As we start 2009, new camping gear is being introduced almost daily. Camping equipment manufactures are always pushing the technology limits and coming up with better camping gear. The other day I was at one of my local camping gear stores and saw the new Garmin GPS devices. The Oregon Series by Garmin has some great features.
The Garmin Oregon 200 GPS is a little over 4” tall and 2” wide. It features a 3” 65k TFT touch screen display, 400 x 200 pixel output, and a USB cable for easy downloads. The Oregon 200 is a rugged, touch screen, reliable GPS device. With new programs installed on the device, this is a very user friendly handheld GPS device. The Garmin Oregon 200 GPS costs about $450.00.
The Garmin Oregon 300 GPS handheld device features all the same features of the Oregon 200 but has 384 mb of internal memory, the capability to produce 3-D maps, and a barometric altimeter that monitors weather conditions. The Garmin Oregon 300 GPS device costs about $500.00.
The Garmin Oregon 400T GPS device has the same features of the Oregon 300 with much more! The Oregon 400T has a 400 x 240 pixel output, preloaded topographical map database and a barometric altimeter with an electronic compass.
All of the Garmin GPS devices can be purchased at your local camping equipment stores such as Cabelas, Bass Pro Shops, and Sports Authority.
