Why Mapsend DirectRoute?
So far in the industry, there have been two main classes of consumer GPS receivers: those meant for auto travel that will give turn-by-turn driving directions (called autorouting) and those meant for handheld use. So far in the industry, Garmin has had great success with the GPS V model which is a handheld that also autoroutes. In November of 2003, Magellan stood that model on end. With DirectRoute and a qualifying Magellan GPS that you may have purchased even two years ago, you can now have autorouting on the hardware you already have – even though when you purchased it, no promise of autorouting was made. This is the first time that such an upgrade has been made to units already in the field and represents a tremendous value.
