A different perspective vs MOTOACTV.
By Trizzor
So I read the review regarding the Switch Up vs the MOTOACTV, and I must say that I strongly disagree. Its difficult to compare these two devices based on their features.A brief background:My first fitness GPS was/is a Forerunner 305 which served me well, albeit the battery is finally dead after years of use.My second fitness GPS was the MOTOACTV. It lasted 4 months - Luckily I purchased it from REI and they returned it, after Motorola would not replace it. (They cited sweat damage)My third and current GPS is the Magellan Switch Up. I wanted to try Magellan this time, as I had tried Garmin and Motorola in the past. I also chose the "Up" version for the vibration alerts and temperature monitoring.The following is for information purposes and not an actual review. The Pro's and Con's listed will be features or problems that the other does NOT have.The MOTOACTV vs the Switch Up.Pro's MOTOACTV:-Bluetooth (wireless headphones for voice feedback or music)-WiFi Syncing to the MOTOACTV Portal (Webpage)-MP3 Player (Will pull NON DRM Protected music from iTunes)-Android (Hackable for advanced users)-Color Screen-Can be used as a watch very easily-Touchscreen-Integration with Android Phones (Text alerts, incoming calls, etc)Pro's Switch Up:-50m Water Proof (Swimming)-Vibration Alerts (Going to slow, just hit 5miles, etc)-Barometric Altimeter-File Export to .FIT .KML or .GPX for your favorite Fitness tracking app-Disk Mode (access your data without using a portal/webpage)-Thermometer-SiRFstarIV GPS Chipset (Current Gen)-Add-on battery pack (Extend your device's life)Con's MOTOACTV:-This is HUGE: On the box and when described on a website "Rain Resistant and Sweat Proof" but in reality and written in the warranty terms: "Defects or damage that result from: ... (b) contact with liquid, water, rain, extreme humidity or heavy perspiration, sand, dirt or the like, extreme heat, or food." I guess its not "Rain Resistant" OR "Sweat Proof". Buyer Be Warned.-Sweat and Rain causes the multitouch to trigger, this can result in unwanted function. (Skipping songs, pausing workouts, etc)-No Replaceable battery-Cannot access data any other way than the website-Uses Gorilla Glass: Can chip and crack (Know anyone with an iPhone or iPod Touch with a cracked screen? Yep, just like that.) Garmin and Magellan devices still use plastic (will only scratch)-Rubber plugs that go into Micro USB and Headphone port can fall out-Touchscreen does not work with gloves on (Winter)-First generation device; support is abysmalCon's Switch Up:-Price. While it has a few killer features that comparable Garmin's do not have, I'm not sure its worth the extra $150. (vs Forerunner 205)-Menus system is incredibly clunky-Single user. It may have multiple Activity Profiles, but only 1 User Profile.-Buttons are spaced very close together. There is lots of "real estate" not being used. Accidental pushes could be prevented-Too large? Based on what the new Nike GPS Watch and MOTOACTV fit into such a small product.-Does not Auto-Save. You must manually save each activity-Black and White screen. Reverse print is nice, but its 2012-First generation product (Magellan is new to the fitness game).I'm very happy with the Switch Up. I feel like I did years ago when I bought my Forerunner 305, a fantastic purchase.Although I had an extremely poor experience with the MOTOACTV, I did purchase it first. Its a great little 'toy'. I just hope those that buy it don't expect it to be as durable as I did.Hopefully this will help someone decide which device is right for them.

