from www.amazon.com
so far it is great....easy to use etc...the only thing adverse would be that it doesn't show the found geocaches open in the map part like the vista does..
from www.amazon.com
if i was writing this review solely on the out of the box unit i would give it one star, with the upgrade four and after another update or two a 5 or 6.
from www.amazon.com
i have never had the unit crash, the file system is super easy to use with the roller, and the unit has been very accurate so far.

from lt.dell.com
prosthis is a very good product with a lot of features and ease of use.
from www.bestbuy.com
have a freind who had a problem with his right out of the box.
from www.amazon.com
after literally hours (probably over ten) with support in the philippines and florida, i could not get anyone to resolve my connectivity problem.
from www.amazon.com
all the other reviewers comments are valid, the software is difficult to use, the gpsr itself is difficult to use, and there are a lot of shutdowns and "outdoornav.exe" errors.
from www.amazon.com
perhaps many of you may already know this, but there's no easy way of getting street maps on the triton.

the topo maps are awesome, and the unit seems easy to use - especially with the touch controls.
from StingRay327, reviews.cnet.com
it's easy for anyone to figure out how to use because there are no advanced features or much in the way of customizing what you want.
from hikerjack, reviews.cnet.com
touchscreen is easy to use and very clear except in brightest sunlight, great national geographic maps.

$249.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
it's small and light enough and easy enough to use; not overly complicated.
from www.amazon.com
it's easy to use and easy to read.
from www.amazon.com
the unit looks great, handles great, and is fairly easy to use for a windows machine.
from www.amazon.com
then, go on amazon, and buy a gpsmap 60csx which arrives in the promised time, has a normal mini-usb connection (unlike the carpel tunnel inducing connector on the magellan) and works out of the box!!
from www.amazon.com
but for the simple things i was looking for, the triton 500 works just fine.

from williarc1, reviews.cnet.com
the operating system can be a bit confusing at some points in time, and often overcomplicates a task that would be much simpler on other units.
from Robert8750, reviews.cnet.com
navigation fairly easy and intuitive.
from crankyarse, www.shopping.com
pros: interface was easy to use
from race, www.newegg.com
cons: difficult to operate out of the box.
from www.amazon.com
their website provides very little information on anything but the national geographic maps, their instruction manual (which magellan touts that you may never need since the gps is so easy to use)

Magellan Triton 200

$136.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
it is a very basic handheld unit with no frill's straight out of the box.
from www.amazon.com
unfortunately, brand new, out of the box, it couldn't find any satellites (bad unit).
from www.amazon.com
the screens don't really give you an easy (or logical) menu-ing system (the best idea would be that the menu button brings up a full menu of everything you can do on that display opposed to taking
