Places Waypoints

Places
Places are waypoints that are part of the base map that is installed in your Magellan Triton. These
waypoints can’t be deleted or duplicated but they can be used as the destination for a Go To route or
a multileg route. Places are categorized as roads, world maps, waterways or city centers. When
searching for a Place waypoint, you will need to select the category to narrow down the search.
Place waypoints are also found in the optional mapping software available from Magellan. (Check the
Magellan website at www.magellangps.com for availability of additional detailed maps.)
