Timinator Posted May 18, 2006 Share Posted May 18, 2006 My old Palm Magellan unit has died. So, I'm shopping eBay for the best deal that I can get. So far, it looks like the Magellan 315 is a pretty good deal. Before I buy one I just wanted to get some opinions on the device. It's strictly for geocaching and I don't need a whole bunch of bells and whistles. Comments? Quote Link to comment
+briansnat Posted May 18, 2006 Share Posted May 18, 2006 It will work, but don't go paying more than $50 for it. Quote Link to comment
adrianjohn Posted May 18, 2006 Share Posted May 18, 2006 (edited) You may also want to go to the Magellan website and download the software update( really a firmware update) if it has not already been installed, look for Ver.3.15 at switch on. Linky For this you will need a data cable, one for a Sportrack or Meridian will do if you cant get the GPS 300 series one Or if handy with a soldering iron you could always make one up. The data cable also comes into its own when you want to download lots of waypoints for caches later when the geocaching bug really bites. Eedit for speeling.

+MAG315 Posted May 18, 2006 Share Posted May 18, 2006 Great little unit. I started out with one and still carry it for a backup. The version 3.15 update is a must for geocaching so be sure and download it. Quote Link to comment
+Woodbutcher68 Posted May 19, 2006 Share Posted May 19, 2006 Like MAG315, I use my 4 year old 315 as a backup to my MeriPlat. I only bought the Platinum to be able to load maps (Was a great price too!). Quote Link to comment
Timinator Posted May 19, 2006 Author Share Posted May 19, 2006 It will work, but don't go paying more than $50 for it. Well, from what I'm seeing on eBay, these are going for around $60, plus shipping. If you know of a cheaper source then feel free to let me know. Thx. Quote Link to comment
