Hunting season is here and heading to the great outdoors shouldn’t mean wandering aimless in the woods. To help hunters on their way Magellan has released the eXplorist Hunter GPS Edition with TRAX Hunting maps by Kirsch’s Outdoor Products – and is available for both eXplorist 310 and 510 rugged waterproof handheld GPS receivers. Each unit comes with the user’s choice of one U.S. state from the TRAX hunting maps.
The Magellan eXplorist 310 Hunter Edition includes a lightweight Magellan eXplorist 310 outdoor handheld GPS with a 2.2-inch color screen, rich graphics and a simple user interface. The Magellan eXplorist 510 Hunter Edition features a three-inch WQVGA transflective touch screen offering a high-contrast daylight-readable display, along with a built-in 3.2 megapixel camera for geotagged photos and recording videos, plus a microphone and speaker for voice notes while out in the wilds – after all who needs to bring a notebook hunting!
TRAX maps provide real-time mapping data for hunting and other outdoor activities, including BLM, PLOTS and topographic data. The maps are also available to owners of eXplorist 310, 510, 610 and 710 GPS devices.
The Magellan eXplorist Hunter Editions are available now from for $329.99 (eXplorist 510 Hunter Edition) and $229.99 (eXplorist 310 Hunter Edition).

We’ve seen Magellan really go the distance this year with its eXplorist GPS receivers. These are rugged, waterproof and of course handheld. The fishing based ones cast off earlier this summer and now Magellan has said to take a hike.
We reported about the Magellan Fishing Hot Spots Pro, a comprehensive suite of approximately 4,000 U.S. lakes with detailed shorelines and depth contours. Now Magellan have announced its Angler Editions for Total Fishing Solution last month, including the new Magellan eXplorist 510 Pro Angler Edition.
