Magellan eXplorist 610

 

The Magellan eXplorist 610 is pretty much Magellan's answer to Garmin's impressive Oregon with the ability to run Ordance Survey mapping wit...

Technically the Magellan will do what you want, but it's heavy, expensive and has an infuriatingly clunky interface that's simply hard work to use. If we were in the market for an OS mapping GPS at this price, we'd be looking at the Garmin Oregon 600...

Magellan eXplorist 610

 

The Magellan eXplorist GC is one of only a handful of paperless, purpose-built geocaching devices on the market and Magellan's first foray into the niche--although not its first off-road handheld GPS device. Boasting a full-color display and a...

The eXplorist GC is a rugged little GPS device that is IPX-7 waterproof. The device is ready to go out of the box, with preloaded geocaches and included batteries. All relevant information about a geocache can be accessed from the eXplorist's...

The device could really benefit from a touch screen. The lack of an internal compass means that heading can only be tracked based on movement.

Magellan eXplorist 610

 

An in-built camera, compass, high-sensitivity sat-nav, topographical maps, geocaching, media playing and tracking makes this off-road navigator more than just a GPS. The Magellan eXplorist 610 is a survival tool for the modern man versing wild.

In-built camera; sturdy, weatherproof construction; easy to use and customise

Bulky build; small screen; high asking price for a GPS navigator

By the end of our testing, the eXplorist 610 was able to handle the gauntlet we put it through. We used it to find several geocaches, and it even survived a brief bout with swamp water. The cost of $449.99 may seem a bit prohibitive at first, but it is...
