Great GPS, terrible documentation 
2008-06-23
Now that I have this GPS working with maps from TOPO! loaded in the SD card, this is a fantastic device for locating myself while hiking. The receiver works really well, and I have had no problems with the system crashing. There are lots of nice features, and I'm getting used to the menus quickly. Perhaps Magellan and National Geographic have worked out some of the bugs that bedeviled the initial release of the Triton series.
For context: I started using TOPO! in 1998, before Wildflower Productions was taken over by National Geographic, and I am used to using survey grade GPS devices and connecting them to computers. Even with this background, it took me over two hours to figure out how the get the Triton to negotiate with my computer. Magellan documentation for the Triton is hopeless. NG has a very useful support page that describes how to set up the Triton for communicating with TOPO!, but it is difficult to locate on their web page and it is not entirely accurate. But now that I know what to do, transferring maps is quick and easy, and the device works well.
Magellan's gps software, Vantage Point, is poorly documented and not very robust. Also, the documentation for the camera (which is not a very good camera) and the mp3 player are pretty much non-existent. Apparently, Magellan has a lot of faith in the abilities of the American consumer.
Final thought: this is the future of GPS. Who wants to use a device where all you see is a blank screen with a marching stick figure or highways? If you are out hiking, especially off trail, you need to see where you are on detailed topo maps. Garmin sells 1:100,000 topographic maps , but these are worthless compared to the 1:24,000 USGS topo maps that come with TOPO!. Yes, you have to purchase the topo maps from National Geographic, but you also have to buys maps from Garmin. Remember how awful the first digital cameras were? They got better because people bought them and financed the innovation that lead to the fantastic cameras we now enjoy. Magellan went out on a limb and created a great device that needs a bit of tweaking and a good manual; I'm happy to help support their innovation. Once the Triton is set up, it is very easy to use. I plan on using the Triton 500 for my college-level geology students.
GOOD PRODUCT....BAD SUPPORT 
2008-05-14
You can use it only in USA. Just roads maps. Good product...but limited because of the support. I sold it
magellan triton 2000 2008-04-30
I agree with all the negative reviews!! This piece of equipment brings new meaning to the word awful. Had I read the reviews before my purchase I would be spared the time and cost of returning it. Software defects, can not delete routes after they've been programmed, screen slow to respond etc, etc, etc. Tech support almost worthless.
Save your money.
Topo maps - not 
2008-04-03
The unit is has many neat option but the best one it the National Geographic Topo maps. Unfortunately after 4 months I have been unable to load the maps onto the unit. Many hours on the phone have yielded no results. Maybe it's my unit?
Sincerely disappointed.
I seriously think Amazon should let me choose ZERO stars 2008-02-15
Don't waste your money guys...unless you like the crashes...
This probably should have been released in the 80's...alas they are 25 years late...should I say anymore?
Extremely poor implementation. Don't buy it! 2008-01-12
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.
I wish to return it back ... 2008-01-12
there is no map for this thing .. AT ALL ( Only us and Eu ) I want africa, Middel east , They don't have it ..
I don't know why the are selling gps while they don't have a map for it ..
I wish if I bought Garmen ..
Disappointed Magellan Fan 2008-01-11
I am so disappointed. I love my old Magellan but this new Triton 2000 is terrible! I use it for geocaching and I can't even get the thing to take me to the nearest cache. I've called Tech support 3 times (everyone I have spoken to has been difficult to understand due to heavy accents). They are sending me a new unit and told me "Don't worry about it" when I asked if all of the problems would be fixed. The bells and whistles are sweet on the unit (camera, mp3, flashlight) but the basic function is useless! The base maps are pitiful. All of the user fields that you can change to suit your needs revert back to factory settings if you scroll to another page. Magellan told me this was an identified problem and they are working on a firmware fix for everyone to download. I just need to know one thing, how do I send mine back and get a refund? I think I'm going to stick to e-bay and buy an old, cheap but well working Magellan unit.

Triton Tragedy 
2008-01-10
Magellan, you need to get your act together. First you taunt us with the long and repeatedly delayed release of this "ultra" handheld GPS Magellan Triton 2000 Handheld Navigation System. Then you insult our intelligence with your useless, uninformed "Tech Support Staff". Finally, when the unit ships, it is only capable of displaying your location on the base map between interstate highways. Where are the street level maps? When will they be available? Useless, Bad deal. What are you guys thinking.
Tip: Call Magellan tech support BEFORE buying their product.
I'm giving mine back.
