The eXplorist 100 features Magellan's TrueFix technology, which takes advantage of 14 parallel channels, supported by WAAS and EGNOS for fast signal acquisition, minimal signal loss, and reliable accuracy to within three meters. This handy GPS unit lets you save up to three track-log files each with up to 2,000 trackpoints, 500 points of interest, and 20 routes to guide you back to your favorite spots or, more importantly, to your car or home, time and time again.

With one-button access the eXplorist 100 takes you directly to all of the most important features, so even the first-time user can easily navigate with it. This unit has a four-level grayscale, high-contrast LCD display for easy viewing, and an amber-glow back light that protects your vision so you can see both your eXplorist 100 and the path in front of you. Powered by only two AA batteries (not included), this handheld GPS unit can run for up to 14 hours (without the back light). In addition, the eXplorist 100 boasts an alarm that alerts users when they are within 250 feet of a destination or are 250 feet left or right of their computed track.

A truly international traveling companion, the eXplorist 100 is almost certain to speak your language, with settings for English, French, German, Spanish, Italian, Swedish, Finnish, Portuguese, Dutch, and Norwegian. And wherever you happen to be, you can view your speed, direction, distance to destination, and all the GPS information you need on three easy-to-view navigation screens. Ready to go right out of the box, the Magellan eXplorist 100 lets you monitor the GPS satellites in view and get information about their status, and it requires no service fees and no activation fees, so you can feel free to use it all the time.

Designed with the user in mind, this Magellan GPS unit weighs a light four ounces with batteries and measures a pocket-sized 2.1 by 1.3 by 4.6 inches (W by D by H). The eXplorist 100 is rugged enough to endure the most trying use, and it provides that most critical of benefits--peace of mind. With the eXplorist 100 you will always know where you are, where you have been, and where you are going. And since you will always know the way back home, you can concentrate on what you set out to do--explore the outdoors.
