Magellan Triton 400 - North America

 

Overall, this GPS does a fine job at navigating. The color screen is bright enough to see details, and the rubber-coating makes this device easy to grip. One downside to this model is the amount of time it takes from power-on to navigation. But,...

Rugged and water resistant to meet the needs of the casual hikerSD memory card slot to allow for additional maps, tracks, and waypointsSpecifically WAAS-enabled for better GPS accuracy

Reasonable price but lacks features found in other modelsPerforms well but may have the occasional glitch

Magellan Triton 400

 

Don't take a step into the wilderness without this baby

Rugged design, accurate location and speed capability, expandable memory, Vantage Point software

Steep learning curve, some reception difficulties, odd USB connection design

The Triton 400 provides the perfect companion for travelling and hiking. It doesn’t offer the luxuries of Magellan’s more expensive models, but it provides the necessities for successful travel at a fairly reasonable cost.

Quick review of Magellan Triton 400

 

f and when I get used to the Triton 400, I may change my rating, but thus far it is a very difficult device to start using with little knowledge of waypoints, geocaches, etc. The instructions on how to use the thing are pitiful for a novice

GPS for Mid-Range user

 

Mean the feature is cut-off. Magellan Triton 400 has a lot of features that fit for your outbond activities. This model supports waypoints, geocaching, information for sunset and sunrise, low and high tide based on your location and integrated media....

Reasonable price, water resistance, more accurate information

Poor signal in rural area

Don't ever rely on it
