Magellan Triton 500 Handheld GPS Receiver

I bought the Magellan Trition 500 because it provides many features for a comparable low price. Due to this, I considered it initially a good deal.

However, my main purpose for this GPS device was to use it for geotagging.
My summary for this is: If you need a GPS device for geotagging, then don't buy the Magellan Trition!!
It has a very small logging memory.
Even so, I inserted a 1GByte SD card, the Magellan Triton 500 is not able to store the GPS track in that big memory. It only is able to store it in the tiny internal memory. If you drive by care, then this internal memory is usually full within 90 minutes!

Hence, it is not useful for geotagging!

After some time I bought an additional topo map from Magellan direct. This top map is not very useful. It provides only a minimum of information. The quality of the Maggelan topo map is very poor. I don't know if the National Geography map is better.

Well, this is all I can say about the Magellan Trition 500.

- The general features are OK (compared with the price).
- Geotagging does not work well.
- Customer support is not existing.
