The Triton has a big 2.7-inch (diagonally) full-color touchscreen display, and a rich array of multimedia features. Use the Triton 1500 to view photos and listen to MP3 files via its embedded speaker or headphone jack.

An integrated speaker and microphone let you record audio files to associate with geographic locations

Accurate Bearings
A simple-to-use, 3-axis electronic compass delivers stationary heading and bearing at any altitude—without having to be horizontal to the ground, even in uneven terrain and high altitudes. An embedded barometer tracks atmospheric pressure changes to give more accurate altitude readings and indicate changes in weather. An embedded LED flashlight helps you find your way at night.

Topo Maps
First handheld GPS compatible with National Geographic TOPO! maps
vantage point
Use Magellan Vantage point software to add, store and manage optional maps, tracks, waypoints, routes, geocaches and other user-generated content
Incredible Map Versatility
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. TOPO! Maps provide five layers of the best maps available—from National Geographic Atlas maps to the most detailed USGS topographic maps. View the maps in 3D on your PC, select the map areas you want, and upload them to your Magellan Triton—the industry's easiest-to-use handheld navigation device!

Takes a Licking
Rugged and waterproof to IPX-7 standards, the Triton 2000 defeats harsh environments; it can withstand a drop to concrete and immersion in one meter of water for up to 30 minutes. Easily replaceable AA batteries ensure you'll always have power when you need it most, while its integrated antenna enables clear reception—even in heavy cloud cover and deep canyons.
