Magellan has just dropped an announcement that they will be launching the new Triton GPS receivers in the near future, totaling half a dozen. All of them will come with a full-color touchscreen (hello, fingerprints!), but certain units will feature barometers, 2 megapixel camera with LED flashlights, and even US maps courtesy of National Geographic. The Triton 2000 is the top-of-the-line model, featuring all the possible options in addition to an SD memory card slot, a speaker/microphone combo, and a 2.7" QVGA display. The Triton 500 is a mid-range unit that lacks a camera and comes with a smaller 2.2" display, while the Triton 200 is the cheapest of the lot that lacks even the SD slot and barometer. The Triton 200, 500, and 2000 are all slated to retail for $499, $249, and $129 respectively and will see a September release date in the US.
