Take your XR-Gear map board to the next level with the Magnetic Metal Board upgrade. This thin steel surface overlays your existing polycarbonate board, instantly transforming it into a full magnetic navigation platform. Combined with XR-Gear's glow-in-the-dark magnetic markers, you get a dynamic, real-time tracking system for your location, checkpoints, and route — even in low-light conditions.
Designed for adventure racers and orienteers who navigate by feel and instinct, the magnetic surface lets you move markers instantly without fumbling with tape, pins, or dry-erase pens. Repositioning is silent, smooth, and one-handed — exactly what you need at speed.

How It Works
Lay the metal board over your existing XR-Gear polycarbonate surface. Place your map on top. Attach XR-Gear magnetic markers through the map — the magnets hold the map flat and give you moveable position markers that won't blow off in wind or wash off in rain. At night, the glow-in-the-dark markers remain visible without any additional lighting.
Perfect For
- Adventure racers who need dynamic checkpoint tracking
- Night orienteering and pre-dawn race stages
