Guest Dnmeistr Posted November 10, 2001 Share Posted November 10, 2001 My main question is for those that have a 76 what makes this unit so heavy, not that 1 lb is heavy. I have a GPS 12xl would it be worth it for me to upgrade to either one of these units. I purchased a Garmin because Magellan lacked the features and accuracy of Garmin units at the time. Has Magellan kicked it into gear and developed a match for Garmin units, I like the expandability of the Meridian although it is still lacking in the number of routes/waypoints 20/? vs 50/50 for Garmin. Does Magellan use proprietary connectors and can you make your own data/power cables. Thanks from a newbie to the forum. Dnmeistr Quote Link to comment

Guest Dnmeistr Posted November 10, 2001 Share Posted November 10, 2001 I thought that was kind of wierd, Garmin lists in there comparison table 1 lb but list in specifications to be less than 1 lb, 225 g to be specific Dnmeistr Quote Link to comment
