- DisappointedI have a Magellan Sportrak Pro and I like it a lot for its practical design and accuracy. Naturally I was keen to move up to the Sportrak Color and improve performance. Instead I have found the Sportrak Color has what appears to be a design flaw so serious the unit is almost unuseable.
The problem is that the screen is so dim it can't be seen in normal daylight. I'm used to my Sportrak Pro's screen and I've never had problems in any environment, day or night. This unit is very ... Read More

- Good GPS Outstanding PriceI recently revieved this GPS for a gift and I love it. It's very sturdy and it has a nice color display. The reception is outstanding, I can even recieve strong signals in my basement. The only down side to this device would be the roadways. They are not very detailed, but interstates, state roads, and county roads still show up. I find the ammount of roads in the US plentyful, but there are very few roads in Canada displayed. Although this may seem as a downside it is not that bad, because software ... Read More

- Many components, poorly thought out..After reviewing different gps devices for months I finally came down to the sportrak color. The only experience I had with them was the garmin rino we use at work. When I opened the box for some reason the gps unit was in there upside down. Shortly after opening it I noticed that the control pad was stuck off to one side. That upset me but I wasn't going to return it over just that. Me and a few of my friends went down to the lake later that day to do some geocaching. I felt pretty secure climbing the ... Read More

- Works great, but you can't see what's on the screenThe display on the SporTrak Color is very poor. I'd take a sharp B/W display over this any day. It is unreadable on the dash of your car unless it is dark and the backlight is on. The battery door is really flimsy too. There is only a small plastic tab to keep it closed instead of a screw or something more trustworthy (like on the SporTrak Pro). Waterproof? Maybe. The unit works great, [...].

- I Returned MineThis was my third GPS. I've been using a Garmin EMap for several years and love it. Most of my use has been while driving in the boondocks of New England, to get me back to a highway. I also use it while hiking. But I've been getting into geocaching lately and I wanted a WAAS equipped unit. Since I only kept this unit for a week before returning it, I'll concentrate on what led me to take it back.
Display: It's smaller than on the EMap. Sure the resolution is better, but while driving I had a lot ... Read More
