G'day all
I've tried a couple of times lately to send this message but I don't think it
has worked. My apologies if you have all seen this before.
I need advice on a cheap GPS. The Magellan 300 (Pioneer) is the cheapest around
but seems to lack a few features. Russell Woodford likes his - it does what he
needs and probably what I need also. We've just heard what another thinks of
his (it's in the bin!). The next model up is the Magellan Blazer12. Does
anyone own this model. I know nothing about the Garmins but they seem to be
well regarded. The cheapest is probably right on my price limit.
Last year I borrowed a Magellan 2000 from the Atlas project. It was a beautiful
machine and retails in the BA shop for around $500. I saw one on on the
DickSmith web site last week for $150 (priced to clear). I registered to buy
from them and looked again - but it was gone. What a bargain. Whoever took it
also took the car adapter (also marked down). The (very cheap) carry case is
still available however - if any of you were the lucky buyer.
Back to the point - if anyone has any comments on the Blazer12 I would
appreciate hearing them.
Cheers
Steve
