Magellan Switch
---------------
The Magellan Switch is a crossover GPS watch for runners looking
to track all of their outdoor activities. You choose the sport
and Switch will guide you to peak performance with precise GPS
satellite data by distance, speed/pace, and elevation.
It's sleek, yet durable design with 50 meters water-resistance
will keep up in any condition.
Created for Runners Who Also Train in Other Sports
--------------------------------------------------
Switch is a crossover GPS watch designed primarily for running
but expandable to cycling, swimming and other outdoor activities.
Switch tracks position precisely with GPS satellite data and
records time, distance, speed/pace, elevation and more.
High-sensitivity GPS allows Switch to acquire satellites quickly
and track movement in many tough environments – near tall
buildings, on ainous terrain or under heavy tree cover. By
using ANT+ wireless technology, the Switch easily connects to a
Magellan heart rate monitor or any ANT+ compatible heart rate
monitor, foot pod, bike speed/cadence sensor and power meter.
Boasting a high-resolution display, Switch provides superior
readability in varying light conditions – especially bright
light. With 8 hours of battery life from a rechargeable
lithium-ion battery, Switch has enough in the tank to capture
most activities. And for ultra athletes, Magellan offers an
optional Battery Extender Pack that provides 16 hours of
additional battery life, for a total of 24 hours.
Switch is water resistant to 50 meters, so it can be worn for an
extended period in water to track swimming activities and other
high intensity water and snow activities. The slim design and
flexible wristband mean Switch can be used in a variety of
conditions.
Switch breaks away from the pack by introducing a new training
concept for GPS watches – Activity Pacer. Once a desired
distance, time and speed/pace have been set, Activity Pacer not
only shows the targeted progress, but more importantly, provides
specific targets to attain or maintain the original goal.
Additionally, Switch includes fitness and training features such
as customizable activity screens with over 80 data fields to
choose from, 9 activity profiles to save device configurations
based on activity type, auto lap, auto pause, backtrack
navigation, marking locations, activity history, and more.
For those looking to analyze and share their activities,
Magellan makes it easy for customers to upload, view and store
activities at the Magellan Active website. This fitness hub is
also ideal for customers looking for an online source to store
and automatically distribute activities to their favorite social
networks and fitness websites. For those who prefer to upload
directly to their favorite fitness site, Magellan Switch devices
are compatible with MyFitness, TrainingPeaks, Strava, and
more.
