Features of the Magellan Triton
2.7” color touch screen – The brilliant colors and touchscreen controls provide an easy-to-read
display that makes selecting functions as easy as touching the screen.
Ease-of-use – Simple menus and an intuitive interface makes using the Magellan Triton easy for
first time GPS receiver users while still keeping all the functions experienced users expect to see.
Routes and tracks – Create a single leg Go To route, a route with multiple destinations or just use
the backtrack function to follow your footsteps back to your point of origin.
3-meter accuracy – The SiRFstarIII™ GPS chipset and an integrated multidirectional antenna
offer superior GPS accuracy. The Magellan Triton is also WAAS and EGNOS-capable, taking
advantage of the Wide Area Augmentation System for improved accuracy.
3-axis electronic compass (Triton 2000 only) – Get accurate compass readings while standing
still, even without a GPS fix, and no matter how you hold the receiver. (GPS receivers without an
electronic compass require that you are moving before the compass shows your correct heading.)
Barometer (Triton 2000 only) – Sensitive barometric pressure readings offer advanced notice of
changing weather conditions.
Built-in map – A built-in base map of the continental United States and Canada display major
highways, city centers, bodies of water and much more. Magellan Triton’s purchased in Europe
may have local area base maps preloaded.
Ability to add detailed maps – Access optional detail maps for marine cartography, topographic
maps, as well as feature-packed National Geographic maps from an SD card that can be installed
in the Magellan Triton or, for the Magellan Triton 300, loaded onto the internal memory.
