Hey Randy,

Thanks for the input; I certainly wasn’t aware of that. Like other users, I assumed “capable” meant enabled. I’ll try and see if I can get someone from Magellan to comment on the issue.

Let me know if you hear anything from Magellan or about getting SirfTech to work on on the Triton 400 and 500s.

(See www.tritonforum.com for a lot of discussion on this topic.) We have been trying to get the company to address this problem but to no avail. Also you might point out that you can create your own maps and download them for free. I am very pleased with the Triton if I could get the WAAS enabled.
