The Murray Walkers

Hi I got the Magellan eXplorist GC as a starter gps unit, and i'm over the moon with it. I got it for £126 on Amazon UK. out of the box it had firmware 1.8 when only 1.7 is on the web site? Magellan Vantage point is a must, it works very well with the gps. My only complaint is the user manual is poor(only 5-10pages long) Did 5 geocaches today and it worked great!! Very good for the money. jim
