[Paddlewise] SV: Magellan GPS

"Has anyone out there have any experience with Magellan GPS units?"

I'm using a Sportrak Color, and recieves the usual servicepacks for my
XP pc's. I use clients certified for use with Windows XP and with serial
connection for up and download.

Then suddenly I couldn't connect to BlueNav or Streets map. The program
started but hang during initialization. Magellan support was not able to
give any explanation apart from advising a reinstallation, and I
reinstalled the software several times. On some of my pc's I could make
the connection work, and on some not. Now I'm using a specific pc for
the up and downloads.

Magellan seems uninterested in updating problematic old software even
though they are still selling it on some markets.
