Anybody here own an eXplorist 500?

I recently received a Magellan eXplorist 500 GPS as a gift. My problem is:

I checked with the Magellan technical line, but I'm less than sure of the advice, so I thought I would come here and ask my W&S brethren. Anybody know?

There is a review at http://www.gpsinformation.net/waas/Mag3-D/eXplorist.html that states "The connecting cable is reversible where it mounts to the back of the GPS. It should be connected with the cable running down the length of the explorist. "

Page 12 of the manual that can be downloaded from http://www.magellangps.com/assets/manuals/eXplorist_500_en.pdf shows the illustration below:

Take a spare compass

DaleW,

Thank you very much for your help.

BTW, being an geezer, I don't trust electronic stuff , so you can be sure there is a compass somewhere.

You, like the bumper sticker says, "if it has batteries or tits, you're going to have problems with it sooner or later!" Dairy farming must be tough!
