The Global Positioning System
by Magellan


The Global Positioning System, or GPS, is a constellation of U.S. Government satellites providing the most advanced and accurate positioning and navigation service the world has ever known. Equipped with atomic clocks, twenty-four GPS satellites orbit 12,000 miles above the Earth, constantly transmitting the precise time and their position in space. Magellan’s GPS receivers listen to these satellite signals and use the information to determine the location of the receiver, as well as how fast and in what direction it is moving.


Magellan GPS receivers track up to 12 satellites at the same time (an exclusive feature which helps the receiver stay locked on the satellite signals and maintain a position fix even in harsh environments). Now - no matter where in the world they may be - hikers, hunters, backpackers, fisherman and other outdoor enthusiasts can use a Magellan GPS receiver to find out exactly where they are and how to get where they want to go, any time, in any kind of weather.

X” marks the spot!

Every point of Earth can be identified by a specific address. That address is shown as two sets of numbers which represent the precise spot where a horizontal line of latitude crosses a vertical line of longitude. When a GPS receiver reports and records your position, it is showing your latitude/longitude coordinate location on Earth. Now you can save your favorite fishing spot, mark trails, record where you left your truck, where home base is, or the mother load of gold you just discovered in the frozen tundra. As you stand their in the middle of unmarked wilderness, or three months later, or when ever you want, you can find your way back to whatever location you have recorded!

In fog, snow or darkness, anywhere in the world, any time of day, Magellan GPS gives you the freedom to explore the Great Outdoors with confidence.
