 disappointed and lost September 8, 2008
Unfortunately the gps unit I received doesn't work correctly. It freezes up and I lose all data.I have been in touch with Magellan and they are going to repair or replace free of charge. I am confident this will be resolved. My son has the same gps unit and it works great.
Not as it claims August 27, 2008
I bought a Triton 200 and found that its User Datum function does not work. This means that if I want to use it in a system different from the limited loaded datums I cannot. Don't buy this receiver if you may ever want to use it outside of the USA. So much for a global positioning system receiver.
 Very Basic July 1, 2008
I recieved this unit as a gift.
It is a very basic handheld unit with no frill's straight out of the box.
Someone in one of the prior reviews stated that they actualy read the booklet that came with the unit. EXACTLY! Read the booklet, become familiar with the controll's, etc.
My only beef is that the unit does not come with the required USB cable needed to upload maps, etc. I logged into Amazon to do that since I found a better price and noticed these reviews.
I'm hoping that once I get the cable and am able to work with maps on the unit i can give it a higher rating.
For what it is, it's a fine unit, if you need text to speach, spoken directions, etc. then dont get this unit. It's more for hiking, watercraft and learning GPS.
That said, I'm off to buy a USB cable.
Hope this helped.
under repair in 3 weeks June 10, 2008
hard to configure if you are technologically challenged
buggy software
lack of detail in base map
topo software imports a bitmap image into gps unit - pixelated!
This was only useful on the first part of my road trip to the Grand Canyons. I didn't use any paper maps going there. But as you zoom in and out, you see more or less roads depending on the area.
And then the unit froze!
Customer service was fast but the unit is on its way to repair. I've only had this thing for 3 weeks. I hope they get it right.

First off, I would recommend any hiking GPS system as a backup to a simply map and compass. That said, I want to clarify something about this particular model. This is a basic beginner's device to learn about Navigation, Waypoints, Trails, GeoCache and all the additional methods that go along with these. It also has a good "Best Fishing & Hunting Times for Current Location" menu as well as "Viewing Sunrise, Sunset Times" and "Lunar Information". The Triton has all these features and a USA map already included. I would highly suggest a class in GPS along with this.
The biggest problem with Magellan Triton products is they have had some problems with their software in the recent past. After contacting SUPPORT, they assured me that anything not up to date would be processed accordingly. Uh-huh. But, the biggest faux paus was to read, "compatibility with National Geographic TOPO! maps", stamped on the box cover and stated on-line, only to find out that it is not. Nor is the Triton 300 model. You are unable to download base map information to this device. I was able to download a trail (.gpx), but nothing else. The Triton Models 400 and above have an SD Card for this and they can upload map information.
The overseas support for Magellan is pure crap. I wasted over an hour with someone who knew nothing about the product. To make matters worse, not only did I pay for shipping, but when I returned the item, I had to pay for that as well. Not good business practices. I would try Garmin.
