Use Triton 400 Gps

The Magellan Triton 400 is a palm-sized GPS device you can take with you everywhere you go. It includes maps of the United States and Canada. With the Triton 400, you can create new routes, follow routes or backtrack to paths you have taken before. The Magellan website says that this GPS device is simple to use. It includes navigational buttons, instant access buttons and a menu button that allows ease of use.
