Magellan MobileMapper CX

Magellan announced MobileMapper CX, a handheld GPS targeted at the GIS professional; the unit has capabilities that one might just drool over. To start it has sub-meter accuracy, which may not sound all that cool, but hey if you got it, you got it. The interface is geared towards the mapping and data capture community as it has easy data and attribute entry through a new interface. The unit also comes equipped with Bluetooth and WiFi capabilities for data sharing and web logins. With a windows interface, you can also store and use third party files of up to 4GB in size.

Not in GIS, Who Cares? Handheld users should… this is the flagship model that will take its technology and roll down into other models that regular people can buy. Satellite images, sub-meter accuracy, wireless data swapping, and huge (third party maybe even web downloadable to the unit) map capabilities; might just be a beautiful model for the rest of us someday.
