New Magellan GPS

Postby sledgehampster on Fri Nov 02, 2007 8:12 am

Magellan is coming out with a new unit called Triton. Looks good so far, especially the 400. Release was originally scheduled for Oct and now has been pushed back to Nov(?).
Will wait to see how they work for other folks before I get too excited.

Last I heard the Triton series may not be out until January but possibly in time for Yule. The problem, apparently, is not on Magellan's end but with the National Geographic maps. Reports are that NG is working hard to make the conversions work smoothly.

This is a new system with lots of new stuff it is bound to have growing pains while in Beta.

Triton

Postby sledgehampster on Wed Dec 12, 2007 9:27 am

A phone call to REI informed me that they are expecting a shipment on Dec 21.

I am considering ordering a 400...

Looks pretty cool!

Been considering upgrading to a color display.
I may be a Garmin convert. :roll:

Triton 400

Postby kitticat on Mon Aug 18, 2008 8:51 pm

I bought a Triton 400 this summer as my first gps device. I did LOTS of shopping and in spite of reviews that stated that the Magellan customer support was not that good, I took a chance and made the purchase. So far, so good, knock on wood - it has been fine.

Had a couple of problems with turning off the unit but I think it was like my computer - busy so it was slow to respond.

I like the Vantage Point software pretty well. But I really don't have anything to compare to since this is my first experience with gps.

Would like to see a Triton "in the wild". Almost bought one but backed out when the ship started to sink...
