GPS maker Magellan has announced its new Triton series of feature-laden handheld GPS receivers. The line of six Triton GPSs all feature color touchscreen inferfaces and IPX-7 waterproofing standards, meaning the units can handle immersion in one meter of water for 30 minutes, and are designed to bundle together features and capabilities which appeal to a broader range of outdoor enthusiasts. The Triton series are also compatible with National Geographic’s Topo series of outdoor recreation maps, which cover all 50 states and run the gamut from atlas-style maps to USGS surveys—the maps can be layered on the Tritons for what Magellan calls a “best-in-class mapping experience.”
