Thanks Magellan

[+rusty_da_dog]

Just wanted to say THANKS to Magellan, and encourage ANYONE looking for a GPS to buy a Magellan product. Recently on a trip geocaching, I dropped my Meridian Platinum. It went crazy, and so I called Magellan, and sent it in to be repaired. I sent it in last Friday, and received it back today. Not only is it fixed, they sent me a Vehicle mounting bracket back with my repaired GPSr. All in all it cost me the price of shipping and insurance.

 

THANKS MAGELLAN!!!!!

I promise I won't drop it again!!!

Well if you got the mount from just dropping it, what would you get if you threw it?

 

Wanna find out?

 

Let me know how it turned out.

Just goes to show how wimpy magellans are, I couldn't tell you how many times I've dropped my garmin, and I mean hard, like holding it out the window to get a quicker sat. lock while your driving hard. And shes working as good as the day I got her. Nah just kidding But I'm sure Garmin would do the same or better.

 

Over many hours of complex, deep thought processes I have finally reached the decision that Garmins and Magellans are not really that different, but I'll still never buy a Magellan

Thats cool, to each his own I guess, I have always preferred Magellan. Its what I started with and its what I will continue to use. As for dropping it, I didn't drop it out in the woods, it was on concrete as I was trying to change the batteries while pumping gas. I guess its true I can't do two things at once

Geez, were you smoking a cigarette too???? That sounds awful dangerous!

 

Here in Canada they freak out if you answer your cell phone while pumping gas, nevermind changing batteries in your GPS.

 

Sounds like Magellan treated you well, good to hear. I will stick with my Garmins, they treat me well also.

 

I think of it like same sex marriage. It may be alright for some people, and to each their own, but for me I prefer to stick to what I believe in, good old american technology, and marrying the opposite sex.

My MeriPlat bounced off the top of my jeep at 25-30 MPH and bounced onto a downhill road, and only received a scuff on the armor. You can't call that wimpy. Aside from the button backlight going out sometime late last year, this unit has been top notch.
