I have been using a Panasonic DMc-ZS7 point and shoot with Geotagging and it has worked great. Hope this helps. NS

I thought I would leave some feedback on the Triton 2000. A few issues I found so far one is the GOTO button does not work when you hold it down for 2 to 3 seconds for a quick GOTO per the user guide. Also when you place the curser over a waypoint in the map screen and press enter no waypoint information that was entered comes up . And last when you move the curser away from your current position on the map screen it does not display the distance on the screen. All these were very useful in the Explorist. I called Tech support and they said all these issues and more were going to be fixed at the next firmware release from what I understand will be in the next few weeks. Anyone else found these.

Was this a newly purchased DirectRoute or one you were using in an eXplorist? It's not of much use if it won't street route. That's really the main point. Street routing is the main point of a hand held? 10 MB is not a lot for detail maps. The Explorist 210 has 22 MB, for heaven's sake! Seems like a step backward. A handheld is not for street routing. It is primarily for outdoor use. If you want street routing you use a vehicle navigation unit. Like mixing apples and oranges. Wow! Silly me! I didn't know a handheld "is not for street routing." I've been successfully using my eXplorist 500 with DirectRoute for both street routing and offroad for almost two years now. I like being able to use the same unit for both purposes. When you loaded the DirectRoute maps to the Triton, did it at least show the line from your present location to the cache on the map screen? At least that way the maps would be somewhat useful (But still not worth purchasing for geocaching purposes.) edited to add: I have a suction cup mount for the 500 that has held up for as long as I've had the unit. I was concerned when I got it that the screen wouldn't be big enough, but that's not been a problem at all. As for storage of the maps, changing SD cards takes about 20 seconds. It would do everything but the turn by turn directions.

Was this a newly purchased DirectRoute or one you were using in an eXplorist? It's not of much use if it won't street route. That's really the main point. I purchased it last Spring. Its Direct Route V3 DVD. To bad they can't make some firmware change to make the street routing work. The graphics on the map I uploaded look great.

I just purchased a 300 at Sports Authority . They have 25% all handheld GPS's plus there is a 10% discount coupon in the newspaper flyers. I know it was for FRI, SAT, Not sure about today. It did come with cable and software CD. Real simple to use Not alot of menu items. It has 50MB of internal memory but only 10 MB is set for map uploads. I was able to upload maps from Topo 3D and also Direct route 3 trough Vantage Point. The only thing is that it will not street route the maps from Direct Route it will point to point route. The map graphics look much better than the explorist. Maybe I'll get a 400 or 500 with SD capability when available. a 10MB map is good size though.
