Magellan entering fitness market with Switch UP

Magellan Switch UPUPDATEHere is my Magellan Switch series review.

Magellan appears poised to tackle the fitness market with the Switch UP, which looks to be a cycling unit with multi-sport aspirations. It is ANT+ enabled to interface with heart rate rate monitors, cadence and power inputs. No word on an introduction date, but I’d say there’s a good chance we’ll see it on the market for the holidays.

The manual makes reference to the unit’s Reno-Boulder Device Software, but that doesn’t really tell us anything, although it makes me wonder if we won’t see a whole line of fitness products coming from them.

You can check out the FCC filing yourself, but you’ll get a big ole scary warning letting you know that the Feds are too busy fighting with each other, taking down GPS jammers or licensing them to take care of minor details such as site security certificates. Otherwise, just enjoy the rest of the pics…
