The Garmin Handheld GPS Oregon 400c Receiver for Outdoor Excursions

GPS receivers are becoming less expensive as well as more technically sophisticated, as the scope of the product keeps expanding. The Garmin Handheld GPS Oregon 400c Receiver is the latest offering from Garmin. The unit features a touch screen which is precisely three inches in diagonal length. The screen is also readable under direct sunlight.

The touch screen of the Oregon 400c is protected with a protective covering. This prevents the screen from cracking if the unit is dropped. The software used in the Oregon 400c is very innovative and yet easy to use. The Colorado 400c is a rugged receiver and can be used for any type of adventure. It also is water proof.

If you boat or fish in coastal waters of the USA and the Bahama's you will benefit from the bluechart G2 preloaded in the Garmin Handheld GPS Oregon 400c. It is just as beneficial on land as on the water. Take it with you on any excursion and be confident it will fit your needs.

Just like its predecessor, data can be shared in a wireless manner between similar units. This makes it easier to share information regarding the way points and points of interest to friends. One other feature which has found its place in the Garmin Oregon 400c Receiver is the support for Geocaching GPX files. This in turn eliminates the need for manually entering the coordinates and roaming around with paper print outs of the locality.

The Garmin handheld GPS also features a picture viewer so that photos can be shared with loved ones. Besides being slim, it is easily hand held and also fits well into a pocket if so desired. It's size makes it convenient to carry and use without being cumbersome.

The Garmin Handheld GPS Oregon 400c receiver includes the patented HotFix prediction algorithm as well as WAAS. The Oregon 400c gives positional data even under adverse conditions like heavy tree cover of deep canyons.

The compass which has been integrated into the Garmin handheld GPS receiver is electronic in nature and information with regards to the bearing can be noted down even when the unit is held still. The integrated barometer ensures that even the minutest pressure variation can be recorded. Graphic plots can be drawn using the different values of the barometer. This enables the user to check the weather which may vary from previous reports. A facility for inserting Micro SD cards is also provided in the Garmin Handheld GPS Colorado 400c unit. Preset maps using the revolutionary MapSource card are available for purchase and can easily be inserted and integrated into the receiver.

With the advanced capabilities of the Garmin Handheld GPS Oregon 400c reciever you can explore all those out of the way places you always wanted to go. The Oregon 400c will please even the most discriminating.
