Magellan TN1710SGLUC TRX7 Off Road Navigator

I love the TRX7. I consider it a must have for off-roading. Especially if you are in an unfamiliar area the addition of the road map gps is great and the ability to have the GPS guide you to the beginning or ending of the trail you want is great. Tracking your time on the trails and then being able to upload your trail to their site with notes and trail difficulty/conditions is great. I never lost signal, even while covered by trees up here in the Pacific North West. The ability to link multiple trials to create your own route through a mountain is wonderful and worked perfectly on my first use of that feature. This feature (so far is only available through website) is good but since it’s still on the beta as of this writing was a little hard to figure out how to use it, but once I got it it was no problem. Downloading and uploading trials is easy and the map is readable on the 7in screen. I would like to try the satellite view on the TRX but the requires a yearly subscription, so I’ll skip it... for now. Eitherway, I highly recommend this TRX if you like going on some off-road adventures and like the security of finding your way around and back to civilization with minimal worry of getting lost.

A little hard to operate and manual isn't much help.

Just got it delivered so haven't had a chance to use it. The minimalist user guide sent with it is useless and the telephone support is useless - tells you to use online support and then gives you a busy signal - even the user's guide tells you that you can call for telephone support. No instructions how to connect the two prong AC plug to the AC charging adapter and after about 15 minutes of trying, I gave up and tried to get customer support but can't find out how to do it. Of course, there are no instructions provided. Also, can't find where I would plug in the USB socket on the device, anyway - there are no matching connections for it that I can find. I may be returning this.

Game changer. Works as advertised. Short battery life as to be expected with any touch screen running full time. Just buy a battery bank if you dont plug in to your vehicle. Your phone sucks outside cell range (ability to zoom in and out on your position gets glitchy). For backcountry travel you need something more reliable. This is the best non cell tower dependent touch screen gps currently avaliable in the summer of 2019.

The navigator has great features. Too many to mention. Best feature is setting a starting point so when you find yourself out in the middle of nowhere you can work your way back.

This was purchased for use in my SxS on trails and in the dunes (Glamis). The unit overall has a good look and feel but doesn't operate the best. Some of the trails are off by quite a bit, the touch screen works so-so, the visibility in the sunlight is difficult to see the screen, the volume can't be heard with a helmet on. For the $400 price tag if I was to do it over again I would spend a little more and just buy a Lowarnce.

Can not download earthview maps anymore. That was one of the key features I wanted.

Doesn’t work properly
