Magellan GPS – Your Personal Travel Guide

The GPS is a constellation of 24 U.S. military satellites that provides immediate, advanced and precise “positioning service” in the world. There satellites orbit around 11,000 miles above Earth, making it possible to transmit the most accurate time and position from space back to earth.

Magellan GPS receivers work by listening to the satellite signals and using the data to determine the receiver’s position and in what direction he or she is moving. An impressive feature of Magellan GPS receivers is that it could track up to twelve satellites simultaneously. Meaning, a person with a Magellan GPS receiver could stay locked on these signals, no matter where he or she is located.

Because of its technological advancement, Magellan GPS receivers can assist anglers, hikers, trekkers, travelers and other outdoor enthusiasts and determine exactly where they are and give directions to the place they want to go, any time, even in harsh environments.

Understanding How Magellan GPS receivers work

Each spot on Earth is identified by a particular address, shown in two coordinates (or set of numbers) that represents the latitude and longitude. When a Magellan GPS receiver determines your position, it will report your longitude-latitude location on earth making it easy to record the best camping or fishing spot your discovered, saving data on where you left your broken down vehicle, or saving the location of a certain place you wish.

It doesn’t only determine your location, a Magellan GPS receiver also guides you to where you need to go. The Magellan GPS receiver can be the best travel guide since it could accurately show you all the data you need to know in order to reach a particular spot. The place can even be a strange place you have not been before.

A Magellan GPS receiver is very user-friendly. Even if you don’t understand how longitude and latitude is calculated, the Magellan GPS system provides directional arrows for easy use. All you need to do is follow where the arrows are leading and as simple as that, you are now on your way to your desired place.

Magellan GPS handhelds are available for daytime or night use. With its backlit display, you can never be lost again, even in dark caves, between fogs, snowy mountains, or while exploring at night.

Depending on your needs, Magellan GPS receivers are available as Roadmates and eXplorist units. Both can be great travel companions, giving you freedom in exploring outdoors without fear of being lost.
