| | Summary:
  | "Lots of potential with tons of bugs"
Posted By Brenda from Maryland | | Pros: | See above | | Cons: | See above | | | | | | After approximately 20 hours of using the Triton 300 in the field, these are my impressions.The good:Quick to power up and initialize.Rugged construction and feel of case.Clear bright screen.Navigation fairly easy and intuitive.Good battery life.Compatible with National Geographic 1:24000 mapsEven in deep woods and heavy overcast the Triton never failed to get a signal.The bad: User manual is incomplete leaving out a lot of necessary information. Some of the information is just plain incorrect and unit will not function if directions are followed. Unit locks up (every time) after connecting to TOPO! and Vantage Point (Magellan's software) requiring a battery to be pulled out to reset the unit. Approximately 15-25 times in the twenty hours, upon pressing a key the unit would lock up. A continuous sound would emit as if the key was being held down. The only alternative was to pull the batteries out to restart. Magellan tech support (India) claimed they would have one of their Senior Members call be back within the hour to help with some issues. 20 days later, still no call. Despite being fairly computer and GPS literate, I had a lot of difficulty connecting for map and waypoint transfers.Overall Impression:A ton of aggravation I could have done without! It is very obvious Magellan rushed product rollout despite tons of bugs in the software and inadequate documentation (Manual).Recommendation: Wait for them to work out the bugs or buy another unit.
