OK, While the wife was shopping this afternoon, I came across the
Magellan Tritons, and wondered what they do and if anyone has had much
experience with them. I like the idea that they are waterproof, but
am wondering if I actually have a need for one.

After looking around a bit, and hitting up some discussion forums, I
guess I don't. The wife has a Garmin, if need be, and I really dont'
see anything with the Triton that I can't live without. Unless there's
some special 'marine' edition that the cheap garmin doesn't already
have.

Well, I'm still considering getting a better Garmin, because what I've
come to understand is that they have better chartage, and are actually
a leader in the industry. So, anyone have any suggestions on what
model to get?

If it's a handheld that you're looking for, I have this one:

My hand-held GPS is the same and I love it.

For Tim: You can add their BlueCharts and it will show the water depth
with good accuracy. It's not cheap so figure it into the package if
that's the way you want to go.
