Magellan Gps

Like the famous explorer of the same name, Magellan GPS receivers and navigation systems promise to help you explore new territory. Magellan is a consumer line from Thales Navigation, a leader in the consumer, outdoor and automotive GPS markets. From handheld to vehicle systems, Magellan products offer consumers plenty of options in GPS technology.

The Magellan RoadMate is an automotive GPS system that can be easily added to any vehicle. The RoadMate is a GPS device that features turn-by-turn, voice-prompted directions and charges no access fees for use. The RoadMate is available in eight different models that include either North American or European maps. The North American maps cover the entire US mainland and include Hawaii, Puerto Rico, and Canada. The European maps include 27 pre-loaded countries.

This GPS device comes ready to use out of the box, complete with up to 20 GB of hard drive space for maps and nearly seven million points of interest (POIs). With an integrated GPS system and location tracker, the RoadMate can use your current location to find nearby gas stations when you're low on fuel. In addition, the voice guidance feature speaks your directions to help you keep you eyes on the road.

This Magellan GPS receiver features SmartDetour technology to guide you out of stopped freeway traffic. Touch-screen technology and detailed maps, locations, and scenic routes make the RoadMate GPS receiver relatively user-friendly. Costs for a RoadMate fluctuate a great deal, depending on the model you choose
