Memories

My parents got this for me as a gift in high school. I remember using it here and there but mostly as a way to backup the position of our car when going out on a hike.

Maps weren't built-in (maybe could load via CD and serial cable?) but I remember the accuracy going way up once the U.S. government lowered restrictions on civilian GPS satellite use.

Did you have a GPS 2000? Did you write reviews or interview people about it? Work on this device at Magellan? Share your story to add human context to this device. Thx! :)
