Magellan Triton is expected to be a big hit among hikers and geocachers with its color 2.2″ screen and rugged IPX7 waterproof design. Of course the price will be one of the best selling points for Triton 300. It is only $146 at Amazon, and we bet if you wait a couple months you can get it for even cheaper.

Triton 300 is compatible with National Geographic TOPO maps, and features new Magellan VantagePoint content management software. Another nice convenient feature on the Triton 300 is the fact that it uses two AA batteries.
