Magellan Triton 400

Pros

The accuracy seems to be good.

Cons

One needs to know the basics before you use the Triton. I didn't. There was not a definition of terms and the conventions take a lot of getting used to. I read the entire users manual twice and still am confused after trying all week.

Summary

If and when I get used to the Triton 400, I may change my rating, but thus far it is a very difficult device to start using with little knowledge of waypoints, geocaches, etc. The instructions on how to use the thing are pitiful for a novice like me.

Pros

Nice bright display, quick to acquire satellites, easy to use tracks and trails. On line FAQ helps since instructions are useless.

Cons

Instructions pretty much useless. Even after several conversations with tech support I still cannot get most maps to display. A battery hog, does not get the 10 hours advertised. Mini buttons a pain to use. Route planning difficult.

Summary

Pros

easy to read
very easy to load maps.. just put them on a sd card and your on your way. no need to hook up to computer.
very accurate..
easy to use once you update to 1.78 firmware

Cons

battery lasts on average about 8 to 10 hours.
before the 1.78 firmware it was harder to move around in the menus..

Summary

i got this for geocaching and with the geocaching feature it does just that. i had the garmin legend and it just stoped working one day so i bought this one.
