Magellan
SporTrak Map Handheld GPS
|
|
Back in March/2004, I was looking for a cheap/quality GPS
that used alkaline batteries, a monochrome display, and could
be used out of the box, without connecting the unit to a PC.
Well this GPS was my answer! It took me sometime to find it,
but the wait was well worth it! I remember stopping by Fry's,
Best Buy and a number of other electronic stores and being told
that I would not be sold a GPS that did not offer a monochrome
display, and worst of all would not be sold a GPS under $400!
I do not understand why so many people using electronics feel
they need a Bazooka to kill a rabbit. Shouldn't sales people
understand that not everyone needs a powerful device, and some
people just need a simple unit? Well I only needed a pistol
for the job and found it at Radio Shack.
Well the Magellan SporTrak Map GPS has 2MB of built in maps,
which entails interstates, freeways, and highways, not to disclude
airports and other points of interest. For me, I do not expect
a GPS to replace a regular map, but just to be a strong add
on, which will tell me my exact location when I'm traveling.
This GPS unit has 6MB of free memory for detailed street maps,
but the only catch is the price of the MapSend CD-ROM, which
is highly overpriced. So, I do not expect to add on any detailed
maps to my GPS anytime soon. I recommend this GPS to all users
wanting a simple monochrome GPS unit with great battery life
(15+ hours) and only need a GPS for freeway, interstate, and
highway navigation. Oh one more thing for the best battery life
use the Energizer Titanium cells.
