REI is blowing out the Magellan Triton 2000 for $ 300, compared to the regular price of $ 500. I had a $ 215 dividend burning a hole in my pocket, so I just picked up the Triton.

The primary reason to buy it was the capability to download NG Topo maps directly to the unit. I just came home, installed everything under Vista, and updated the software and firmware. I downloaded a large map of western Washington onto a 8 GB SD card and still have room to spare.

This looks like a sweet unit. We will see how it works.

Nice, I think I may update to a newer GPS unit some day, we were in NY and our current unti got all twitterpated around the Twin Towers site! :mad: it was telling us to "turn left" or "turn right" onto streets that no longer exsisted! :mad: we were lost for around 20-30 minutes! :mad:
