Convenient Crossover Navigation
If you've ever wished for a single unit that could guide you on the drive to the park, on the hike in the park, and up the river to the next park, the 2500T is the GPS system for you. The large, easy-to-read, 3.5-inch diagonal touch-screen is ideal for either showing you the best route to a new restaurant or keeping you on-track during your next outdoor excursion. Simple touch-screen menus make it easy to select virtually any destination and get turn-by-turn voice and visual guidance on the road. Or you can take the 2500T on your next hike, mark waypoints along the way and save the route to go again next weekend. Detailed built-in street maps of North America and light topographic maps of North America help ensure that you'll never get lost again, no matter where your travels take you.

Advanced Auto Navigation
The 2500T gives you the tools you need to make sure your next car trip is as enjoyable and hassle-free as possible. Advanced auto navigation features include multi-destination routing, which is ideal for vacations; SmartDetour to route you around slow freeway traffic; and SayWhere text-to-speech, which tells you both where to turn and the name of the street to turn on. If you miss a turn, or suddenly find yourself stuck in traffic, the 2500T will save you time and stress by automatically recalculating your route. Powerful and reliable, this system runs on a high performance battery that offers up to eight hours of use so you can search points of interest and plan your trip with ease. Once you're on the road, you can take advantage of the optional TrafficKit accessory, which makes it easy to avoid traffic with Real-time incident reports. (Note: subscription required for traffic reports).

Easy Outdoor Routing
Its sleek and rugged design makes the 2500T easy to take with you wherever you go. The included SportsGuard provides added armor to enhance this system's endurance during outdoor use. As you take on new adventures, you can even add detailed regional topographic or marine maps via Secure Digital memory cards. And whether you're traveling in the car or on foot, you can enhance your trip by listening to music and viewing pictures whether you're in the car or on a mountain trail.

Rating: - good buy
works well, used it both hiking and driving. Navigation instructions aren't perfect, but I know some shortcuts the computer doesn't.

Rating: - Poor maps - customer service
Had the unit less than 30 days - have 21 map version - most recent 32 - Magellan wants $80 to update, also outofdate firmware - can't process update on website as indicated, technical support no support at all. . Several addresses and cities are not found in the system that are located on OnStar/TomTom/Garmin systems. Have requested customer service assistance 3 times - still have not heard. Can't return it to the store as over 15 days since purchase.

WOULD NOT BUY AGAIN

Rating: - Promises a lot.
This unit just doesn't live up to all of the promises made in the advertisements. It does do a lot of different things, but nothing well.
I could not get it to lock onto a signal properly and when it did it quickly lost it. Returned it to the dealer with no problem.

Rating: - Very good, except limited data base on points of interest
I bought this unit because I am interested in both automobile navigation and geocaching. I am very happy with this GPS. It is much better than the my previous (Ostia) GPS. The Magellan Crossover GPS works well in automobile navigation routing and re-routing, with good accuracy. The voice directions are accurate and clear with good volume. For geocaching, I have used it successfully to find three new geocaches. The only flaw that I have noticed in the Magellan Crossover GPS is a limited data base on points of interest. For example, for the restaurant data base it appears to list mostly fast food restaurants.

Rating: - No satalite link and no support from Magellan
I purchased a Magellan CrossoverGPS a number of months ago. After not being able to get it to work, I have tried many times to get support from Magellan. I don't think they offer support. I have other Magellan products that work well, but this Crossover is a wreck. I would not recommend the Crossover to my ex-wife if I had an ex. If anyone can suggest how to get support from Magellan, please let me know.

Thank you,
