SANTA CLARA, Calif. - Magellan today announced that it has been named a TU-Automotive Awards 2016 finalist for its eXplorist TRX7 off-road navigator. These awards recognize the leaders pushing the connected car industry forward through innovation, industry engagement and quality products and services. The eXplorist TRX7 is a TU-Automotive Awards 2016 finalist in the Best Aftermarket Telematics Product/Service category.

It offers the most comprehensive trail database, improved driver safety, a superior user experience with detailed 3D maps, and community-generated tracks at an exceptional out-of-the-box value. 



The device features a 7" high-resolution touchscreen protected by a ruggedized IP67 shock-resistant casing, includes a genuine RAM mount (depending on model), hi-res (to 10 meters) 3D and 2D topo base map views, and an easy to use interface for following trails, recording tracks, and marking waypoints.
