Does Magellan have a GPS handheld that would work in forest?


I have a Magellan Roadmate 1400 that I use on trips for rental cars. Apparently T.S.A (when we went through security) removed our instruction booklet. Where can we order a new book? Also, we have property in the rain forest of Oregon. Because of the large trees, 200 ft and higher and being close together, we cannot get bearings on our G.P.S. Does Magellan have a hand-held G.P.S. that would work here? I would really appreciate your useful information regarding this. Thanks.

Most of the Magellan hand-helds are great GPS recievers. They are one your best bets for outdoor use, especially for forestry. The Magellan eXplorist series has a fully functional GPS outdoor reciever. It is an excellent first unit and is built for the beginners who need help in navigation within reach while making the most of their hiking expeditions. The Magellan GPS receiver is definitely one of the best bets in areas such as the rain forests of Oregon.

Moreover the screen is quite large with a sufficient base map. You must bear in mind the fact that no GPS reciever can perform well under thick tree covers or steep hilly terrains. Therefore just try to get away from the thick trees and try in the back drop of a clear sky. This should make it easy for the GPS receiver to function properly.GPS recievers are especially designed to function appropriately in the view of clear sky.

If you have lost the booklet you can go to their web site and send them an e mail to procure a new booklet. You can alternatively contact your dealer who may be able to give you a copy of the same.Magellan more than suits all the needs of the forest traveller and is an ideal mate to carry as a hand-held unit.
