On-board Navigation system
I got an Magellan Explorist XL for Christmas! I also got the vehicle mount and the Topo software!!....It has worked out to be a great unit in my travels. Easy to use and the Topo maps are fun to use to plan trips. I just got off Ebay the 12V Cigarette Power Adapter and a 2gb sd memory card to hold all my maps coming in the mail soon.
The wife got it for a great deal at Gi joes for i think around $270...She a great power shopper if you ask me!!
