Use Magellan Vantage point software to add, store and manage optional maps, tracks, waypoints, routes, geocaches and other user-generated content

Pre-loaded base maps and uploadable detail maps identify major roads, rivers, lakes, cities, and other geographical boundaries, and its SD card slot offers unlimited storage possibilities. Every Triton includes VantagePoint software to manage maps, view saved routes, and more.



Through an exclusive partnership with the National Geographic Society, Magellan Triton series devices are the first and only handheld GPS units configured to directly upload National Geographic's award-winning TOPO! maps.

Customer Reviews

Rating: - Great GPS, terrible documentation
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 ... Read More
Rating: - GOOD PRODUCT....BAD SUPPORT
You can use it only in USA. Just roads maps. Good product...but limited because of the support. I sold it
Rating: - magellan triton 2000
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.
Rating: - Topo maps - not
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.
Rating: - I seriously think Amazon should let me choose ZERO stars
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?
