5.0 out of 5 stars Big improvement over the Triton series, very nice GPS for geocaching, April 20, 2011

This review is from: Magellan CX0310SGXNA eXplorist 310 Waterproof Hiking GPS (Electronics)
I bought the Magellan Explorist 310 almost exclusively for geocaching.

For the past two years, I've been using the Magellan Triton 400 for the same purpose. That GPS unit was good in its day, but I wanted something more responsive with more features. After playing around with my new Explorist 310, I'd like to share my initial feelings, as well as some helpful hints for getting the most out of the GPS with the least amount of headaches.

As far as the quality of the GPS, I'd rate it as excellent. When I put in a couple of Rayovac alkaline batteries (the unit ships with two Energizer lithiums and a coupon for $2 off your next purchase of these batteries, I'll save those for another day) and pressed the power button for a couple seconds, the GPS powered right up, almost no wait time. It fits in the hand almost perfectly, and the buttons are easy to press. I initially had a bit of trouble with the toggle button, but figured out that if I wanted to spell... Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars Great outdoor fun, May 1, 2011

This review is from: Magellan CX0310SGXNA eXplorist 310 Waterproof Hiking GPS (Electronics)
Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program ( What's this?)
My family spends a tremendous amount of time outdoors, fishing, hiking, and working on our ranch. I am a distance walker. So I have been looking for a GPS that would help me keep up with miles walked and let me know where I am in the state park where I often walk. So when Amazon Vine offered to let me try out the Magellan eXplorist 310 I thought it might answer my needs.

The eXplorist 310 comes in a box with a Quick Start Guide, and a USB cord for the computer. There is a full manual online. The on/off button is on the top right side and must be held down for 2 seconds. To find this out, you either read the full manual or learn by trial & error. It certainly doesn't tell you in the Quick Start Guide how to turn it on. In fact the Quick Start Guide doesn't tell you much that is helpful.

Once you have it on press the menu key and you will see the different screens that come up. I suggest going to tools first to look at settings. You can put in... Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Huge improvement over older series!, May 9, 2011

This review is from: Magellan CX0310SGXNA eXplorist 310 Waterproof Hiking GPS (Electronics)
Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program ( What's this?)
The Magellan eXplorist 310 is a HUGE improvement over my older Magellan Triton 500 GPS.

This unit comes with:

-The unit
-USB cable
-2 AA batteries (and a $2 coupon for batteries)
-A 30-day Groundspeak Premium Membership (see geocaching dot com slash membership for more info on what that is)
-Quickstart guide (full PDF manual is online)

Connectivity/set-up:

First of all, set-up is much faster than the Triton 500 and there are no connectivity issues whatsoever. Reconnecting to the computer, once again, there don't seem to be any glitches like the Triton had.

Interface:

The user interface is VASTLY superior to the older model, not only in its bright display but also "Ipod"-like menu that is easy to understand, access, and explore.

Build/feel:

The unit weighs much less than the Triton, even with the batteries. But to be honest, the casing on the eXplorist is... Read more
