Magellan Meridian Platinum is the ultimate GPS receiver for the serious navigator, featuring a 3-axis electronic compass that provides rock steady readings regardless of how you hold the unit.

A built-in barometer gives you advance notice on the weather, and an extensive, 16 MB, built-in mapping database shows your position to within 3 meters or better. Rugged, weather-proof design, large display, intuitive operation and nearly unlimited expandability make the Meridian Platinum an incomparable GPS receiver.

The Meridian Platinum gives you all the great advantages of GPS in a full set of features:

Accurate
Meridian Platinum finds your location by tracking up to 12 GPS satellites simultaneously. Assisted by the U.S. Wide Area Augmentation System (WAAS), Meridian Platinum is accurate to within 3 meters or better.

Easy to use
An intuitive interface and large keyboard provides direct access to key features, putting the power of GPS at your fingertips.

Built-in mapping of North America and unlimited expandability
Start navigating right away with the extensive, 16 MB, built-in mapping database of North American, including interstates, highways, major roads, waterways, city locations, airports and more. Increase your mapping detail by downloading street-level maps on an optional Magellan SD memory card.

3-Axis electronic compass
The incomparable 3-axis electronic compass points you in the right direction regardless of how you hold the unit.

Barometer
Like carrying your own little weather station, there’s no need to worry about what might be rolling in.

Full Featured Navigation

Choose from 12 built-in coordinate systems and 76 datums including Latitude/Longitude, Universal Transverse Mercator, and Military Grid Reference System.

Store routes and track-points
Store up to 20 routes, 500 waypoints and 2,000 track-points to easily find your way back again and again.
