 awesome April 9, 2008

I have two friends that have the expedition c. This is why I bought mine. I use it for fishing and hunting. Puts me right on the spot I want to be. I would recommend this unit highly. I have been looking for this unit for a long time, and found the best price on Amazon.com.
 Decent product for the price. October 6, 2008
Nice color display and functionality. Had a hard time with acquiring signal while in central/southern Alaska if not outdoors with fairly decent clear path to sky. Was better in the Skagway and Ketchikan area. Probably could expect this from most devices... In the lower 48, was very good indoors and in the car. Device is pretty decent to use. I hate an annoying popup on powerup that warns not to use for navigation ?! Maybe someone tried to sue them ? Maybe there is a way to turn off, but have not found it yet.
Unfortunately you have to buy the software to build the maps. You have to pick areas, such as US or Canada, etc. SO picked up the US one. Unfortunately, they do not even overlap any into Canada. Would be nice if there was some overlap for those short excursions across the border (when we were in Skagway, AK we went up to Carcross, Yukon, CA).
Software is not that great. Had to install an upgrade just to get it to work w/o crashing/hanging up (on Win XP). Even then, it cannot do large maps at one time. thus you have to make several smaller ones which just takes more time. Will occasionallly lock up anyway. Also, appears to require a special card reader to limit # of MMC/SD cards used. Pretty lame attempt to limit people copying maps for others.
The website is not great either for updates, etc. My device has a newer version than available upgrade on the website !
Overall, maybe worth it considering the price and features compared to others, even with the added cost of software.
