Magellan Triton 1500, new from the Triton series got a short review recently and apparently the reviewer was not wow’ed with that GPS receiver handheld. The hardware wasn’t all that poor except the not-so-bright screen. But the software could be improved in many ways the review says - specially when it is faced high amounts of documents:

…I transferred 120 geocaches near my sister’s house to the unit yesterday. that was apparently ample to bring the Triton to its knees, resulting in very sluggish behavior and thereupon the screen locking up…

However whether you were lucky decent to receive the sync cable

in your box you would probably really like the National Geographic TOPO maps that device can display:

This is where the unit really shines. Despite any problems it may have, it’s awesome having USGS topos on your GPS screen. Compare the images below [right], showing roughly what you would see on a Triton with National Geographic TOPO! maps (left) versus what you would see on a Garmin 60CSX running Garmin MapSource TOPO U.S. It’s not quite at the same scale, but it should be decent to give you an concept of the difference.
