SD-card compatibility maximizes your navigation capability. Add an unlimited amount of marine cartography, topographic maps and other content to navigate all your outdoor adventures. Plus, Triton is the first handheld GPS to offer compatibility with National Geographic maps. These highly detailed nation-wide topographic maps are based on USGS 1:24.000 series quads, offer seamless scalability with customizable multi-layer overlays and much more. Exclusive VantagePoint software enables easy management of maps, user generated content, updates and upgrades on your PC. View saved routes and tracks. Customize them for future trips or create new ones. Triton is designed for precision navigation, offering the fastest GPS positioning acquisition in the industry with the SiRFstar III chipset. An integrated high-sensitivity antenna provides reliable signal reception even in heavy cloud cover, canyons or deep woods. Built-in signal augmentation reception (WAAS/EGNOS) provides 3-meter accuracy. Rugged and waterproof, your Triton 500 is built to withstand intense use, accidental impacts and immersion in one meter of water for up to 30 minutes (IPX-7). It's ready to guide you on any adventure. The advanced features are also easy to use. View the elevation profile for the trail ahead (or any route) or even the track you just traveled. See the precise time of sunrise/sunset any day of the year. Get a calculation of the best hunting and fishing time. And much more. Triton is built on the experience of hundreds of thousands of GPS users and nearly 20 years of precision positioning technology from Magellan. Triton 500: find inspiration in exploration! |
