After approximately 20 hours of using the Triton 300 in the field, these are my impressions.

1FirmwareSoftware not ready for use. Wait on purchase.
By A. Kao
Nothing but frustration. Works fine for a few hours and then constantly locks up (pressing any button has no effect). I wait for more than 10 minutes and it still does not do anything. Ended up having to reboot by removing the batteries... except removing the batteries causes you to loose the current trail data. This would occur daily. Work fine in the morning and then a mess by the afternoon.

Very poor instruction manual (basically no info and website was useless as well) I'm an technology but I still like to have a lot of reference manual explaining functions that I don't understand.

VantagePoint software was not very good either.

Battery life is horrible. I don't have any other to compare with but leaving it on to record a trail I don't get more than 10hrs of time with a set of alkaline AAs (with back light off of course).

Will be returning this until a few more versions of firmware go by or more likely I will buy a Garmin instead. National Geographic TOPO maps sounded cool but if you can't get the stupid thing to work what is the point?

Purchased 12/2007 tried to update firmware and software but already had current versions.

1Not User Friendly
By Mel
This is my introductory GPS, and I have no idea how to use it. It has already locked up when reviewing the features with the instruction manuel. This product perhaps better for an individual with more experience, but I will be purchasing something more use friendly.
