Flashlight
The Triton has a three LED flashlight located at the top of the receiver. This can be used in
emergency situations when you need quick access to a flashlight. To conserve battery life it is
recommended that you use the flashlight only when needed.
Turning the flashlight on or off.
1.
Press and hold the Flashlight button for at least 4
seconds to turn the flashlight on.
2.
Press and hold the Flashlight button for 4 seconds
again to turn the flashlight off.
Note that the backlight and the flashlight use the same button on
the Magellan Triton. Press the button momentarily to control the
backlight setting, press and hold the button to turn the flashlight
on and off.
Menus
Accessing the features of the Magellan Triton is done through the Main Menu. The
Main Menu
has
three options;

,
Create
and

the corresponding function.

The
Go To Menu
has six options; Waypoint, Place, Trail, Geocache, Route, and Trips.
The
Waypoint
option provides a way to create a Go To route to a waypoint that has been saved
to the Magellan Triton.
The
Place
option is used to select a destination waypoint that has been either preloaded into
the Magellan Triton as part of the internal base map or a destination waypoint found on a
detailed map that has been loaded
on an optional SD card or into the Magellan Triton.
The
Trail
option displays trails that you have saved previously. You can select the trail that you
would like to follow from the list. (A Trail is a saved track.)
The
Geocache
option allows you to select a saved geocache waypoint and use it as the
destination waypoint for a Go To route.
The
Route
option displays routes that you have created previously that you can select from to
activate.
The
Trips
option will be available in a future update. Check the Magellan website at
www.magellangps.com for information on updates to your Magellan Triton.
The
Create Menu
has the same options as the Go To Menu but these are used to create waypoints
and multileg routes that can be saved by the Magellan Triton.
Use the
Waypoint
option to create a waypoint from your present location, by selecting a point
on the map or by entering the coordinates for a known waypoint.
The
Place
option is not available.
