 Magellan's
GPS Companion is a 12-channel global positioning system receiver
that attaches to the Handspring Visor handheld through the
Visor's Springboard expansion port. The GPS Companion provides
GPS navigation information and detailed street maps of the
entire United States. The information transferred is in standard
NMEA 2.1 format and will work with many Palm OS GPS and mapping
software applications.
The Map Companion CD-ROM contains detailed nationwide street map
coverage, divided into over 20,000 county and city files. With
these detailed street maps, the GPS Companion can plot your
location and enable you to navigate nearby roads, intersections,
and selected points of interest.
The CD-ROM also contains NAV Companion software, which provides
you with comprehensive navigation information, including an
analog speedometer, a digital compass, and waypoint and route
management capabilities. The GPS information screens on your
Visor will show your speed, heading, and distance to the next
waypoint.
The GPS Companion is powered by two AAA batteries for up to 10
hours of continuous use. Information from the Map Companion
CD-ROM can be downloaded to the Handspring Visor from either a
Windows or Macintosh platform.
