Crossover unit means flexibility, solid build quality and rugged design, water resistant

Can't enter addresses in walking mode, a little sluggish, user interface looks outdated, volume could be louder

Magellan's CrossoverGPS unit is a fair effort, but it's lacking in some areas. If you do your fair share of walking and boating though, this is definitely worth a look.

IPX-4 certified waterproofing. Removable rubber housing for grip and durability. Automatically adjusts color and brightness in response to lighting. Plays MP3s stored on SD cards over speaker. Includes 1.5GB of storage and preloaded topographical maps

At 3.4 x 4.3 inches it’s not quite pocket-sized. Switching menus gets confusing if you’re navigating a mix of terrain. Clumsy media player controls. Live traffic info only available with a subscription

Excellent battery life. Built-in topographical contour maps for continental U.S. IPX-4 waterproofness rating. Text-to-speech conversion.

Marine maps are optional. No vehicle profiles for bicycle/pedestrian modes.

Too bulky for use while walking, Entering destinations in walking mode is hard

The Magellan CrossoverGPS offers navigation for drivers, boaters, and walkers. The unit is also water resistant and comes with a sport guard for protection. The receiver did a great job of tracking our location, and driving directions were accurate.

General performance was sluggish, and the unit was slow to recalculate routes. It's also too big and heavy to carry on long walks or hikes, and you can't enter specific addresses in Outdoor mode.

The Magellan CrossoverGPS is a versatile GPS, offering navigation help to drivers, boaters, and walkers, but it's tripped up by sluggish performance.
