Magellan GPS, the undisputed leader in on- and off-road automotive navigation, has followed the overwhelming success of the TRX7 and TRX7 CS by launching two all-new, smaller, non-ruggedized on- and off-road navigation devices that that feature the exact same technology and pre-loaded trail and map data as the TRX line of products.
The Magellan TR5 and TR7 Automotive GPS Navigators, the most complete enthusiast class, on- and off-road aftermarket navigation solution, utilize Magellan’s easy-to-use TRX software, 2D and 3D terrain view maps, trails, points of interest, and ability to connect via WiFi to Magellan’s comprehensive cloud-connected map website, TRXTrailhead.com. The new non-ruggedized devices are specifically designed for enclosed off-road vehicles with interiors that are protected from the elements.
The TR5 features a 5-inch HD touch screen and the TR7 boasts a more expansive, 7-inch HD touch screen which are both designed for exceptional clarity in bright sunlight and nighttime conditions.
