What's Hot

Rugged casing, Vantage Point software, AA batteries

What's Not

Odd USB connection design, no expandable memory

The Final Word

Costing the same as a low-end automotive GPS unit, the Triton 200 forgoes a touch screen as well as turn-by-turn and voice navigation in order to specialise in detailed mapping for outdoor activities. However, without the expandable memory required for detailed maps, the Triton 200 doesn’t provide the functionality necessary for more complex hiking and geocaching adventures.
