Take a Hike with New Magellan Handhelds
Posted in: gps, Today's Chili 
The bottom has fallen out of the GPS car-navigation market, which might explain why we’re seeing some innovative handheld options from Magellan. Last week it introduced the iPhone ToughCase, to protect your phone and enhance your GPS reception. Now it’s presenting three new models in its eXplorist line of outdoor handheld GPS devices. The eXplorist 510, 610, and 710 are meant for navigating outdoor destinations, capturing geotagged photos, and sharing your experiences online when you get home.
Each device offers a 3-inch color touch screen, a 3.2 megapixal camera, and a mic and speaker for voice notes. The 710 ($549.99) is meant for either the trail or the road, as it includes maps for both hiking and driving. The 610 lists for $449.99 and the 510 for $349.99. They’ll be available in the fourth quarter of 2010.
