As far as i know, there is no or no active distributor for Magellan in U.K.

With release of the new eXplorist x10-line (510, 610, only for u.s. 710) distribution will be done by MIO for Europe. (www.mio.com)

 

So some retailers (maybe big ones too) will list Magellans again as available from them.

 

There are some little differences between a european eXplorist GC and a american one. But if you get one from the U.S. (eBay f.ex.), you need to pay taxes for, but because of the weak Dollar, you still save some money.

If you look for a online shop in germany, that sell one to you, you get a valid warranty, cause Magellan only gives service fur U.S.-units, if the customer lives in the U.S. too. So for europe, germany is one option, maybe france too.

All units contain a basemap for U.S. and europe, so from where ever you get it, its both the same.

End of october Magellan start selling the new eXplorists. Maybe they will advertise more in the UK and for the GC too?

Just got my magellan and i actually thought it connected to the geo site?? anyway after having to delete all the pre loaded caches ive just sat and downloaded caches in my location , took me a while but time will tell.

Any tips on using my new magellan for better performance of it???

Turn off the smart arrow, radius alarms, and track log.. All seem to really drag down the performance of the unit, especially the smart arrow. Hold the unit upright toward the sky instead of flat across your palm really helps with reception.
