From EMS:
"The ground-breaking Magellan Triton 300 GPS receiver is an amazingly easy-to-use handheld that's compact, affordable, and delivers the fastest GPS tracking on the planet. Also the first to display National Geographic TOPO! maps on screen! Compatible with National Geographic TOPO! maps; not only can you transfer routes and waypoints, but Triton is the first GPS that view TOPO! maps on screen. Pre-loaded basemap of the continental United States, Alaska, and Canada. Large, full-color display (2.2-inch QVGA) shows maps and data with crystal clear graphics; viewable in any lighting condition, including bright sunlight. Extremely rugged, rubberized design built to withstand a drop to concrete; easy to grip. Waterproof to IEC 60529 IPX-7 standards2which means it can be immersed in up to one meter of water (40 in.) for as long as 30 minutes. Powered by just 2 AA batteries; runs up to 10 hours on one set; easily replaceable in the field. So easy to use, you won't need a user's manual; highly-intuitive keypad interface; a few "go" button clicks are all that's needed to navigate. Clear reception, even in heavy cloud cover and deep canyons."

"I agree with the other reviews concerning the Triton 300. I do find it useful if I can get it to connect to the vantage point software. I'm still waiting for the ability to load maps on it, but then Magellan says you can and the topo program states right on the box it can't."

"I have had the Triton 300 for 3 days now and have been on the phone with their so called tech support twice already. Right out of the box the alerts are so low you need to put the unit up to your ear to hear them.

First person in their India tech support told me I would have to take the unit outside to get maximum signal and do a hard reset by pushing the select button, the esc button, and the power button all at the same time, try that if you have fat fingers."

"Since none of the reputable tech sites have decided to review the Magellan Triton series, I will take the task upon myself. I found no good information on Tritons before purchasing one, so I hope to arm you with the information you need to make a wise decision before purchasing."
