  1. Check here http://www.magellangps.com/products/map.as...amp;PRODID=1759 Magellan claims its Topos of Canada. I'm in Nova Scotia (originally from Toronto). Some friends here just bought the 500. I never thought to see if it had maps for Canada on it I will check on Thursday. I will say I hate the manual input method on the unit. You have to type in the N or W at the end of the coordinates and you have to change from numerals to letters to do it. At least it came with a usb cable. Two other friends bought Etrex Legends and they come with serial cables so useless as both people have newer laptops that don't have serial ports anymore.
  2. I can't find any mention of this problem on the net hope others here have heard of it. My 5 year old Etrex, never been dropped or wet is not displaying satellites when seeking them and seems to only every lock onto 3 for an accuracy of 65 meters. My unit was not used for about 5 months but the batteries were still 3/4 capacity. I turned it on standing in an unobstructed parking lot in the middle of nowhere on a sunny cloudless day and the Sat page shows empty then suddenly it shows 3 satellites but the accuracy is never better than 65 meters. Change of batteries did nothing, removing batteries over night did nothing. Maybe a drop would help any ideas??
