• "Magellan's new RoadMate iPhone app ($100, but on sale for $80) is one of the easiest navigation apps available, and it has the sort of graphics that you usually see on a dash-top GPS unit."

  --The New York Times

• "I'll admit that I have been less than impressed by recent offerings from the GPS maker Magellan. But all is forgiven. Magellan's new RoadMate iPhone app is the easiest to use I've tried, and it has the sort of graphics that you usually see on a dashtop GPS."

  -- The New York Times

• "The RoadMate iPhone app borrows the interface of the RoadMate line of navigation devices. One very cool unsung feature that I found was the ability to specify an extended city area, such as the San Francisco Bay Area or the Atlanta metro area, rather than naming a specific city which helps for rounding up addresses in smaller towns that may blend into a larger city, such as Emeryville outside of Oakland or Smyrna outside of Atlanta. I've never seen this specific feature on another GPS device, but it's quite useful."

• "Final Score 7.5 I would give the RoadMate even higher marks if it weren't for the lack of live traffic updates, limited map scrolling and the $79 price tag, which is an introductory price. Besides those flaws - which may not bother other users ? this is one smart piece of software that outperforms dedicated nav units at twice the price."

• "If flying is not an option for you, you may want to invest in Magellan RoadMate 2010 North America ($79.99) before hitting the road. Sure, it's pricier than most iPhone applications, but what do you expect from a voice-enabled turn-by-turn navigator that will literally guide you all the way home? Magellan is a pioneer in global positioning systems, so you're in good hands. Unlike many similar products, the RoadMate app requires no extra fees or subscription costs after it is downloaded. You'd have to travel around the world and back to find a better deal than that."

• "Think of the Magellan eXplorist as a sort of al fresco hand-held video game that gets users off the couch and into the outdoors for the increasingly popular high-tech treasure hunts."

  --Denver Post

• "As we have experienced with recent Magellan portable navigation devices (PNDs) for car use, the eXplorist GC screens we have seen have modern, appealing graphics that appear to have improved notably over previous units. There are some neat visual treatments, such as a semi-transparent compass that can overlay the included base map-- includes major roads, lakes, parks, and rivers."

  -- Consumer Reports

• "The eXplorist GC is a rugged little GPS device that is IPX-7 waterproof. The device is ready to go out of the box, with preloaded geocaches and included batteries. All relevant information about a geocache can be accessed from the eXplorist's well-organized menu. The color screen has a huge viewing angle and doesn't fade in direct sunlight."

  -- CNET

• "It is dedicated to geocaching, and there?s nothing wrong with that. There are a lot of geocaching fans out there and this would give them 100% paperless geocaching."
