I was planning to use this for my walking routes. First, the buttons on the panel are difficult to operate; they don’t press well. Second time I tried it, the screen went blank. I put new batteries twice and the dang thing won’t work!!
Simple as that! It didn’t work. Giving up on it. . . . Rizzo

Perhaps many of you may already know this, but there’s no easy way of getting street maps on the Triton. I have no idea about the bugginess because I had no opportunity to use it. This is only for the person wanting to use a GPS for the outdoors.

I’ve always wanted a hand held GPS and I have to say that I’m not at all disappointed with the Magellan. It’s very user friendly and fun to use. I also have a Tom Tom that I bought for my husband but we both prefer the Magellan. I did notice that the Magellan had quite a few bad reviews, all of which were probably done before the software updates because I’ve not had any problems with it at all.

I had one for about an hour and a half. I couldn’t even get the software to load in the computer so I brought it back. I am going to look for something else. A definite do not buy.

I picked up this GPS for use on my bicycling trips on road and on local trails. I am not demanding on my bike GPS, and essentially use it as a bicycle computer that tracks distance, pace, etc. while giving me the bonus of an idea where I am (since I have NO innate sense of direction). Unfortunately, the Magellan Triton is barely adequate for either function.
CONS: The base map lacks all but the most major roads, and could barely figure out where I was in relation to the shore of Long Island Sound. The satellite acquisition was slower than any of the other GPSes I have owned – even those with lesser chipsets. The system can’t tell you any directions, though it does tell you where you have been.
PROS: The menu system is decent, and with a little experimentation you’ll find most of the basic functions without having to go to the manual. The actual positioning and tracking of distance is excellent – matching other GPSes that I compared it to exactly. Tracking of speed is also good.
Overall, this is fairly useless as a GPS for those with any but the most basic needs.
