Headquartered in San Dimas, California, with European sales and engineering centres in Nantes, France and Moscow, Russia, Magellan also produces aftermarket automotive GPS units, including the Hertz Neverlost system found in Hertz rental cars.

The Maestro, RoadMate, Triton, and eXplorist lines are Magellan's current consumer offerings.

The MobileMapper CE and ProMark3 have been marketed to professionals like surveyors and GIS (geographic information systems) users.

Some models use SiRFstarIII for position accuracy within three metres, and voice and onscreen prompts that provide directions on how to drive to a particular destination.

The Maestro 4050 is the first portable vehicle navigation device to offer drivers the convenience of voice command capabilities.
