The eXplorist 100 packs powerful GPS navigator into a sleek, affordable device. View larger. | The eXplorist 100 features Magellan's TrueFix technology, which takes advantage of 14 parallel channels, supported by WAAS and EGNOS for fast signal acquisition, minimal signal loss, and reliable accuracy to within three meters. This handy GPS unit lets you save up to three track-log files each with up to 2,000 trackpoints, 500 points of interest, and 20 routes to guide you back to your favorite spots or, more importantly, to your car or home, time and time again. With one-button access the eXplorist 100 takes you directly to all of the most important features, so even the first-time user can easily navigate with it. This unit has a four-level grayscale, high-contrast LCD display for easy viewing, and an amber-glow back light that protects your vision so you can see both your eXplorist 100 and the path in front of you. Powered by only two AA batteries (not included), this handheld GPS unit can run for up to 14 hours (without the back light). In addition, the eXplorist 100 boasts an alarm that alerts users when they are within 250 feet of a destination or are 250 feet left or right of their computed track. A truly international traveling companion, the eXplorist 100 is almost certain to speak your language, with settings for English, French, German, Spanish, Italian, Swedish, Finnish, Portuguese, Dutch, and Norwegian. And wherever you happen to be, you can view your speed, direction, distance to destination, and all the GPS information you need on three easy-to-view navigation screens. Ready to go right out of the box, the Magellan eXplorist 100 lets you monitor the GPS satellites in view and get information about their status, and it requires no service fees and no activation fees, so you can feel free to use it all the time. Designed with the user in mind, this Magellan GPS unit weighs a light four ounces with batteries and measures a pocket-sized 2.1 by 1.3 by 4.6 inches (W by D by H). The eXplorist 100 is rugged enough to endure the most trying use, and it provides that most critical of benefits--peace of mind. With the eXplorist 100 you will always know where you are, where you have been, and where you are going. And since you will always know the way back home, you can concentrate on what you set out to do--explore the outdoors.

 One of them died and its a paper holder August 15, 2008
Less than a year ago I bought 8 units for public programing and teach people how to use a GPS.
I have used them twice and on the second program one of them froze while walking on the park. I tried to turn it off but nothing happened. I removed the battery, turn in back on... nothing.
I tried with brand new batteries, the same result. The GPS unit seem to be dead.
I tried to contact Magellan 3 times through their webiste and all the messages bonce back saying that there is a delivery problem with their email.
After 45 minutes waiting on the phone through costumer service they told me that I had to send it back and they will replace it. It is going to be hard to teach people how to use GPS with different units. I was told that they would replace the unit for free. Now I will have missmatching units and afraid that the other 7 will freeze at some point when they are needed for a public program.
This units seem to be ok but the quality is really poor so I would buy something more reliable that the explorist GPS.
Limited use May 18, 2008
I got this last summer to do hunting in the national forest
(texas) and it really is nothing more than a fancy electronic
compass. The trackings and routes are nice, and it has evaluation.
Eats battery like a starved dog.
This was my first GPS .. and it died after light use .. 8 months.
Maybe a dozen weekends. The keyboard buttons barely respond anymore.
It has no abilities to connect to a computer and up/download
map savings either ... The more you use your GPS unit, you will
likely expect that functionality.
Or maybe not !
 Great for starters May 4, 2008
My wife bought thhis model for me on Valentines Day in 2007. What a great gadget! I am a newbie at Geocaching and after a few outings with this GPSR I have become an amateur geocacher. It is easy to use and great for learning the basics of GPS Navigation. It is a wonderful student model, and though it doesn't have fully featured maps, it gives explorers a handy way to mark surroundings, waypoints and paths. The Go To feature is the best for finding caches and it stores planty of waypoints. Great tool!
100 No longer supported by Magellan January 24, 2008

My eXplorist 100 is only 4 months old and is defective. It's been treated very carefully but it will randomly clear the screen, lose the satellites and now is clearing all data... very frustrating.
When I contacted the company, they say it's no longer supported and they won't repair it or honor the warranty (they are offering some sort of trade up, but I can't find out what the offer is yet as they say the phone system is having 'technical difficulties').
So I loved the 100's price and features, but if you buy it, realize that if there is any issue, you are on your own.
Does the job November 10, 2007

I purchased this unit for a hunting trip to northern Wisconsin. It did the job I needed. It quickly and accurately fixed my position and lead me to and from tree stands in the deep woods. I have used it here in Alaska too, and it works just as well here.
