Ferdinand Magellan was the first European to reach Tierra del Fuego on South America's southern tip. Magellan did not intend to circumnavigate the world, only to find a secure way through which the Spanish ships could navigate to the Spice Islands. It was Elcano, who, after Magellan's death, decided to push westwards, completing so the first travel around the entire Earth. He was also the first European to land in the Philippines and meet its native people. He had professional scientists on the trip to help determine the species of some of the animals he found on his voyage. About 232 Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, French, English and German sailors died on the expedition around the world with Magellan. The King and Queen of Spain supported the exploration voyage.
Today Magellan makes GPS navigation devices.The Company is headquartered in San Dimas, California with European headquarters in Carquefou, France.
