Triton 2000's rugged rubberized housing is easy to grip while the strap loop facilitates attachment to packs or clothing.

From Altrec Outdoors:
"Large color touch screen, 2 MP camera, voice recorder, LED flashlight, and SD-card expandability enable you to take pictures and capture sounds, to record your adventure as you navigate and store the information to share with others or reference yourself later. 3-axis electronic compass, built-in barometer and more"

From Backcountry.com:
"Trying to type out notes about locations on your GPS can be a pain, which is why the built-in 2MP camera and voice recorder on the Magellan Triton 2000 GPS is so handy. Besides being able to associate photos and voice notes with specific waypoints, the 2000 GPS has an easy-to-use touch screen and a low-battery-consumption LED flashlight for when the sun goes down on your geocashing adventure. Magellan's VantagePoint software manages and uploads maps, and you can use your own SD cards (up to 4 GB) to save photos, sounds, store routes, and add detailed maps. The Triton is also compatible with National Geographic maps. A three-axis electronic compass shows you direction no matter how you're holding the unit, and the barometer helps with accurate elevation readings and changing weather notices. Thanks to an IPX-7 waterproof rating, the 2000 GPS holds its own in a meter of water for up to 30 minutes."

Reviewed by Cass K., Jan 12, 2008

"While the promise of the feature set on this product had me ready to switch from my Garmin, the implementation is horrible. I have been testing it for about a week now. Do not buy this unit until Magellan re-releases it correctly.

Areas of problem so far:
* Random crashes."
