Garmin Oregon 450

Visualise it, and go there!

The Oregon 450 is packed with all the top of the range features that would expect in an top-of-the-range off-road product.

Exciting and Reliable Navigation

• The Oregon has a 10 000 trackpoint tracklog. In other words it will create a track of where you have been. You can view this track on the Oregon and track back to where you started.
• You can store up to 200 tracks on the Oregon. You can load these tracks to your computer and view them on a map. You can also load tracks that others have created onto the gps.
• If you want to go somewhere and you want to stop at various places, you can create a route with all your stops along the way. You can then ask it to find the shortest route to from start to finish, if you prefer. You can save up to 200 (yes - two hundred) such routes for future use. This is a real time and fuel saver.
• The Oregon 450 will navigate on the road with a minimum of fuss. Just type in your where you want to go, and it will take you there by showing the route on the screen. It beeps multiple times to warn you of an approaching turn.
• If the traffic on the highway gets too much, you can ask the Oregon to avoid highways. You can also ask it to avoid toll roads if you prefer.
• What happens if you take a short-cut or even the wrong turn? The Oregon will automatically create a new route (re-route) for you. No mess, no fuss.
• The Oregon will allow you to preview the route it is going to take before you even leave, so that you can confidently see where it is going to take you.
• Once you have been to a place there is no need to remember the address again, just store it as a favourite, and navigate back to it at any time. You can store up to 2000 favourites.

Outstanding Outdoor Features

• It is light-weight (193 grams with batteries - about the same as an orange) and fits in the palm of your hand. That together with the touch-screen allows for comfortable one-handed operation.
• As you can see in the picture, the bright touch screen is very big on this unit 7.6cm (3 inch) diagonal, making it  comfortable to use, day or night - with backlighting on.
• You do not have to worry about the weather with it being water-proof and also dustproof.
• Deep in a donga? Dont worry about satellite reception, with it's high sensitivity antenna the Oregon will not dissapoint.
• The built-in electronic compass gives you bearing while standing still. A tilt-compensated 3-axis compass means that you do not have to hold the unit in a horizontal position for the compass to work. A real advantage when using the Oregon together with a paper map.
• The barometric altimeter is useful for watching both height above sea level and atmospheric pressure. Climbers and sailors may find this feature very useful.
• For all those Geocaching fans out there, this gps is ready for the adventure. Just download the cache from geocaching.com and go.
• Want to have some fun playing an outdoor game? The Oregon caters for your needs too.
