excaliburn's Full Review: Magellan Meridian Platinum Handheld GPS Receiver
It seems like every place I look at the reviews of the Magellan unit, there's some very unknowledgeable person saying, "It's awful! I didn't know that routing didn't mean that it wouldn't do all my point-to-point routing at street level and correct the route as I drive."
Look, guys, did you REALLY think that a $300 (lowest price) would do that? I'm not aware of ANY GPS in that price range that has all the features of this unit and that works half as well.
Do you hike a lot? Do you paddle? How about being able to take along over 140 MB of built-in mapping...more than enough to have complete topo maps AND all POIs, including navigational and marine data? Try that with a Garmin or any other unit near the price of the Magellan.
This is definitely the one you want. Just compare the screen resolution to some other units.
BTW, you CAN route your trip at street-level on a separate third-party application and load it to your GPS, but you can't have it automatically update as you follow it.
