"Buy a Garmin"

I just bought a Magellan SporTrak PRO Marine and the MapSend Blue Nav software. I have never been as disappointed in a purchase or subesequent product support in my life. Save yourself a LOT of aggravation and wasted time... buy a Garmin. That's what I'm about to do. I will NEVER buy another product from Magellan.
"Only one map at a time!!!"

I read the older reviews and went ahead and bought the BlueNav CD anyway, in the hope that Magellan would have corrected the shortcomings reported previously. Unfortunately, they did not. The biggest problem is the limitation of one map at a time!!! You can only use one SD card (the one you activate) and can only have one map on it at a time. You can change maps, but need a laptop and a lot of time for this. I'm a kayaker (and don't generally carry a laptop in the boat with me), so this product is totally useless for me in any but the most limited circumstances.
Bad, Magellan!!! Bad!!!!!
"Compatibility is a Nightmare"

The Amazon compatibility block says it works with Sportrak Color but the online Magellan site for getting an unlock code doesn't provide an option other than for SD cards which the Sportrak doesn't use. Go with Garmin. I have run into more weird documentation and support issues with Magellan than I can name.
"Blue Nav Program is a Rip Off"

I own a Magellan Meridian Marine unit. Just found out that you can only get 1 access code per program. I purchased 2 64 meg cards in hopes of downloading more than 1 map per card. Not only can I not down load more than 1 map, I cannot get an access code for additional cards. Lost money all the way around.
Magellan offered me the opportunity to buy the Blue Nav XL charts at $179.00, but low and behold, they come with the same defect of 1 unlock code per program.
I was a believer in Magellan, but switching to Garmin today!
Lost my Color Merridian overboard and had to replace the GPS. When I recieved the new GPS I called Magellan to get a new unlock code so I could load the charts on my replacement GPS. I was informed I would have to purchase a new bluenav CD since they only issue one unlock code with no exceptions. Well my exception is I will never buy another Magellan product Hardware / Software. As for the replacement Color Merridian it is being returned today. In the future I will purchase Garmin.
The map is old and there is no way to update the information annually with published changes. Obtaining an unlock code is an involved process with a long wait for technical support by phone.
