Magellan, established in 1986, is a company
specializing in GPS products.  It is a direct
competitor of
Garmin, another GPS company.  
Where does the difference lie between
Garmin GPS
products and
Magellan GPS products?  It mainly
lies in the number of GPS products produced.  
Garmin has GPS products available for all types of
consumers including mariners and pilots, while

Magellan GPS
products are designed for the
average person.  This means that Magellan GPS
tend to be a simpler, more affordable choice for
everyday navigational needs.  This article will
discuss the different
Magellan GPS brands
available for purchase.

The first
Magellan GPS brand to be discussed is
one designed for vehicle navigation: the
Magellan
Maestro.  Among the Magellan Maestro are: the
3100, (which costs $299.99), the 3140, (which costs
$399.99), the 4000 (which costs $399.99), the 4040,
(which costs $499.99) and the 4050, (which costs
$699.99).  The least expensive Magellan Maestro
model, the 3100, does not offer voiced directions,
while the more expensive models do.  The most
expensive Magellan Maestro model, the 4050, offers
voice-activated controlling, traffic information and
voiced turn-by-turn directions.  The mid-priced
Maestro models, (which are the 3140, the 4000 and
the 4040), only offer voiced street names.  All of the
Maestro models except the 3100 offer Bluetooth
calling.  

The second
Magellan GPS brand is also designed
for vehicle navigation: the Magellan Roadmate.  
Unfortunately, the only Magellan Roadmate
available for sale on Magellan’s website is the
2200T, which costs $399.99.  This model is
designed for both outdoor use and vehicle
navigation.  It is waterproof, offers turn-by-turn
directions and it can easily fit in one’s pocket.  If
one is interested in the other Magellan Roadmate
brands, (which would include the 2000, 300, 3000T,
3050, 360, 6000T, 700, 800 and 860T), they will have
to find them through an alternative dealer.  

The third
Magellan GPS brand is the Magellan
CrossoverGPS, designed for navigation on water
and land.  Only one model is available for the
CrossoverGPS, which is the 2500T.  At a price of
$399.99, the 2500T is waterproof, offers voiced turn-
by-turn directions and traffic updates.  

The fourth
Magellan GPS brand is the Triton series,
all of which are handheld navigation systems.  
These are another brand that for one reason or
another are not featured on Magellan’s website.  To
purchase them one will have to go through a
separate dealer.  As far as their features, they offer
colorized maps, touch screens, voice recorders
and, (depending on the unit), an electronic
compass and barometer.

The fifth and final
Magellan GPS brand is the
Explorist series, which are also handheld
navigation systems.  The Explorist models
available for sale on the Magellan website include:
the 100, (priced at $109.99), the 210, (priced at
$149.99), the 200, (priced at $169.99), the 500,
(priced at $199.99), the 600, (priced at $349.99) and
the XL, (priced at $399.99).  The features available
on these models include: colorized screens,
barometers, thermometers, track-plotting and USB
access.
In conclusion, there are all kinds of
Magellan GPS
products available for one’s GPS needs.  For the
car the
Magellan GPS products include the Maestro
and the Roadmate.  For those who want to venture
on land and sea the Magellan GPS product that
would need to be purchased is the CrossoverGPS.  
Finally, for individuals wanting a handheld

Magellan GPS
product, there are the Triton and
Explorist series.  Through a
Magellan GPS product,
people can always know where they need to go.
