my bad. I just reread your post about not getting a ticket. You still get the point.

Good Gravy!!! There is no way you can beat a speeding ticket with your GPS!! Just pay it. You could still argue the point, but they won't recognise your device against a Radar or Laser certified Police officer. I could see if you live in a really small town and you have a Barney Fife type cop that doesn't know how to calibrate his speed detection device. Again you would have to prove the officer didn't use it correctly. From an ex-Cop.

I just got my explorist 210. I have a PC with Windows XP home. What progam should I load to utilize my new gps? I know there is a disc that came with the unit. Buy would I be better off with another program? And What should it be? I have read several threads about the Swiss army utility 6.5. I am also looking at getting a Premium membership. I have my unit now but can't use until after Christmas. Where to begin?

go to amazon and get an Explorist 210. Bought mine for $125.95 after all discounts.

Just got my explorist 210. Unfortunately I won't be able to play with it according to my boss at home cause it's not Cristmas yet!!! Oh well can't wait to hit the ground running with it!!!!

One more thing people. I have also read some points on what kind of download programs to use for input of cache locations. What is the benefit of being a premium member versus not? Still very new at this.

I have ordered my Explorist 210 from Amazon.com for $125.95 including shipping. and after all the rebates and free shipping. I should get it the next couple of days. Hopefully my wife will let me open it before X-mas. MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL!!!!! I CAN STILL SAY THAT!!!!! MERRY CHRISTMAS MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!!!

That last bit of information I will definately remember that when I get explorist 210. Thanks for the great advice!!

Thanks for the input. Any one else have any input for the Magellans? I will probably go for the Magellan explorist 210.

I have continued to read posts on different types of gps's. I have heard some things about a Magellan Explorist 210 that will let me down load Cache waypoints. Is this a recommended model for me?

My natural next question is? What is the procedure for inputting coords manually versus downloading? I know nobody doing this to get any other info.

I need good solid advice for purchase of Magellan explorist 200 or Garmin e trex. Do I really need to download maps and such? Just wanting to get started. I want something easy to use. between 100 and 150 dollars. I don't know anyone else who is into this at all to give me advice or show me how to use these devices.
