Magellan SporTrak Color

The new Magellan SporTrak Color is the only handheld GPS to combine a color display and three-axis electronic compass for easier navigation.

The 16-color, high-resolution data display is clear day or night with the 1/8 VGA 240 x 160 pixel display for optimal visibility. The three-axis electronic compass assures accurate orientation in any position, whether running, hiking or standing still, while the WAAS-enabled receiver delivers positioning accuracy within three meters. A built-in barometer helps hikers track weather changes and predict conditions that could make them want to set up camp early.

The Magellan SporTrak Color features 32 MB of memory, with a 9 MB built-in database containing highways, interstates, major roads, waterways, parks, airports and marine navigation aids. With 23 MB of available memory, outdoor enthusiasts can further customize their data by easily downloading additional map detail, 3D topographic data, points of interest and marine charts with the most up-to-date, detailed seamless marine data available — all from the Magellan MapSend family of software products. The full line allows users to navigate with confidence, whether in challenging terrain, backwoods, major metropolitan areas or even offshore.

The SporTrak Color is packaged with a user manual , “Quick Start” guide, PC cable, two AA batteries and a wrist strap. Optional accessories include: swivel mount, bike mount, vehicle mount, carrying case, assorted power and data cables (including a 12V adapter) and Magellan MapSend software. $500. www.thalesnavigation.com
