Thanks Brent. Great info! I’m planning to post a “first impressions” of the 1500 Monday.

I just returned home after a visit to my local “Academy Sports &
Outdoors” store, and thought I’d let you all know that they have the
Triton 200 in stock. I looked at it briefly and I must say it has a
very nice-looking, crisp, bright screen. The base-map seemed to only
have Interstate highways on it, and scrolled rather slowly, but smoothly.
I tried the “Go to Geocache” button to see what that would do, but
since there were none loaded, it didn’t really do much.
I asked the manager if they were expecting to receive the other
models, and he said he didn’t know, that this one just showed up one
day. They are selling it for $130. I also asked him to open the box
and we confirmed that the cable was included.
According to the Magellan website, the cable is supposed to be sold separately, so maybe the 200′s got the cables that are missing from the 1500′s!
I also noticed that the specs and FAQs are now listed under the
“product support” tabs for each unit.
The weight is listed as 6.6 oz with batteries, and battery
life is listed as only 10 hours!
