Magellan gps Triton 300 series Jamed up; Reads when turned on ; Internal Error Your Triton has encountered an unexpected error and must shut down. Please wait while your data is saved.

This is possibly an issue with the software the gps uses to work. You could try doing a Firmware update by connecting it to a computer and going to the Magellan website to access the update.

Try reinstalling the software or download the latest update

Definitely an internal memory error. The unit has to be reflashed. If under warranty go to Magellan.

Your problem stems from a corrupt software file in the internal memory of the GPS. Unfortunately, the problem is too complicated for you to solve. I really do not know of any people beside Magellan that repair the 200. The Jungle Ghost repairs 300 400 500 1500 and 2000's and maybe he can help you out. Check with www.jungleghost.com

This problem is caused by a corrupted software file on the internal memory. The chip has to be reflashed. If under warranty return the unit to Magellan.

This is a common problem when you enter geocaches or Waypoints in which you DID NOT SCRUB the html code. Start Deleting Geocaches until you find the bad one and all will return to normal.

Also investigate a program called GSAK and use its stripper before you load the geocaches.

Hello :

First try new batteries . If that didn't work , then I recommend you to reset your Triton . Resetting can solve errors and faults that occurs in your device .

Try this for resetting :

1:Using the stylus, tap "Main Menu" and select "View."
2:Tap "Settings," and select "Restore Factory Settings." You will be given the option to confirm this action. Be sure that you want to reset to the settings that the GPS was built with. This action is irreversible.
3:Tap "Confirm," and the unit will begin to reset.

For that you need a thin object (such as a paper clip)

Don't use this method on other Magellan models .

PLEASE DON'T FORGET TO RATE !

This is a problem with the internal memory files. They have been corrupted It is too complicated to fix yourself. If the is out of warranty, the Jungle Ghost at http://www.jungleghost.com/repair_service.shtml has a repair service.

Jaime, What happened here is that somehow you copied files from a firmware upgrade that was different than the upgrade you have on the machine originally and these mixed up files are causing the INTERNAL ERROR.

Unless your are a software expert you will not be able to recover your GPS. There are some solutions which recommend that you turn the unit into the development mode and then copy the firmware version to the GPS. But people who recommend this method also warn you that you could turn your unit into a "BRICK".

So either return the unit to Magellan for an exchange or go to your browser and look up the jungle ghost repair center.
