Welcome to a Special GPS Store. My name is Ed a.k.a. Dua Ma Rung [Mr. Jungle Ghost] and I
have been a "Tracker" and "Manhunter" for over 55 years. I am
involved with Law Enforcement and SAR to this present day.
About My Organization: Over the past several years my
organization has been testing and upgrading the Magellan Triton Navigation GPS
Series. We have been using the knowledge that our company learned from testing the
Magellan Triton Series for Search and Rescue Organizations (SAR), State Marine and LE
Authorities. We supply to our users reliable, accurate and dependable GPS
equipment. Our technical advice and support with our testing staff are unequaled
in the USA. My organization has gained and earned recognition as experts in
for the Magellan Triton GPS Series.
| First of all, let me say that we only sell the Magellan Factory Units that meet full factory specifications. This has resulted in our returning to our Distribution System 4 out of 10 products. It is similar to picking the 1:100,000 sniper rifle barrel. So all units we sell are the "Best of the Best". |
All our GPS packages are Reconfigured, Tested and Firmware Upgraded before shipment. We have sold hundreds to Search and Rescue and Law Enforcement Organizations, mountain bikers, hikers, geocache specialists, back country explorers and mariners. We are proud that our units are used in "life threatening" situations by Trackers - EMS Squads - Fire Departments - and "Ground Pounders" who also have to maintain "crime scene preservation" areas, do "grid searches" and the like.
The Magellan Triton Series is ahead of its time with so many features and benefits.
All units shipped have been:
You can use Magellan's VantagePoint (Software included with the GPS) to make your own routes, geocaches, waypoints, destinations and trails on these maps.
If you are looking for a great GPS for Search and Rescue, and Law Enforcement that is used by Police and County EMS, Trackers and Ground Pounder Support and can also be used for Orienteering, Geocaching, Marine, and Hiking then this is the equipment for you. These are the GPS packages that offers you the MAXIMUM in reliability, dependability and accuracy. Search and Rescue and Law Enforcement personnel demand the best equipment for their work since it involves "saving lives" situations. These are the units that they prefer.
Visit our store for comparisons and to see what GPS packages for our outdoor sports activities.
By the way, did you know that we are the only supplier of a World TOPO Basemap. Now you can go "AROUND THE WORLD" with full confidence in your GPS.

GARMIN OREGON 550T VERSUS OUR SPECIAL MAGELLAN TRITON 2000 ..."Last

Never run VP and TEX at the same time. TEX requires the device drivers in VP to communicate with the GPS. If you can see your GPS using VP then Version 1.2.0 will work. After installing the program will automatically update to the most recent 1.2.1 version after the initial start up. If you want good files you must make "SuperQuads" and TEX MUST ALWAYS BE ATTACTED TO THE INTERNET TO WORK. The DVD only contains the 1:100,000 scale files and they are terrible. |
