You will be sorry if you buy any Magellan product
All, google the internet. "Magellan GPS" Complaint

You will find this company has terrible customer service. The product may work when you get it but if you ever need assistance forget it. Also Maps never seem to get updated.

Take the risk if you like. .... Read more

uses all those US taxpayer satellites.....for pennies!
I too use this unit for VFR air navigation....manually entering lat/long from current AFDs, Flight Guides, airnav.com, or landings.com
It works perfectly.
When bearing and heading are identical--inevitably, when it says you are 30 miles or less from the airport, you can make it out on the nose.....amazing!
WAY easier to use than the Garmin Etrex.
I bought a second one as back-up...kind of a pilot thing. I run the primary one on the Magellan 12v lighter socket adapter. .... Read more

Good...but getting an initial lock is tough.
This thing works fairly well. I got it for free from a car dealer promotion, so really can't complain.

When the blazer 12 is used in conjunction with a map its performance has been flawless for me. However, it can be used without a map if all you are doing is marking and traviling to and from known locations. The accuracy seems to be as close to dead on as a gps can get.

This is a great pro .... Read more

Great for the price
The Blazer 12 is a user-friendly and ergonomically efficient tool for basic tracking and location information. The altitude feature is also great if you are calibrating weather equipment. Sure, you can spend $50 more and get more bells and whistles, but this unit offers all the essential information you need for basic urban and rural expeditions. I will have to admit I am fairly good at direction anyway, but this model helps verify where I think I am. Like any other gadget used for the n .... Read more
