Tweet

Garmin has released the Garmin Oregon 450t and 450 GPS units for hikers, hunters, campers and explorers.  These two GPS devices provide touch screen control and user waypoints and route information in an off-road setting.

The new Garmin Oregon GPS devices both provide a glove-friendly touch screen display spanning a three-inch viewable area.  Since they’ll be entering the wild, they’re designed to handle the full range of weather conditions for up to 16 hours of use.  The Garmin Oregon 450t offers a greater range of map detail (including topographic mapping), while both provide a birds-eye view of trails, rural roads, rivers, lakes and more.

The Garmin Oregon maps are fully customizable, allowing users to mark route and landmark information to be stored on the map for later reference.  Beyond the standard map functionality, the Garmin Oregon 450t and 450 GPS units will also feature a compass, a stopwatch and an elevation meter.  While the new Garmin Oregon units were first shown today, no information about pricing or shipping dates has been made available.
