Disclaimer
This review is my own personal opinion of the Magellan 710, 610 and 510 based on using a 710 for
geocaching. Any errors or omissions are my own. You should use this review only as a guide to
buying a Magellan 710, 610 and 510 GPS and not as a definitive reference document of the features
and how they work. I accept no responsibility for any information in the review which turns out to be
wrong or misleading.
