Magellan's Sportrak Map--with its gray monochrome screen and limited data upload--is a little bit old school. But that's not bad. Think of the Sportrak Map as a jeep--rugged exterior, spartan controls (that are easy to access), and all the power you need to get you to any destination, whether it be the rain forests of the Pacific Northwest or the urban jungle.

This Map model resides at the low end of Magellan's Sportrak series, which is geared more toward the outdoorsy type than the business person navigating appointments from the car. The Sportrak Map offers a 2 MB built-in map database of North America, a relatively small 6 MB flash memory for downloading maps and points of interest from your PC, storage for 500 waypoints and 20 routes, and WAAS reception (more on that in a moment).

Our first of the Sportrak Map was that it was much smaller than we imagined from the online images we'd seen. At 2.2 inches wide and 5.6 inches, it's about the same size as our old Nokia 5190, and its 6.1-ounce weight is slightly lighter than that old behemoth. The controls at the bottom of the device are well laid out and easily accessible, whether you're right- or left-handed (though the smaller Enter and Nav buttons could prove challenging if wearing bulky gloves). The 2.2 by 1.4-inch grayscale display was adequate, and definitely geared toward handheld viewing.

The Sportrak Map has 9 information screens, including compass, track details, and satellite status. It also has such useful features as track back (which helps you to retrace your steps to previous waypoints) and a track-to-route saving function. (A track represents your current direction of travel, but it won't be saved to your GPS until it's created as a route.)

As mentioned, the Sportrak Map is a fairly base-level GPS unit, which can be a bit disconcerting for GPS newbies. Though it does have a North American land-mass and waterway database, it does not show much mapping detail (save for major highway systems and points of interest like airports and lakes). Again, the Sportrak Map is best used for hikes, mountain biking treks, and the like. You can easily set it to capture the path you follow (i.e., create a track) with specific markers (waypoints), and then upload this set longitude/latitude data to a PC to record your route. Our first attempt at naming a waypoint, which requires using the thumbpad to navigate to onscreen letters and numbers, took longer than it should, but we devised a system that kept our names short but recognizeable.

In our testing, we had access to a Magellan Mapsend CD-ROM, and were able to download maps to the Sportrak Map. We grabbed a large swath of the Seattle metropolitan area (including detailed city streets) and transferred it easily to the device (the file was a little over 3 MB, or half the available memory). Smaller map selections for multiple hikes and such will definitely fit on the device, though highly detailed topographical maps may not.

As with most new handheld GPS receivers released since the middle of 2003, the Sportrak Map adds WAAS (Wide Area Augmentation Service) reception for a reading of your location that's accurate to about 3 meters. Is it handy? Definitely, for some--but it will be mostly transparent to you under typical use. For others, such as a friend who is plotting specific hikes in the Pacific Northwest for a book, the accuracy WAAS provides will improve the precision of tracks and offer better detail for map illustrations.

The Sportrak Map isn't the most powerful GPS receiver out there. But if you're looking for a navigation device that offers accuracy, transfer of routes and waypoints to a PC, and a modicum of extended features (such as detailed map download), the Sportrak Map might just be your ticket to adventure. --Agen G.N.

Excellent GPS : Magellan SporTrak Map Waterproof Hiking GPS

This is truly an awesome product for the price. In addition to the unit, the package includes the user manual, computer link cable, wrist strap, and batteries. The main manual is easy to follow and is very descriptive. I had the unit up and running in just minutes. After I had initialized the unit, I had had a 3D satellite signal with WAAS within 10 seconds. The unit's reception was very good. The satellite tracking map allows you to see all of the satellites and WAAS stations in your area and the signal strengh. The unit worked well under all of the outdoor situations I tested it, even under large oak trees. I was even able to maintain reception inside my two-story brick and stone house. The unit is easy to use and quick to learn. It is very easy to switch between the screens you want and the included basemap shows major roads and various points of interests across the country such as parks, airports, lakes, rivers, etc. It is very simple to zoom in and out of the map and the unit contains a handy panning feature which lets you view areas around you. Creating waypoints and tracks is also very simple. You can even designate the icon you want to represent each waypoint as well as type in notes about a specific waypoint. The unit can tell you exactly where you are to within three meters and will also tell information about your altitude, speed, heading, eta, distance, sun/moon orientation, backtrack, waypoints, etc. Every time I use it, I discover more features. You can even check the phases of the moon for your area and see when the fish will most likely be biting for anywhere on the planet. The unit is even useful for nightime operation. It has two different backlight intensities, depending on your preference. I spent a long time researching various GPS units and this is by far the best value, especially with the rebate offered by Magellan. I would definetly suggest this product to anyone who needs (or wants) a GPS unit. I can't wait to try out Geocaching!
