eXplorist 500

Full colour, advanced mapping and PC compatible, for when you are serious about your GPS.




The eXplorist 500 is compatible with Magellan certified DiscoverAus Streets & Tracks Topo mapping on SD card*, which features major and minor roads, streets, tracks, trails, and topographic map contour lines for all of Australia. With the full colour TFT LCD screen making every track, trail, waterway and topo line highly visible.



 

By adding MapSend BlueNav XL3 Oceania marine charts on SD card* you can use your eXplorist 500 as a designated chart plotter, and again clearly view the different coloured regions on the screen.


 

Plus with the included software MapSend Lite V2, you can view maps in 2D or 3D mode, plan routes in advance or view track logs on the big screen of your PC. Available as a free download, you can find out more about MapSend Lite V2 or access the download via the MapSend Lite V2 link.




As well as using advanced mapping, the eXplorist 500 has both internal and expandable SD card memory, providing unlimited storage for waypoints, points of interest and route files. It also uses a li-ion rechargeable battery that you can recharge via 240V wall plug, 12V car cigarette lighter or USB port on your PC.



 

The USB connectivity allows fast data transfer between the PC and GPS for connecting with MapSend Lite V2, transferring points of interest, or downloading Geocache coordinate to the Geocache manager.


 

The eXplorist 500 is water resistant, lightweight, and constructed with impact resistant plastic making it great for the roughest of outdoor activities.  The use of TrueFix technology also ensures a safer adventure, by minimising signal loss and providing maximum accuracy and reliability.





The eXplorist 500 also features area calculation, allowing you to find the distance around or between three or more points of interest.
