The Meridian Gold gives you all the great advantages of GPS in a full set of features:

  • Full Featured Navigation
    Seven customizable graphic navigation displays show a map, compass, speedometer, and text readouts of heading, bearing, speed, direction, ETA, and more. Choose from 12 built-in coordinate systems and 76 datums including Latitude/Longitude, Universal Transverse Mercator, and Military Grid Reference System.
  • Store routes and track-points
    Store up to 20 routes, 500 waypoints and 2,000 track-points to easily find your way back again.
