Author Message   Matt (Doc175) Posted on Tuesday, January 21, 2003 - 12:27 pm:    I am interested in purchasing the Magellian Meridian Platnum (SP?) that Chris is selling in the "For Sale" section. It sound like a good deal but I can not find any info other than what the manufacturer says. It will be my first GPS and I have little experience with them. 1. Is it a good 'starter' unit? 2. How does it compare to other makes/models? 3. +/- es for trail/offroad use 4. worth the $200 he wants for it? any insight would be great   Adam Ross (Discodriveradam) Posted on Tuesday, January 21, 2003 - 02:30 pm:    Matt, I own the same system as he is selling. Trust me, it's top of the line; for 200 it's a steal. And "starter" unit? Well, you're talking more like as good as it gets. Electronic 3-axis compass, expandable up to 64 megs, 9 different nav screens--the list goes on and on. Zoom from 1700 miles out to 100 feet, so you can really see those 4x4 trails. There are really no cons to it, except for the fact that it has no external antenna, but that's ok; I can pick up 6 satellites with that thing while I'm a half-mile deep in a cave. It's great. Only advice I have is this: Buy it. Adam Ross
