The Magellan Maestro

The Magellan Maestro is a thin device that features touch-screen graphics, which makes it easier to access the information you need. In order to get directions, you only need to enter an address or you can select from the numerous points of interest that have been pre-programmed into the device. You can also choose to see where you are currently located and to view your route in either 2-D or 3-D, or you can simply let the voice guide provide you with turn-by-turn directions.

The Magellan Crossover GPS
The CrossoverGPS is another handheld Magellan GPS device, but it is also a vehicle GPS system at the same time! The CrossoverGPS is the first fully-featured crossover GPS system, which allows it to provide auto navigation or to be carried with you on a hike or anywhere else that you go. This pocket-sized device is great for driving on the open road or for carrying with you while you are biking, fishing, hiking or doing anything else in the great outdoors.

Accessorizing and Expanding
In addition to the many different Magellan GPS units you have to select from, the company also offers many ways to expand and accessorize your device. For example, you can quickly and easily update your maps by visiting the company website or you can even upgrade your maps if you desire. Available updates include detailed topographic maps and marine cartography. Accessories, on the other hand, include everything from car kits for handheld devices to carrying cases, windshield mounts and cables for your device.
