Sorry to ask, but are you looking at the POI's or at the Geocaches when you go to select them on the Explorist?

What path does it have to save the file to? Is is the same drive letter your Explorist is, and with a geocache folder???

I agree with you DocW, as it is a couple of simple clicks to load, another two to mark it as found. My only gripe, if you can call it that, is when you mark a cache as found, I wouldn't mind it asking to load another...

If you click on the GPS menu at the top, there is an Export to Magellan Explorist. This works a treat for me.

I can vouch here in Australia, that the upgrade for the 210 is nothing short of amazing. I liked it beforehand, but it has supercharged the GPSr. Love the new screens, I also now also get the quoted times for a warm acquisition (about 20-30 seconds) and up to 7-8 satellites in the fisrt minute. Haven't tried projection, but the ability to mark a cache as found, and have it disappear off the list is great.

I have only just recently started, and have an Explorist 210. Love the size map you can fit onto it, and with the recent Euro firmware update, it is a quick little unit. Just for any other aussies, make sure to turn WAAS off, as it will never help us here in Australia. EDIT: Sorry for double post, it had errored and timed out, so I submitted it again!

There are European specific models, which I would assume have a European basemap in them. Same can be said for the 210's firmware, that it is only meant for the European models, but some in North America have loaded it, and so far have only seen it defaults to metric rather than imperial

I have an explorist 210, which seems to me, looking purely at the specs, that the 210 has a lot larger memory area (22MB compared to 8MB for the 300) The extra bit that the 300 seems to have is a barometer and a thermometer, but appears to have no bigger screen. BUT it can tell which way you are facing when you are not moving, the 210 can't do that (but walk a metre or two, and will soon tell you) From what I can see, the 300 was meant to be an improvement over the 200, but from what I see the 210 is a better unit, unless they decided to release a 310 with extra memory like the 210. Consider this also, they don't have a Euro 300 model, which may suggest that the 210 "superseded" the the 300, but has a slightly lower quality GPSr chip

Just had it happen here, reseat the cable, that was my problem.

Not really aware of any cons, outside that it doesn't have a battery cell, rather 2 x AA batteries. New firmware (applies to EURO models only??) adds a few extra NAV screens for those that are more left/right minded rather than N/S/E/W minded

I will vouch that a Explorist 210 is a very easy GPSr to use. Although technically minded, a new gadget is a new gadget with it's own set of menus and screens to work out. I mainly went with the Magellan Explorists due to the directional joystick on the front, a lot easier to use than something on the side of the unit, as many of the Garmin's are.
