Extremely poor implementation. Don't buy it!
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. Reminds me of WIN 98. It crashes often.
* SLOW!!! It is especially slow when you switch to the map screen, the main one you use.
* No street maps
* "Nearest cache/waypoint" feature does not work. For some reason, it consistently points me to waypoints/caches at a park about 5 miles away as the closest even if I move around to different locations within the range. Can see waypoints nearby (across the street in one test), but it ignores them.
* Interface with PC is slow. Loaded my Garmin side by side with the Magellan. Garmin took about 10-15 seconds to load 900+ waypoints. Same load on the Magellan took ~2 minutes.
* Magellan on-line help SUCKS! There support page does not even list the Tritons yet in many of the drop down lists. FAQ's are more marketing material then help.

I got a reply back on my post to their support email. It took them three days to respond.

* Issue: Triton is not listed on their support drop downs. Response: It is a new unit and they have not updated the web page. "Wait for some time until this unit gets updated" (Last I checked, that would be a one day job for a competent programmer.)

* Issue: "nearest" function not working on geocaches. Response: please call tech support regarding this issue. (Call to tech support number refers you back to the web page.)

* Message from tech support was obviously from someone who stuggles with writing English. Grammar errors and typos.



I wish to return it back ...
not there is program for this thing. AT ALL that (only we and Eu) I wish Africa, east of Middel, do not have it. I do not know why they are selling the gps while they do not have a program for. I wish if you bought Garmen..


Disappointed Magellan Fan
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
Magellan, you must obtain with your action. In the first place you taunt we with the long release and "ultra" repeatedly in delay of this navigation system held in hand of GPS held Magellan Tritone 2000 in hand. Then insulted our intelligence with your "staff of the useless and not informed technical support". In order to conclude, when the unit sends, he is only able of visualization of your position on the low program between the main roads from one be to the other. Where they are the programs of the level of the way? When they will be available? Useless and defective transaction. That what is you to think about the types. Tip: It calls the technical support of Magellan Before the purchase of their product. I am giving posterior mines.