I usually use a product for a couple of weeks before I review it, but I used this one hours after I got it and I wanted to post my initial experience and then I'll update it after. I have been using a Fitbit Wireless Activity/Sleep Tracker, Black/Blue since May and I love it. It tells strides and converts those to distance. I'm interested in seeing how it's data correlates with the Switch Up. The Switch Up will also work with a foot pod to tell strides and a bike unit. I may want a foot pod, but there isn't a Magellan brand one, so you have to just pick out an ANT compatible one. I have ordered the Garmin Foot Pod [Retail Packaging]Public Profile to see my run data: active DOT magellangps DOT com SLASH user SLASH 207- First Run: Was weird because it started before the unit updated date and time from the GPS. You can see mile 2 included the loss of signal and makes it look like I ran further than I did and thus faster.- Walk: GPS lock was great. It mapped my walk to the foot, even where I walked back and forth watching a Coyote in the park!- Run 2: GPS took longer to lock before I started. I was next to tall buildings for a while. Went through 2 tunnels, lost signal, but it locked back on within 10 strides of coming out of the tunnel. Route was very accurate.- Bike: Just used it on my wrist and switched to the Bike Activity. It held GPS lock the entire time. Mapped route exactly. Really cool.My Initial Notes:-------------------------------------------------OBSERVATIONS-------------------------------------------------- Charge went from 100% to 85% on first run. Got back to 100% within 15 minutes of being hooked to my PC- Unit Snaps into watch band very securely. It is tough to unsnap but that's fine with me.- Unit is not as large as it looks but it's bigger than a watch. 2 inches by 1.5 and half an inch thick. A little bigger with the watch band. It didn't bother me running at all.- The Switch Up comes with a getting Started booklet, but the online Manual has all the details on how to use the device.- It seems that all the settings have to be made on the unit itself using the four buttons on the "watch". It would be really nice to have a computer font end that adjusted the settings, but that doesn't seem to be the case at the moment.- Each button has 2 or three functions and labels. I didn't see the labels in the black rubber at first like the "X" and Checkmark for the left buttons.- You can edit your display screen. They are mostly defaulted to 3 items per screen. You can bump that from 1 all the way to 6 and then put whatever stat you want in each box. Very noce.-------------------------------------------------UPLOADING DATA-------------------------------------------------- Website is: active DOT magellangps DOT com==> Make sure you are not running the 64bit version of Internet Explorer and that Compatibility View is not on.==> If your unit mounts as a Drive letter when you attach it you can upload your activity data that way. You can use the Upload from Files option, Browse to the drive for the SwitchUp and find your run data in the Activities directory (if you've remembered to hit "Save and Reset"). You do get the option to download GPS data to the unit to increase GPS Lock speed when using the Upload from Device.- You have to install the plugin to upload the FIT data directly/automatically from the unit. It was a bit funky on my Windows 7 Professional 64 bit machine. It didn't want to run the plugin install because it said it was "unsafe" I had to go to other options on that warning screen and say "Run anyway". I had to close the browser then reopen it to get the upload screen. When I ran the install for the msi file, it flashed up and said installing then went away. No other status updates. It did show up in Control Panel in the list of install programs though.- After installing the plugin, I failed to get a screen to allow me to upload from the device. The upload files option fails to use any of the files from the device. I have written to Customer support. I will update this when I get it working.==> It turns out you have to press and hold the left bottom button and select "Save and Reset". Then a new FIT file is created on your device. You can then use the "Upload Files" option and select that file from the "Activities" directory. The website will then show a line under Updates. This can take a while to get imported to your Activities page. Customer service was very helpful.- Home PC Windows 7 Home Premium: Had to download the MSI plugin and save with another extension. Then rename to .MSI right click and install. File was being blocked by Virus Software. "Upload From Device" option then worked! The program recognized that it had already uploaded that run so it didn't upload that data again. When I uploaded the walk I took from home, the upload from device option also had a checkbox to download GPS data to the unit to increase GPS Lock speed when using the Upload from Device for 7 days.-------------------------------------------------Running with the Switch-------------------------------------------------- GPS: I had bought a cheaper unit a year or so that I got from Target on clearance and returned it. It refused to get a GPS lock for longer than a couple of minutes anywhere I ran in Chicago. Today this unit got a lock as soon as I had a decent patch of clear sky. It didn't lock in between tall buildings on the walk to the gym. But once in a little more of clear area it did. It then held the lock really well. I won't know the extent of how good until I can look at the data on their website. It did lose signal in the overpass stairwell. I can see on my run map that it goofed up. That would be where the footpod would help.- Pace: The pace seemed to be right on. I did a 4.75 mile run and had to walk a few times. The pace was on target from what I do on the treadmill, so that was cool.- Heat rate: The unit comes with a chest strap for heat rate. It got a really good connection and my heart rate was right on what I'm used to it being on the treadmill.- There are preset "activities" I just used the Road Run. It automatically reset the lap counter at each mile mark and told me the pace. That was cool. You can adjust these things and add a pacer and this is all setup through the unit itself.- The pace will be a great motivator for me. I love instant feedback and this unit updates the pace every second or so.==> I will update this as soon as I get more information.

Review for bycycle functionality
By Big Dawg
I am reviewing the Magellan Switch Up as a bicycle GPS, as it is being marketed to be a multi-use device, I wanted to see how this device performs as a bicycle GPS. I use a Garmin 800 now, which is pricier than the switch up, however my I like the ability to see data all on one page.Edit: bumping up my review to 4 stars after further use.Manual (thx to Trizzor): [...]Items I like:1. Docking station to charge and transfer data.2. Display is clear even under sunlight.3. Auto start when movement is discovered by GPS (like Garmin)Items I dislike:1. Device is difficult to remove from the watch or bike attachment.2. Not able to upload to Strava, yet.3. Button response is slow.4. As a watch, it's a little bulky (tall).Overall, the Magellan Switch Up is a great dedicated bicycle GPS, this is comparable to the Garmin 500 bike GPS which is $100 cheaper. However if you are a runner and a cyclist, this device is excellent.
