 Nice to have roads on your GPS January 12, 2007
This program is easy and works pretty good. Could be better with some better waypoint features.
 I find that it works. January 3, 2007
In reading the other reviews it appears that most folks are having a problem with the MapSend software. I use V4.0 with my Meridian Color and while I find the track vs. road display could be improved, actual location of map generated waypoints to actual destinations is within about 50 to 100 ft. I've tried this at some 12 different and very specific road intersections where there could be no error in the location. Using the Lat/Lon numbers generated by the map, the GPS came within 0.008 of a degree. This equates to an error of some 100 ft or less. I find that the actual width of the road can contribute this amount of error.
The product is old and has been discontinued by the company. It was inexpensive but does work. I'm just not sure what others had expected.

My daughter bought a Magellan GPSr. The hardware's features were great! Since I own a Garmin V, I thought she might have out-skunked the old man. That was right up until we tried to find map software for this GPS. (The base map is ok if you like traveling interstate routes without street detail for cities.) So, what good is a GPS without map software? Generally USELESS! We bought MAPSEND Streets & Destinations USA. Thank the lord I only spend $39.00 on it. Good for the seller, bad for me. I should have recognize the clues when there was NOT a "Streets & Destinations USA" version for sale on the Magellan home page. (hint, hint, hint)
I HAVE VERSION V4.00F. THE MAPS ARE SO OUT OF DATE THEY CAN ONLY BE USED FOR BASIC STREET NAVIGATION. MANY POIs DON'T EXIST ANYMORE AND IN SOME CASES THE ACCURACY IS SO BAD STREET CROSSROADS ARE OFF BY HUNDREDS OF FEET.
Do not waste your money on Magellan products unless they get their mapping software FIXED and stop ripping off their customers.

"Wow. I am utterly amazed that your corporate headquarters isn't a squatter camp in lower Bangladesh, although I'm sure it will soon be.
Only a nest of leper-rotting unskilled nomadic vagrants could produce software of such putrid quality. I cannot -- absolutely cannot-- believe that I was suckered into buying such an absolute pile of curdled feces.
"Description of the Issue": I'm sure that somewhere in reams of paper used to snort up the vast trails of cocaine your senior management must have blown all the QA budget on, there was something called a 'Spec'. And I'm reasonably sure that in that 'Spec' was a requirement for your software to "work". Now, being as all of you illiterate scabrous hobos haven't been able to "work" before -- what with all the stumps and scabs and all -- it's no suprise to me that your software doesn't do that "work" thing very well.
I can understand your choice of Serial Port as the communication method of choice, considering that 1984's technology is the tech du jour in the Bangladeshi Bayou. However, you could (just a suggestion) ensure that your maggot-ridden software really does work with said high-technological Com Port goodness, instead of repeatedly showing a "busy" status.
Thank goodness you outsourced your documentation to your semi-literate Chinese cousins. Based on the cleverly-crafted yet completely incomprehensible mash of troubleshooting instructions, I now know that Palm's HotSync software "regurgitated the leapt kitten laterally dynamic." I'll bet your last three CEOs got a big laugh out of that one, before they fled the country with their trophy brides.
Since you guys can't make any money by selling a decent, working product, you have to wait for slimeballs like Best Buy to sell it for you, where hapless customers can't get a refund even after sacrificing their firstborn to the General Manager. Since I made the mistake of supporting your near-criminal activities, I'll pay penance by setting this hellspawned ware on fire in my back yard.
I hope to be reading about your demise on F*dCompany soon.
Love, Unxmaal."
Bad buy - too inaccurate to be useful September 4, 2003

If you're looking for street level point-to-point navigation, look elsewhere. Not quite useless, but nearly so. Locations on uploaded regions are up to two-tenths of a mile off kilter. The best it will do is get you to the general area so you can then use the map image like a paper road map. It will not get you door-to-door. If you're in moutain back country, could be life-and-death serious!
The folks at Thales (pronounced "tallus")/Magellan say they are well aware of the inaccuracy and are trying to find a more reliable data supplier. I'd wait!
