And then you turn it on and realize the 2.2" screen is tiny especially against the whole orange body. Then you are faced with a non-intuitive menu as you try to navigate around with a tiring directional keypad. The Triton 400 is s step up from the lower model by an addition of an SD card slot. Yipee. from Amazon.com I have a Garmin e-trex GPS as a backup for my sailboat navigation system so my use of handheld systems has been limited to marine use only. At first I thought this Magellan Trinton 400 system would be a good handheld for marine use. Then I changed my mind. from Amazon.com Buyer beware. Don't purchase the Magellan with the National Geographic Adventurepack. We have returned multiple times and find the maps are not compatible. from Amazon.com VantagePoint is a powerful software (It comes with the unit). It will manage your maps, geocaching, and POIs. The Triton comes with a basic map, and it is basic. Upgrade to the AccuTerra TOPO, and you will have a GPS that can't be matched. from Amazon.com The National Geographic "Super Maps" are a cruel hoax because their resolution is so miserably poor as to be unusable, especially when you zoom in. To make the maps even worse, the screen is almost totally unreadable in sunlight. Besides all that, I spent hours and hours on the phone trying to work the problems out of two 400s (the original and a replacement). I will spare myself and you the details, but both locked up on me when I downloaded updates. from Amazon.com The first thing to know about the "Magellan Triton 400 HandheldNavigation System" is that it is strictly a hiking GPS. There are nostreet maps, and it won't plot any courses for you if you are planningon taking a trip. from Amazon.com I've always wanted a hand held GPS and I have to say that I'm not at all disappointed with the Magellan. It's very user friendly and fun to use. from Amazon.com I was quite excited about the Triton 400. I got it out of the box, installed the software, patched everything, downloaded the set of free TOPO maps covering different portions of the United States (well, I signed up, waited for the email, and then downloaded and installed them) -- I was, to a degree, a kid on Christmas morning with a new toy. from Amazon.com Luckily I love a challenge or I would have given up on the Magellan Triton right out of the box. First, there are no written instructions (the included CD links you to PDF instructions). from Amazon.com The Magellan Triton 400 is a very easy to use GPS with most of the features and functionality you would expect to find on higher priced units. My needs in a handheld GPS are fairly basic since we are casual hikers, however we do live very close to the Appalachian Trail in an area that has a lot of side trails, some of which are poorly marked. from Amazon.com
