  1. I just noticed that New York and Long Island is available here now: http://www.maps4me.net/usa/2/ Great free topo vector maps with streets and poi's. There is a small one time registration fee (-$10) for large map files.

     

    You can view the NG Topo map for your area here: http://www.topo.com/explore

     

    This program is very simple to make your own street maps with OSM image downloads: http://www.tritonforum.com/forum/viewtopic...f=32&t=2933

  2. That is, the actual point on the face of the earth is 380 meters away, on a heading of 86.26 degrees (almost due West) from the point you select on the satellite image.

     

    This is not especially good, even for someone who plays as poorly as I do. ;)

     

    ...ken...

    I'm confused........do you meen plotting the waypoints or your golf shot :unsure:

  3. Triton 400 on up can do both with the help of custom image maps of any golf course on the earth that is covered with good imagery from google earth or msn (bing). Or as Ken pointed out, just create and load the waypoints on any good gps and you will have your yardage help. These points could easily be created using google earth, then converted to load into whatever unit. The image that TotemLake provided is a good example of what you would get with your own custom maps for the Triton. I don't know the coverage of imagery that the Delorme could provide. I have checked out a few of the golf course map sites and they seem to be limited to select areas and popular courses only.

  4. Use the up arrow then center select key when using the coordinate editor menu. This will allow you to select the coordinate system to use for entering. You may also want to set the gps coordinate system to your desired Lat/Long accuracy by going to menu>view>settings>navigation. This is with the latest firmware version 1.72.

     

    The backlight eats up batteries. Set the backlight timer or turn off the backlight as needed.

  5. The upgrade did put data fields on the main screen but didn't address any other issues. The Triton is now horribly out-dated and fatally flawed.

    The update took care of several issues. I notice from this forum that Garmin and Delorme have their share of problems too. All electronic gadgets have bugs and things that don't work as you would like them to. It comes down to what you can accept and personal preference/opinion. I have no problems with my Tritons, just a few minor features I would like to see added.
