver along with a motorolla hand held radio to my younger cousins and friends when they go out exploring keeps him from having to go find them as often. He just sits up on the deck with his radio and talks them back to the cabin. If they get lost he taught them to use a mixture of finding the easiest way thru the forest and following the arrow on the magellan which has gotten them home safe and sound every time.

5 out of 5 stars Very Happy.......2007-01-24

The product was in the exact shape as described when i purchased it. The christmas present was a hit. thank you for your business.

5 out of 5 stars Great Christmas Gift.......2007-01-14

My brother has been having a great time with the GPS unit. He tells me it is very accurate, except inside buildings such as a mall where it cannot easily communicate with the locator satellites. Outside it is fantastic.
