Instructions for a Magellan Triton 300 GPS

The Magellan Triton 300 GPS features a compass function so you can tell north from south at any time.

The Magellan Triton 300 is a handheld GPS unit designed to withstand the rigors of outdoor adventure. It is waterproof and has a 2.2-inch full color display for viewing maps, menus and navigation screens. There is also a compass so that you can see the direction you are traveling. The Triton 300 comes loaded with waypoints, which are points on the map that act like addresses. You may also add your own waypoints at any time. You can route to one location or make a trip with several destinations. Also, you can use the backtrack feature to get directions back to your starting point.
