The Oregon has everything the Colorado has. They are some cool little units It has everything EXCEPT a full size SD slot... It has a micro SD card slot...

SilentButDeadly Report post Posted August 16, 2008 I just looked at an Oregon 400 today at SW, it was totally awesome. much more friendly than the Colorado, but VERY spendy, also consider that it doesn't have radio ability. And AZRYAN is right about the micro SD, you'd need to buy SD inserts to put the Micro cards into... Why can't I get a phone/radio/GPS/dog tracker combo??? I'd be willing to schill out some dough for something like that. T "I might just blow the big chunk of cash on the Garmin Colorado.

Snapshot Report post Posted August 16, 2008 Good points on those GPS. I have been looking into the Garmin Colorado also. I have an old Garmin 40 and it is o.k but am looking to upgrade with all the topo features. I Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BASS Report post Posted August 17, 2008 Doesn't the Oregon have 3D maps on it? That would be pretty cool to help find natural funnels and such. But those color screens eat through batteries fast from the ones I've used. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But those color screens eat through batteries fast from the ones I've used. It does have the 3D view also...It is a nifty little unit...and like SBD said it is very user friendly...it is very intuitive, everything is where you would think it would be on that unit.
