    The Magellan eXplorist 200 GPS Receiver has been dependable for me and is a great little GPS device with plenty of features.

    If I were to change two things about the eXplorist 200, it would be the display scale and the ability to load data from a computer. I would have the display be able to close in to about 20 yards per inch on the screen as do similar models in its price range. The eXplorist 200 only scales down to 100 yards per inch. This can sometimes make a big difference when geocaching. I also want my next GPS to be able to connect to my laptop via cable or blue tooth and transmit/receive data. After manually loading a few hundred lat and long positions, the extra expense would be worth it.

    If these issues are a concern, I would go with one of the higher-level eXplorists by Magellan. Other than that, the eXplorist 200 is a great model and very rugged and dependable. Its there when you need it and the B+W graphics are easy on the eyes and intuitive to understand. The joystick control becomes 2nd nature in no time.

    Also, my eXplorist 200 was able to pick up a signal roaming through the woods many times when my buddy's slightly less-expensive GPS device would not.

    The Magellan eXplorist 200 is the 2nd-lowest model in the Magellan family of GPS receivers. The following is a brief guide to the features found on the eXplorist 200 and how they compare to other models:

    eXplorist 100 - basic navigation, 20 routes, 500 waypoints
    eXplorist 200 - 100 series + North American Highway Map (Unit Reviewed)
    eXplorist 300 - 200 series + Electronic Compass (2-axis), Barameter, Altimeter & Thermometer
    eXplorist 210 - 200 series + PC Interface, 22MB Memory
    eXplorist 400 - 210 series + Rechargable battery, SD Card Slot, Loadable Maps
    eXplorist 500 - 400 series + Color Display
    eXplorist 600 - 500 series + Electronic Compass (3-axis), Barameter, Altimeter & Thermometer

    The eXplorist 200 is great for the casual hiker, biker, geocacher, boater or travelor. The slight cost difference between the model 100 and 200 is worth it for the convenience and potential life-saving value of the main highway maps. If you ever got lost in the woods the eXplorist 200 would allow you to easily navigate to a main road.

    Positives

    + Rugged Design is both impact and water resistant
    + Great Accuracy
    + Good Value
    + Clear Bright Monochrome Display with Backlight

    Negatives

    - Menu Control / Buttons semi-intuitive
    - Lanyard Attachment Point too Small

    Overall the eXplorist 200 respresents a Good Value in a basic handheld GPS. Casual users will find it adequate for most uses and a good addition to any outdoor or automobile safety kit.
