Magellan SporTrak Water Resistant Hiking GPS Reviews
| 34 of 38 people found the following review helpful  Good Reception, ok features, By "serrano24" (San Jose, CA USA) - See all my reviews This review is from: Magellan SporTrak Water Resistant Hiking GPS (Electronics) I use my unit to log traces of my hikes and runs; so good, continuous reception is my most important criterion for judging this unit.I originally bought a Garmin eTrek GPS unit, but I had to return it. Reception was fine when properly oriented, but the small size and antenna design caused it to lose the satellite signal even under clear skies while I carried it in my hand. I could get good reception only if the unit was held horizontally. This makes it worthless for logging runs and hikes. The user interface on this Magellan is OK: it's easy to use on the run and somewhat customizable. It's also not too hard to learn to use. But some simple data isn't displayed, like time elapsed since start of trip, or average pace (though average speed is available.) Map quality is good, and the CD to download detailed maps is included, unlike the Garmin. Also, topographical data of most of the US is preloaded.

I chose this model because it already has a built in basic map of the United States, and has a large amount of internal memory so that I do not have to mess around with memory cards and such. It is also nice that the GPS comes with detailed topographic maps of the United States, which normally would require an extra $100.00 or so to buy. You don't have to buy extra software, extra memory cards, or extra accessories, everything is in the box so that you can simply get the one package and be good to go.Because I do about 95% of my hiking in a 240 X 160 mile area that stretches from South of Phoenix, Arizona to North of the Grand Canyon, I am able to just leave that area on the GPS nearly all the time and only take up about 1/3 of the available memory. That leaves enough room for Joshua Tree NP, Sequoia and Kings Canyon NP, Yosemite NP, and Channel Islands NP to all be uploaded in connecting regions so that I may use the GPS to get from place...
