Opinions on Magellan Triton 500?

[Ratz and company]

😀
I amlooking for a way to say the government by spending my stimulas check on a new GPS. I am tempted by an electric compass and the new Triton looks promising. It costs about $200. My first ( and current) GPS is a Magellan 315 so I am not 100% loyal to Magellan but I am sort of loyal to my “first” brand. Sort of like if you are born a Ford person you are always a Ford person. Thanks for opinions. RATZ

I have heard NOTHING but BAD NEWS about the Triton series. But then again, I hear a lot of Bad Stuff about the Garmin Colorado, but I sure love mine, so I guess there is a YMMV edge to that.

I have also heard some very bad things about all the new triton models. There is a forum dedicated to the trition series, so you could read about the issues people are having.

I too wanted to help out the gov. and decided to spend my stimulus check on a Triton 2000. had it a grand total of 48 hours before taking it back to gander mountain. most of the issues others are having were 100 percent true. the ‘goto’ button did nothing. it crashed alot and i got some fatal errors when i would try to look at the geocaching page info. the 3 axis compass was very cool however, along with the camera. but i think i will give it a year or so before i try it again. i am very loyal to mag. and will not buy a garmin, but this whole ordeal almost pushed to the dark side. 😈
