Fundamentals 8
The Trail option provides a way for you to save your current track (a record of your travels since
the last time track was cleared) as a route that you can use again to follow your current
journey.
The Geocache option allows you to add new geocache locations from your present position, by
selecting a point on the map or by entering the coordinates of a known geocache.
The Route option is used to create a route with multiple legs. These routes generally begin at
your current location and go to a series of waypoints that could have been created and saved
in the Magellan Triton from earlier trips, or waypoints that are available from the base map or
an optional detailed map.
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 View Menu has options for many of the support functions and tools found in the Magellan Triton.
The Local Info option provides access to information about the best hunting and fishing times
as well as solar and lunar rise and set times for your current location.
The Profiles option is used to customize the settings of the Magellan Triton for a particular
activity; hiking, marine use or geocaching.
The Maps option displays a list of the base maps and detail maps (if any optional detail maps
are installed), that can be used.
The Media option contains the functions for taking and viewing photographs and movie clips.
Other functions of the Media option are creating audio clips and playing MP3 music files.
Use Settings to access navigation settings, adjust volume and brightness, select connectivity,
