Finally Just What I wanted
I've had a magellan map 330 for forever, and I wanted a color screen, a gps that stayed on the road (not 100 feet or more off the road)and annouced directions. I've used the magellans in rental cars, and was happy with their capabilty. The crossver meets my expectations, and its great to have all the maps as part of the cost. I am planning to buy the enhanced topo maps, because I use the unit for hiking as well. About 8 hours of battery time. My only issue is why do I need a gps to play musi...

Good unit overall, some bugs
So far I've found this to be a nice unit. I don't know why the last reviewer said there are no maps, the built in street maps are very accurate even out here in the middle of nowhere where I live. The topo map is very detailed and includes roads that I would better describe as cow trails. Magellan will supposedly release more detailed topo's soon.I am disappointed in the computer support. The only computer support is the POI generator and you can only generate POI's from Lat/Lon coor...

cool product, but needs tweaking
I've only had mine for a month, but i've come across a few cons. Main trip so far was driving from SF to Yosemite and 4 days of backpacking around. Some of this may go away with experience, but lots of these i think are product flaws (hopefully a firmware upgrade will come along soon...):- it has locked up many times (especially in topo mode when you turn "hold" on/off). Turning unit off and back on seems to fix, but takes a few minutes.- PC tools are not very user-friendly, i was ho...

Nice Product- Only one with hiking/ driving/ boating GPS functions
This is a decent product for the money, but best be served with a separate in-vehicle and outdoor unit. It is the only one on the market that does both driving, Hiking/ Geocaching and Boating all in the same unit. It is also the only combo unit that is splash resistant. NOT WATER PROOF!!! IPX4 is splash resistant up to so many liters/ minute. Better than a unit that would zap out even if damp!!! Easy to read screens with multiple color options for maps. Very nice automatic night viewing opti...

Crossover -crossed up
Ordered crossover in January and while entering waypoints it locked up. Sent back to the GPS store for an exchange. Just went on trip from Boise Id to Las Vegas and the new unit locked up and kept returning to the Blue Screen. Contacted Magellan and they said a software update would fix it. Downloaded update last night and it appears it fixed the problem. Will see. I was ready to try to exhange it for a different unit but Magellan said this would work-Hopefully we will see. The tech suppo...

I had higher expectations
I guess I had higher expectations for this product. I bought it to use for road travel as well as hiking an Geocaching.For the on-road use there were several things that annoyed me. First, there was a delay at some times when pushing buttons. I did not now if I had pushed it or not. Also, to mute it you have to go into a sub-menu then hit a mute button, then save. Should be a single click.One of the first times I used it by blindly following the directions, it had me...

WARNING TO ALL!
I received this product as a gift. It malfunctioned after a few days and magellan authorized a return repair stating it would be returned within "10 to 12 Days". In the meantime, they advertise a fishing marine map which can be downloaded. I purchased the chart for $99 but the download link was never provided. Many, many calls to technical support have provided no solution. They state that the download server is not functioning but refuse to stop selling the "downloads" to unsuspecting customers...

Great product with some slight reservations
I'd actually give this 4 1/2 stars out of 5 if I could. It can provide navigation and mapping capabilities for roadway, water, or off-road hiking (I'm not a boater so I can't judge the waterway aspect) which makes for wonderful versatility. The road navigation works very well and is fairly easy to use. The topographic maps that come pre-loaded for hiking are not as detailed as I would like -- according to the users manual, one can purchase (at considerable cost) more detailed 30-meter topos on...

Great little GPS
Just got this unit a couple of weeks ago and overall I love it.The street nav mode is excellent. I don't really have any complaints on it. Of course it's not 100% perfect, but I realize map data is always a year or two behind.Haven't used the marine mode.Hiking mode is great with one exception. The unit likes to lock up once in awhile. While geocaching, I'll realize the screen isn't updating and I have to reset it and then find that I've gone right by the cach...

Crossover crosses over pretty well
One the whole, I like my M. Crossover. Generally speaking, it does everything I need it for in regard to GPS. I do not use mine for the audio or visual playback and do not care about those functions. To date, I have done nothing with the computer software either and cannot vouch for that aspect.The best features to me were in having a GPS unit that I could use to plot courses in the car and yet have a GPS that would work well for hiking. I have driven all over north Texas with th...
