I've used this numerous times to find my way around blocked roads and unfamiliar cities. It was a good GPS for it's time, but I'd suggest now to find a newer model, computer interface is pretty clunky and slow with this model if you want to upload more detailed maps to it. Recommendation: Nice GPS, past it's prime, look for something newer if you are buying.
Yes, I agree that the Meridian Platinum is a wonderful GPS. However, I just logged on to the Meridian website and pulled down the latest upgrade to this GPS. The instructions were very clear about using batteries more than half full to complete the upgrade. I inserted new batteries to do the seemingly simple upgrade. The upgrade lasted more than three hours while the instructions said the task would take only a few minutes. During the upgrade, the batteries completely discharged and the unit shut down. The download reported 99% complete for over an hour but would not finish. The unit is now rendered unusable. Megellan has informed me that this unit is not repairable, upgradable or useable at this point. But they are suggesting that I can purchasing a remanufactured GPS to replace my Platinum. These prices are all over the $150 mark and hover closer to $250 for a replacement. I followed the directions to the letter. Their routine to upgrade rendered this GPS unusable now and I have to pay to get a replacement? I have used this GPS for hiking, automobile trips and have a great mount that I purchased for my boat. All this is to be tossed? This company may need to be looked at a little closer when thinking about a GPS purchase. I have another Magellan GPS, the Roadmate 760 that also needs to be updated. Imagine if I lost this unit as well? With no support from Magellan? In the future, I'd have to rethink my decision on selecting a unit from Magellan. I'm not at all happy with the response I received from them. It was their instructions which rendered this perfect GPS, useless. A real shame.
My Magellan Meridian Platinum has somewhere around 50 to 80 hours of use during elk hunting seasons during the last two yesrs. Seemed to be OK unit when it worked.
I took it out this year (Sept 2006) and it didn't work. Changed multiple sets of batters and nothing. Tech support in India is terrible. You explain what you have done, they seem to listen, then they begin asking questions (in poor US English) that starts with stupid questions and covers what you just told them.
Finally after several calls, I find that Magellan has set a $155 repair fee. I cannot express how mad I am at a company that sells a high end GPS and it fails and they abandon any responsibility. If I ran over by a car, I would expect them to charge me. But sitting in my hunting pack in my basement hardly constitues abuse.
I cannot recommend any aspect of Magellan. PS, after lodging a email request, I never got a response.

I travel a lot in relatively tough conditions in a 4X4. Last week I went into Northern Arizona--I figured...what the heck I might as well get a GPS to help me as I will be 70+ miles from the nearest town. Not only did the unit fail to get more than 2 satellites --useless for point recognition--it asked me for the lat and long of where I was!!! What a joke--Magellan sucks! Isn't that what the GPS is supposed to do? tell you where you are and not the other way around? Going to Garmin.

Although this GPS has great functionality, it goes through batteries quickly. I always carry spares. I highly recommend the cigarette lighter adapter.
