Magellan Personal Pioneer Handheld Gps Receiver

got something a little interesting today a Magellan GPS 315 though this unit is over 15 years old it still works quite well especially since the end of selective availability it is weatherproof as you can see there are no exterior screws so at least for today we are not going to be tearing into this thing I believe that's manufactured it's either December 1999 or the 12th week of 1999 well the user manual warns against their use rechargeable battery technology has come quite a ways in the past decade and a half so even these two inexpensive rechargeables will run this unit for at least five hours let's see how quickly this thing can get a lock with a clear view of the sky three minutes to lock on after a cold start is pretty respectable sometimes even our fancy new GPS takes longer than that to get a good lock as you can see we're right by home as we are sitting in my backyard the unit
