A Magellan Meridian With USB and MP3 player built in

[+GOT GPS?]

With the capabilities of the MeriGold and others, now would be a good time for Magellan to come out with a Meridan MP3 GPS with a USB, and Headphone Jacks on the GPS. Then Geocachers would not have to pretend that the GPS is a cellphone, when people are staring at you. The large screen on the Meridian is perfect for displaying a list of music that would be loaded on the SD memory cards.

MP3 is a compressed format of WAV..

To play mp3 it needs much processing and that will use much battery..

The USB cable would be great.. easy connect to the computer.. don't know maybe it already exist

Don't know if you were kidding or not, but I was wondering myself why someone couldn't put a small hard drive into a GPS.

 

The Apple iPod is the size of a deck of cards. Includes a display screen, a firewire data port, control pad, and a 5 to 10 gigabyte hard drive. And it's priced comparably to the high-end range of consumer GPS models.

 

Just shows how much electronics you could cram in that amount of space. Something the size of the Meridian could easily hold a hard drive.

 

Imagine having all of your detail maps on the GPS all the time, unlimited space for waypoints and tracks -- and being able to transfer data between your GPS and computer at firewire speeds!
