Magellan Gets Primordial Off-road Routing

"Turn left at the really tall cliff!" GPS maker Magellan is teaming with Primordial Inc. to enable off-road and outdoor enthusiasts to map natural and man-made obstacles.

GPS maker Magellan has announced a partnership with Primordial Inc., to bring Primordial’s Ground Guidance software to future Magellan Triton GPS units. Primordial’s Ground Guidance enables users to plug-in regional content packs to their GPS units to implement off-road routing capabilities, avoiding dense forests, lakes, rivers, and other natural and man-made obstacles to find a route between two points without connecting roads. Ground Guidance is the result of over six years of development, and received more than $2 million in funding from the U.S. Army.

“Magellan is working to put people in control of their navigation experience with innovative and beneficial applications like Primordial Ground Guidance that give you the best information and map resources available to enhance your navigation experience,
