I checked on Magellan's website and was told to call 1-800-707-9971 to get more info on the status of their Vista updates. I can tell you that I just talked to them and apparently they will have the Vista drivers on their website within the month. They've been working on it for the past 6-7 months but I guess they are confident in the one month timeframe. If you call that 1-800 number they will add you to the email list to advise you when the udpates are available and even call you to help you get them installed. Good luck! Hi, I have made available from my website a modified driver for the Magellan eXplorist 600 to run under Windows Vista. This is the link to the existing forum on the driver and the direct link to the driver. I don't know if it will work with the 500, but I can't see any reason not to give it a try. The driver for the 600 has been widely downloaded and from all accounts, working seemlessly. If the driver does work for the 500, could you let me know, so that I can update my forum for other 500 users. Hope this helps. http://forums.Groundspeak.com/GC/index.php...n+explorist+600 http://www.avidinvestigations.com.au/files...ndows_Vista.zip VISTA VISTA VISTA.....are there any WINDOWS XP Drivers..???????? Buy A GARMIN, Magellan is a descent GPS, but that is it, everything else, website, support, software ABSOLUTELY SUCKS.......

Yes, but no drivers for windows xp, only vista and old 98.... Still USELESS..... Trying to find maps or upload maps to a Magellan is like pulling teeth in the dark with no painkillers. The magellan website is about as useless as a dead raccoon on the side of the highway, no drivers, no support, vague instructions, etc. The most horrible overall support I have ever seen for a product, once you buy their product, you are basically on your own..... My solution to this....GET RID OF THE MAGELLAN AND BUY A GARMIN....
