Magellan's 750M Provides Freedom and Flexibility For Road Warriors and Multi-Car Families

      - America's Most Popular Vehicle Navigation System Goes Portable -

    SANTA CLARA, Calif., Sept. 19 Magellan Corporation, makers
of the 750NAV(TM) and Hertz NeverLost(R) vehicle navigation systems, announces
the release of the world's first portable navigation system -- the 750M(TM)
(mobile).  Compact, lightweight and rugged, the 750M's portability and easy
set up makes it ready for use in minutes -- without the cost and inconvenience
of installation.  It's the ideal navigation solution for road warriors,
frequent travelers, fleet and lease-car operators, recreational vehicle owners
and multi-vehicle families.
    Smaller and lighter than many notebook computers at less than seven
pounds, the 750M comes pre-assembled and self-contained in an attractive
carrying case with a shoulder strap for easy transport.  It includes free map
coverage of the entire U.S. and Canada and features a new off-road navigation
option.  With the portable 750M, drivers of multiple vehicles can now have
visual and voice-prompted, turn-by-turn directions to any domestic location --
at any time -- in any vehicle.
    "With the 750M's portability, Magellan is delivering driving freedom,"
said Jeff Cable, vice president of worldwide marketing.  "Not only will
customers have the flexibility of using a single navigation system in
different vehicles, they'll gain increased productivity, improved safety and a
stress-free drive as the 750M nearly eliminates the chances of getting lost in
unfamiliar places."
    Test drivers and analysts endorse the 750M as the most convenient,
informative and easy to use navigation system on the market.  "I have a
built-in navigation system in one of my cars but the 750M is easier to use,
provides more information and is just as accurate without being hardwired into
my vehicle," said Andrew Seybold, editor and chief of Forbes/Andrew Seybold's
Wireless Outlook newsletter and an analyst in the wireless industry.  "What I
love most about the 750M is that I'm able to move it from vehicle to vehicle.
It's a great product."
    Available at a suggested retail price of $2,799, the intuitive 750M
combines map-matching, inertial navigation technology and continuous free data
from Global Positioning System satellites to provide extremely accurate
guidance information.  Its color display shows the driver's position on
detailed maps of streets and highways.  Drivers can exclude routes with
construction, traffic or accidents and have the option of choosing the fastest
or shortest route, which is automatically recalculated after a missed turn.
The 750M powers on and off through ignition sensing.
    Other features include the option to choose a male or female voice from
seven languages, view routes in four formats and store 100 frequent
destinations.  The 750M also shows services available at each highway exit and
has a database of more than 500,000 businesses, hotels, restaurants, shopping
centers, government facilities and business-related retailers.

    Accessories
    The 750M requires no monthly fees and has a one-year warranty.  It ships
with a navigation computer, rechargeable backup battery, carrying case with
shoulder strap, docking station, quick-mount bracket, battery charger, an
in-vehicle power adapter and a 12-foot-cable magnetic GPS antenna.  It also
ships with a color display that is visible in bright sunlight and has a
five-foot cable.  Optional accessories include a 20-foot-cable GPS antenna and
a 16-foot display cable.
    Magellan also offers a mobility kit that converts the 750NAV to a portable
system.  It includes all 750M components except the navigation computer and
display. Additional displays are available.  For more information or dealer
