Magellan 980611 MapSend Topo in the US Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)There are two limitations I've encountered in the very short time of use. Item #1 - The implamentation of the GPS to the software is very poor. Apperently MapSend, Streets and Topo, were written for the 330 GPS unit. Magellan has chosen to use the same software for the Meridian series. As a result, it's not a very clean solution. There are many work-arounds and bandaids just to get it to work. Most inconvenient! Item #2 - For the most part, hiking trails are omitted. Even the most popular trails here in the NW are not to be found in Topo. Question - Why else would one by a topo software package if not to see and locate trails?
I've only had this software for one week and to find these two problems so quickly, leads me to believe I've yet to find additional limitations.
