CES report
Magellan, the fastest-growing GPS brand in the world, introduced the Magellan Maestro Elite 3270, which features the first state-of-the-art, flat-panel touch-screen display in the portable vehicle navigation industry. The new Magellan Maestro Elite solution can be viewed this week in Las Vegas at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas in Magellan's booth (no. 31247). The compact 3.5-inch Magellan Maestro Elite 3270 unit features a seamless touch-panel that integrates the newest display technology for a highly responsive screen and an elegant, high-tech look. Even a light touch will instantly get users to the next screen with its high-sensitivity display.

Magellan is the first GPS manufacturer to eliminate the plastic bezel housing common to portable navigation devices. The result is an edge-to-edge, completely flat touch display that gives the Magellan Maestro Elite 3270 a state-of-the-art, seamless surface with sensitivity and performance superior to anything else on the market today.
Magellan Maestro Elite 3270 Price
The Magellan Maestro Elite 3270 - priced at $499 - also will feature Magellan's proprietary SayWhere text-to-speech technology that announces street names, Bluetooth capability for hands-free calling, pre-loaded maps of North America, Puerto Rico and Mexico and more than 6 million searchable points of interest (POIs). At only 17.8 mm thick and just 82.5 mm tall, the new Maestro packs dozens of advanced mapping features and a bright 3.5-inch QVGA screen into the industry's most compact, portable auto navigation unit.
