The Magellan eXplorist 210
The 210 comes with a cable to transfer maps, waypoints and other data to and from a PC, a capability the eXplorist 200 lacks. The 210 is very similar to the eXplorist 400

Magellan uses a very complex file system. Some may not like it. Still, you have the internal GPS memory plus cards, and the file system makes it easy to find something. If I upload a route where the roads don’t really show on the detail maps, I can put a lot of them in one file, say 200. Now I just find the waypoint file and tell the Magellan explorist 500 http://www.highspeedsat.com/explorist500.htm to make that the active POI (it calls waypoints ‘points of interest’). I really like this, because there is no limit to how many waypoints could be on a card, each neatly filed away. If I don’t want waypoints cluttering the screen, I get rid of any active file of POI’s.
