Magellan manufactures GPS units for your car or for your outdoor adventure. Vehicle navigation systems come with a mounting device and can be attached to either your windshield or your dashboard. Handheld units are primarily for use outside an urban area, such as while hiking, fishing, camping, hunting, mountain climbing or any number of recreational activities. Most handheld units can provide basic guidance during the drive, but do not have detailed road maps. Magellan vehicle GPS units, the Maestro and RoadMate lines, use a color touch screen with soft key control. The handheld units don't have touch screens and use physical buttons for scrolling and selecting items in on-screen menus.
