appears to be like the magellan crossover and for only 250 at bass pro. So maybe a better option.

I also use the magellan explorist 500. Have used it a lot over the past year. I have the mount for the jeep but I use it at work a lot also. Great for finding those addresses that are tough to find. But I needed a handheld unit for geocaching. That provides endless fun throughout the winter months for the family, too busy in the summer but gets us out and about in the snow. Got the street maps as well as the topo program. Thrilled with it. From my research and for my use the only other one I might like to have would be the Garmin 60sx. I believe thats the one. But hey, it's over three times the cost up here so I'm happy with what I have.

I have a Baja 540c. also own a Garmin 60cs. first of all depending how much you use it there is huge differences between Lowrance and the other more consumer built units. the Lowrance is made to get the job done basic and very fast. it zooms topo 5 times faster then my Garmin. thats why you will never see any other brand being used in off road racing. The bad news with Lowrance is you are very limited to software. you can only use Map Create where with Garmin you can use National Geographic Topo which has unbelievable detail. I do love the huge color screen on my 540c. Its also water proof for the most part as it is built is there marine chassis.
