Magellan eXplorist 500 LE is a color GPS handheld mostly designed for outdoor activists. The unique feature of the 500 LE is that just like the 500 it works with Li-Ion batteries but the LE model gives you the option to also use AAA batteries. The eXplorist 500 LE has special software features (or ’solutions’ as they’d like to call it) for various outdoor activities. For kayaking and fishing you’ll find the fishing and hunting times and sun and moon calculator to be very handy. If you are into geocaching you’ll be making use of the software that loads GPS coordinates directly from the Internet to the Magellan eXplorist.

Here are some of the main features:
