Only the two most expensive models will have touch screen and will come with a data cable.

Anyone have a Triton yet?
The only one in stock anywhere in SLC is the 300, and its only got a 10mb non-expandable memory :smilies27
I've read a couple of online reports from those that got the upgraded models, not good so far. One store had to send the all back to Magellan because of a bug, and they all showed up without a USB cable... after dozens of phonecalls to vendors, Magellan didn't even have cables available yet?? Sounds like their customer service was really lacking too
I'm really interested in either the Magellan Triton 400/500 or the Garmin eTrex Legend HCx/Vista HCx. My instinct says to stick with the Garmin, I've had my eTrex since they were new on the market, been a great unit overall. However, the Nat. Geo. map capability of the Triton units is VERY appealing

24k maps as I understand it. The 400/500/1500/2000 units have SD cards, the 200/300 has just 10mb built in memory.
There was some talk of using arial imagery for mapping too, but it was just speculation to my knowledge.

So they are not currently ready? They are currently in stock at quite a few vendors, there is just little (or bad) feedback about them thusfar.
I saw in one of those Costco coupon books that they hand you as you are leaving, that Costco will have the 500 on sale for $150! But they do not have any in stock yet.
