Well, I just purchased a Magellan eXplorist 500 from www.getfeetwet.com They had it for $249.00 and shipping was $13.18... Thanks for the advice to look at the 500! I feel I got a much better deal with the color screen for no additional cost!

Here is a good review on the explorist color screen... http://www.gpsinformation.net/waas/Mag3-D/eXplorist.html I don't know about the garmin...

Thanks for the info. I too have looked at Compusave. What I have found is you can get it a bit cheaper at www.fogdog.com. They have free shipping. Total cost is $250.54 then the $50 rebate. The other sites with the same deal are: the sports authority, dicks sporting goods and cbs sports (mvp) store. All have free shipping!

I have been trying to decide on my first GPS unit. I am stuck between the Magellan eXplorist 210 and the 400. It seems to me that the main difference is the ability to use SD cards with the 400. However, there is a large cost difference. For doing basic geocaching with my family and friends and mostly doing our excursions on the weekends and vacations. Is it necessary to step up to the 400? Or will the 210 do me just fine ? Any advice or comparisons would be welcomed.
