Magellan (average consumer Magellan that is) has also made their way into the software market and puts out Navigation software for the iPhone and it doesn’t look all that bad.

One thing I do like about their software are the 3D landmarks, which are really cool and really help you find your way without having to look too hard at street signs as you’re driving by them. So the 3D landmarks are great - when they’re available.

I like the address book integration in the Magellan iPhone GPS software too. This allows you to easily enter info into your iPhone address book and then quickly access it through your GPS software later on when you need it without the need to enter it again.

The Highway Lane Assist and Find Your Car are pretty good too even if you don’t really need them.

For those of us that use our devices for real multitasking, there’s even Music Control built into the Magellan iPhone GPS software too.

You can find Magellan’s GPS software, Magellan RoadMate in the iPhone store.

Alright Magellan, this is getting better, but I still haven’t forgiven you for the Pro GPS stuff you pulled on me so you’re going to have to keep moving and improving. When it comes to your electronic devices Magellan - can you please come up with something that’s actually innovative as well, instead of just the same as everybody else has!

The Triton isn’t just showing off a tough exterior - it really is built with rubber armoring, impact resistant plastic and a water resistant seal so you won’t have to worry when you take this electronic device outside where it’s actually supposed to be used.

The Triton has a “becoming standard equipment on all electronic devices” 2.5″ touch screen, uses SD Card storage and the famous SiRF Star III GPS chip. Even though it’s doubtable you’ll ever have 20 satellites available to you the SiRF Star III GPS chip boasts 20 channels with WAAS/EGNOS real-time correction.

We like the fact that Magellan decided to give this GPS a 2MP digital camera - now we’re getting somewhere but here’s where Magellan really screwed themselves. This built in digital camera does NOT allow you to geo-tag your photos.

Talk about a failure on the digital camera part - Sorry Magellan you’re STILL way behind.
