And the full-color display, SD-card compatibility, enhanced features, fast signal acquisition, reliable signal lock and precision positioning make Triton 500 an excellent choice for the advanced navigator.

The smartly designed interface with simple menus and intuitive button and scroll pad control make navigation fun and effortless. The full-color crystal clear display shows all your maps and navigation information in brilliant, easy-to-view graphics.

SD-card compatibility maximizes your navigation capability. Add the optional topographic maps (DiscoverAus Topo), marine cartography and other Magellan certified maps for all your outdoor adventures. Triton is the first handheld GPS to offer raster mapping for Australia. (DiscoverAus NATMAP Raster based on Geoscience 1:250K NATMAPS and DiscoverAus National Parks). These provide the look and feel of a paper map right in the palm of your hand. Both DiscoverAus National Parks and DiscoverAus NATMAP raster comes included in the box.

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 SiRFstarIII 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. (US and Europe Only)

Rugged and waterproof, your Triton 500 is built to withstand intense use, accidental impact 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 travelled. 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: the first name in navigation.
