 Triton better then reviewed September 6, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I purchased the 1500 to replace my older merridian marine unit made by Magellan, I love it so far! We just spent a week in South Central Oregon Antelope hunting/Geocaching and the only thing I dont like about the unit so far is that it wont do Autorouting. I run Topo and City street software to get the detail I want and it has worked flawlessly so far.
 What you wanted may not be what you get June 7, 2008

Nice unit and seems to be pretty much bullet proof.
You get an over all map of the US but only general map with only major highways. It looks as if any map you might wish in more detail will have to be purchased, I guess I am too used to my Roadmate 760, which has really spoiled me as far as what you get with the unit.
The user interface is easy to use, however trying to connect to a computer is far from simple.
In a few words, "Very dissappointing!"
Would I suggest it to a friend? ... Only if I do not wish to keep them a friend.
Magellan Triton 1500 Once Figured out it is GREAT April 13, 2008
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
I received my Magellan Triton 1500 from my wife for Christmas. We like hiking Mt Leconte in The Great Smokey Mountains National Park each summer and thought this would be a fun way to keep track of where we are on the trail and to find different landmarks along the way. We also live on a farm with a creek running alongside it, and wanted to be able to watch the cursor move along as we walk it. Well, here it is in mid April, and I just now got it all working for me. I did not receive much in the box, just the receiver, some batteries, and a package of replacement stylus. I phoned the Magellan folks three times and never did receive the rest of what was supposed to be in the box. I bought a cable off of e-bay, and downloaded the vantage point software over the internet from the Magellan website. I bought the National Geographic TOPO maps on CD for Tennessee and Kentucky from the National Geographic website.
One major task to complete before this will work is to load up the Magellan Driver needed for your PC to recognize the Magellan. I googled a search for help doing this, and found information on how to get it done, and finally got that done.
The second major thing to do, is to download the newest version updates of the TOPO software. Without it you will not have a box that allows you to send the TOPO map you want to the Magellan Triton GPS. The National Geographic website will give you a lot of information on how to get their TOPO maps exported to the Magellan Triton. You must update your TOPO software to version 4-4-2 . The upgrade you need is at
www.topo-triton.com .
I need to make it clear, the National Geographic Website will give you the best informaton out there to get this thing working with their TOPO maps. Spend some time reading their information under Magellan Triton Support.
After you get this done, you can open up the TOPO software (mine is for Kentucky and Tennessee) and zoom into the area you want to map. Zoom into the closest range possible (level 5) and then you will click the red box on the top line. You can move around the red box to include the area you are interested in, and then save it as a name you will remember.
The export from TOPO to Magellan Triton is easy now. You will load up the small map that you just saved, and then along the right side of your TOPO screen you will select the choice "Export to Triton" and give the map a name that will show up in the maps menu of your Triton. Then, click export now, and very quickly the map will go to the Triton.
From the Triton menu, select view then maps. You will see the name of the map you just sent to the Triton and there will probably be a box with a red slash in it on the left of the map name. Click that red slashed box with your stylus so the red slash goes away. This will then be the map that will be displayed on your Triton. (only one active map can exist in the Triton, the red slashes are the maps that are inactive).
I have a 2GB SD card plugged in, and all my imported maps go to it without me doing anything.
The screens with the maps are clear, colorful, and a lot of fun to have as you hike around an area.
I AM VERY EXCITED ABOUT THIS GREAT TECHNOLOGY THAT IS AFFORDABLE AND NOW THAT I FINALLY GOT IT FIGURED OUT, EASY TO USE.
GET YOU ONE OF THESE MAGELLAN TRITONS AND YOU WILL ONLY REGRET THAT YOU DIDN'T GET ONE SOONER. No Kidding, get you one of these today!
Triton gps is the future January 14, 2008
7 out of 9 found this review helpful
Great unit, needs some work via firmware to fix some problems but the integration (once you figure it out) with national geographic is awesome. To have a full color detailed topo with trails, waypoints and symbols has been long awaited. Mp3 player rocks, flashlight is a great feature. Menu system will drive you nuts. Right now you can only upload small topo regions accurately.. Anything large like say the size of Vermont, will lead to the map being out of position by up to 500 ft.
All in all a great unit - super fast satellite acquiring.
Magellan just needs to fix a handfull of bugs, large and small.
Integration with NG Topo Maps January 2, 2008
5 out of 11 found this review helpful
Although I do not currently own the Magellan Triton, I found some information while researching the product and checking user reviews that may assist in integrating the product with the NG Topo maps.
Evidently, you must download the 4.4.2 version of Topo from the NG website and then download an updater so that the software works with the SD card.
Hope that helps.
