GPS technology has been improving with advanced developments and is certainly an ideal solution for users who find it difficult to remember directions. Keeping this in mind, Magellan has introduced its eXplorist 610 GPS receiver which comes integrated with Summit Series topographic maps of Canada.
Designed to render unmatched performance, the newest offering enables users to seamlessly search their desired destination using the 1:50,000 scale topographic map of Canada or the World Edition map which offers coverage of over 200 countries. Users can also create waypoints, record tracks, and route from point to point as well as flawlessly download around 10,000 paperless geocache GPX files.
In addition, the device functions efficiently for about 16 hours with the help of two AA batteries. The offering lowers power consumption with the suspend mode. The incorporated 3.2 mega-pixel camera, microphone and speaker help the user record geo-tagged pictures, voice notes and video footage. The eXplorist 610 along with a GPS track log renders an entire geographic and multimedia record of every outdoor adventure. The utility level is uplifted with a sunlight readable touch screen, four corners user interface and convenient hard buttons.
