Average Rating:
Rating: - Great Product when used with NG Maps
I got the Triton 400 last week and am extremely happy with it. i ran the update through VantagePoint, installed National Geographic Maps and have been using the product ever since. its small enough to place in pocket for trail running which i do quite frequently. I also have a bike mount for my mountain bike. i upload all my trails back to National Geographic and share with one other avid mountain biker. with the National Geographic maps, you can really see where you are and where you are going. Great details and this product is a great deal.
Rating: - Severe Software Problems
Magellan came out with this series of Triton's with the great idea that they were the only GPS handheld manufacturer that could download USGS maps at 1:24,000 scale to a SD Disk in the unit (only models 400 and up). Their website states all the software they are compatible with. It has been a miserable failure. Thousands of these handhelds have been returned due to software and connectivity problems, which is a real shame. I personally have gone through four Triton's and have the same problem every time. It simply will not connect to my PC. The satellite signals work great even in my home ... Read More
Rating: - Actually, not so bad
I probably wouldn't have purchased this unit, but I had an Explorist 500 that wasn't working right and even though it was out of warranty, Magellan gave me the Triton 400 as a replacement. I also got the National Geographic Weekend 3D map for my area. I got the map to load, although it was slow. It's a neat map topographically, but I use the Triton on my bicycle and the map doesn't list all the street names. Also, it was last updated in 1981 for portions of the covered area, so it's woefully out of date. However, I found on Magellan's website step by step instructions for loading the Mapsend TOPO ...

Rating: - Get lost, Triton 400
I agree with the other reviewers except I haven't experienced software crashes yet. Let me list the ways I hate thee, Triton 400:
Very poor customer support, nearly non-existent.
Odometer inaccurate as stated by others. It can be off by 20% or more. And yet, if you transfer tracks from the unit to the Vantage Point computer software, the mapping program will give accurate milage from the units own data! Go figure.
Button interface awkward. The buttons are small and response uncertain.
Software interface awkward. Which button do I use this time? ... Read More
Rating: - Lots of potential, but falls short
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. The base map is extremely basic. The Nat Geo Topo! maps look great on here, but I couldn't find any other maps that worked. The Geocaching functions were great, I loved how you could display the hint if you wanted it but couldn't accidentally see it. I found the Triton to be extremely accurate and once I had it figured out I enjoyed using it, except for the shutdowns and errors. If it would work with a Mac, I might have ... Read More
