A Full Featured GPS Receiver
The Magellan GOLD (Ver. 2.09) Mapping GPS receiver (about $300US, check latest prices HERE) is a full-featured and medium cost receiver with a built-in 16 MB basemap (competitive units have 8 MB, Meridian basic has 2 MB) showing worldwide political boundaries, U.S. cities, highways, major roads, national parks, waterways and railways. The GOLD also has a slot for another 8 to 128 megabytes of flash "SD" memory available for uploading detailed street maps, waypoints and routes from Magellan's new MapSend Streets CD-ROM (sold separately). SD memory from vendors other than Magellan will operate in the Meridian units. A separate review of the PLATINUM version can be found HERE.
It's a competitor to the Garmin GPSmap 76 and eMap but with substantial hardware improvements. The GOLD is rated IPX7 (submersible to one meter for 30 minutes) and it floats. See (HERE) for a review of the Magellan Platinum which is a competitor to the Garmin GPSmap 76S.

While Garmin has used "product differentiation" by equipping low-cost models with small but irritating feature deficiencies while NOT offering a "full featured model with large map memory", Magellan apparently decided to offer customers an attractive alternative.
