Rating  - good, but some faults
Loved my 330, but the orignal one died after just over a year of use. Had to send it back to Magellan/Thales to have them replace it. Cost me seventy bucks ($70), which was a bit annoying. However, to Mag/Thales credit, when they returned it, they included a bunch of accessories, which was really nice. I guess they had just debuted their new line of Meridian units and had a wharehouse full of old stock to unload. Whatever...I'll take it!
The reception of the Magellan 315/330 is much better than my old Garmin eTrex.
Rating  - Wow, There I Am...
Is really cool to use on an airplane. 45,000 feet at 520mph over Milwakee, WI!! It is hard to get a fix when surrounded by Large buildings in downtown metro areas. On the open road its great. I like being able to leave the major highways to see some little apple shop or what ever not being worried about finding my way back. This device leaves a bread trail as you travel so you can just turn around and follow it back to the highway, pretty cool. I would highly recommend this unit to anyone who is uncomfortable with being lost, but wants to venture out a little bit.
Rating - Accurate and easy to use
This is a really nice product. I bought this about 8 months ago (summer 2001) so that I could start geocaching with a friend. I didn't know anything about GPS units and didn't really research it, but I had heard of Magellan. I've used it a number of times, and the accuracy is better than the Etrex Vista that my friend uses. The menu system is easy to understand and the control buttons are logical. Basic functions are easy to reach and use with just a quick review of the handy manual included. Battery usage is more than I expected and I would like a display more like the Etrex. Map data resolution isn't really suitable for road navigation for anything less than major highways and streets, but you can buy a software application to load more detailed maps if needed.
