Hope you can update your GPS...

Unless you are an iDevice user. Apple refuses to add external storage support.

Another good reason not to buy their products, IMO.

Why would they add it? Customers seem excited to pay a premium for storage on their devices.

Other than that issue, I actually prefer Apple over Android for daily use.

YMMV.

Not to start a peeing war, but I really don't get it. Apple keeps removing features from their products and increasing the prices. I don't understand how this is a business model getting so much support. No headphone jack and no expandable storage are just absolute deal killers for me. Non-removable battery is ALMOST in that arena too.

Guess the features, the interface, and the “it just works” model overcomes your legit beefs to the masses.

I like Ike androids too for different reasons. But when comparing the two my android has many more problems. (Crashes, lockups battery life, etc. )

Thanks for the link. It is on my wish list now.

If my old one doesn't get smoked I will stay with it. But now I have a choice.

Well, that's the one I bought.
Check out the different models and their features.
I picked that one because it had what I wanted.

Bumpity!

I remembered this thread and wanted to see if Magellan had any updates for my old eXplorist GC. I think I bought it back in 2011. Tada! There's a firmware update dated June 2018. I hope it addresses this time rollover problem.

Problem is it has me looking at a newer handheld. I've never been a big fan of my GC. It's kind of a Geocaching only style of device. Fun but my family just won't go geocache with me ever.

This is the model I'm looking at for a replacement. GREAT price too! GPS plus GLONASS means it's a bit more obsolete proof.
[edit] oh what the hell. I need something newer to hike AK with in a few weeks anyway. Ordered the Garmin below.
