As the name implies, this travel bug's mission is to try and make it around the world!! Thanks for assisting in accomplishing this goal!

You are either holding an obsolete, 10+ year old Magellan GPS (main) that was not accurate
enough for geocaching, much less anything else....OR ....

...............(MAIN)................................(COPY)...................

you are holding GeoMagellan's entrails (copy)!!
What better use for this old school gps than to convert it into a couple of travel bugs!!
These TBs are on a very difficult mission. Their goal is to circumnavigate the globe, just as the great explorer, Ferdinand Magellan, did.

NOTE: If you can't assist in this goal, please leave it for
someone to find who can! Please specify "main" or "copy" when you log in! Please read an important note in the initial log entry. Thanks!

Ferdinand Magellan

Portuguese maritime explorer

Born Spring 1480 Sabrosa, Portugal
Died April 27, 1521 Cebu, Philippines
Other names pt: Fernão de Magalhães
es: (F/H)ernando de Magallanes Known for Captained the first
circumnavigational expedition; located the Magellanic Straits.

Ferdinand Magellan (Portuguese: Fernão de Magalhães,
(Spring 1480 – April 27,1521,
Mactan Island, Cebu, Philippines) was a Portuguese maritime
explorer who, while in the service of the Spanish Crown, tried to
find a westward route to the Spice Islands of Indonesia. This was
the first successful attempt to circumnavigate the Earth in
history. Although he did not complete the entire voyage (he was
killed during the Battle of Mactan in the Philippines) fellow
Basque-navigator Juan Sebastian Elcano completed the final westward
voyage. As Magellan traveled farther west than the Spice Islands,
which he had visited on earlier voyages from the west, he became
one of the first individuals to cross all the meridians of the
globe. He was the first person to lead an expedition sailing
westward from Europe to Asia and to cross the Pacific Ocean.
Magellan should also be recognized as the first explorer to enter
the Pacific from the eponymous Strait of Magellan, which he
discovered. He is also remembered as the first European to reach
the archipelago of what is now known as the Philippines, which was
unknown to the western world before his landing. Arab traders had
established commerce within the archipelago centuries earlier.
Of the 237 men who set out on five ships to circumnavigate the
earth, only 18 completed the circumnavigation of the globe and
managed to return to Spain in 1522.[1][2] They were led by a Basque
Juan Sebastián Elcano, who took over command of the expedition
after Magellan's death. 17 other men arrived later in Spain, 12 men
captured by the Portugueses in Cape Verde some weeks later, and in
1525/1526 5 survivors of the Trinidad.
