"Detailed topo interface does not work"
Pros: Price, screen resolution, form factor
Cons: Battery life, poor software interface
Summary: Magellan and at least one major retailer (REI, which devoted an entire catalog page to Triton with the caption "Behold") thought it had a winner with a GPS that could finally download USGS topo maps. DeLorme did this last year with a clunky interface and very pricey maps, but now, with the ability to download the very popular National Geographic Topo maps, this was supposed to be the breakthrough moment. Only problem is, the Topo interface does not work. Magellan has been scrambling to get the Tritons out before Christmas, and it looks like National Geo didn't do quite enough beta testing on the interface. I tried it on two different PCs, fast ones with lots of memory, to try to load maps onto the Triton 300. Topo just ended up crashing every time (at least my DeLorme works, even though it is a bit clunky). Best bet--wait until Magellan and Topo figure this one out. I don't have time for interface issues, so mine goes back to the store tomorrow.
