True, you probably know they way home, to grandma’s house, to your parents, etc.  But for the other days of the year where frankly you have no clue where you are going, a GPS is the way to go.  Our good friends at Magellan have put together quite the list of products they are featuring this holiday season.  So if a GPS is on your favorite person’s list, be sure to check these out!  Magellan’s products should get you to where you are going just fine.

On a side note, how cool would it be to have a product named after you? I mean Magellan was a great explorer in his day.  But here we are nearly 490 years after his death and now he has cool electronics named after him!  If anyone wants to name something after me, just let me know.  Hopefully I won’t have to wait 500 years for it though.
