Magellan Cutting Lone Geocaching Staffer

Sad Day for the Geocaching Community.... I am truly shocked to hear that Magellan has decided to cut support and ties with the geocaching community by laying off the only representative who supported our sport/hobby. It was always great to see Magellan (Jeff Caulfield) at events showcasing the latest and greatest in GPS technology. Having the opportunity to talk directly with a highly skilled and knowledgeable person gave Magellan a lead over other GPS manufacturers and this management move is dumb founding. Especially since geocaching draws such a more diverse and larger customer base than hunting and other outdoor sports, you would think a major company like Magellan would want to increase its involvement. I sincerely hope that Magellan re-thinks this executive decision or I could easily see Magellan falling by the wayside and becoming one of those companies of the past.
Be sure to post or email your Comments to Magellan Outdoor, or Magellan GPS, or through their company website. And Spread the word through other Geocaching FB pages and websites.
