Re: Garmin Oregon. Anybody got one?
Gear Selection Forum
Aaaack! They took away the satellite screen?!? That was the first thing I would look at when heading into deep overgrowth or narrow gorges. (To see if I should leave it on or shut it off due to uselessness and save my batteries) Still, I really, REALLY like the 3D Topo View on the Oregon and Colorado. I've already got Garmins' Mapsource software and Topo Maps of Canada, so I don't want to go with something other than Garmin. (The Topo Canada Mappack is $180.00 plus tax. NOT a bullet I'm willing to bite.)And I don't do TOO much backpacking where I can put myself into a dangerous situation by following a inaccurate GPS. Plus, the High Sensitivity receiver that Garmin is using in the Oregon / Colorado and the 60HCx / 60HCSx is reported to be almost frighteningly sensitive on another forum. They were using the 60H series, so I couldn't ask about the Oregon. Thanx Bill S for your knowledge.
