Garmin Oregon 400t GPS receiver

So you fancy a spot of Geocaching, but at the same time don't want to actually do any real thinking about it? Garmin hopes it has just the answer with the Garmin Oregon 400t. But is this the must-have GPS for treks? We head out and about to find out....

Plenty of features, geocaching app that lets you send details straight from site

Screen is too dim in bright conditions

Okay, so it costs £400 which might put some off the Garmin Oregon 400t, however it’s so packed with features that we can't see why you wouldn't want this if you are heading off into the wilds, be it Berkshire or remotest Africa. The interface is very...

Garmin Oregon 400t review

In October 2008, the 400t was launched as top model of the Garmin Oregon series. New for this type of GPS handhelds is the touchscreen, taking things even a step further than the Colorado series. The amount of buttons is now limited to one; the on/off...

Garmin Oregon 400t

What's It For? We've already carried a first look at Garmin's Oregon 300 GPS unit and the 400t is very similar, albeit with some added fe...

In some ways the Oregon 400t is massively impressive. The interface isn't perfect, but the touch screen and icon-based menu are far better than other GPS units we've used. We do have reservations over the longterm durability of the screen, however only...

Garmin Oregon 400c

Sail the seven seas without getting lost.

Coastal maps, microSD slot, rugged casing, wireless sharing function

Suitable only for a small audience, Garmin doesn't provide similarly priced options for land-based recreation

The Oregon 400c is a reasonably priced option if you need detailed coastal maps. The inclusion of a microSD slot provides adequate room for expansion.

Garmin Oregon 400t

There are plenty of good reasons that GPS manufacturers have sold tens of millions of personal navigation devices: Many of us are directionally challenged, and guys like me love our gadgets but hate to stop to ask for directions. Generally, If you're...

Sensitive receiver. Quick satellite acquisition. Multiple profiles for various outdoor activities. Highly configurable. IPX7-rated waterproof. Integrated with geocaching.com, a Web site that tracks geocaches.

Expensive. Main Menu has too many choices.

Albeit pricey, this handheld touch-screen GPS device makes an excellent hiking companionand a fun gadget for high-tech treasure hunting.

If you're debating about getting an Oregon, your decision will likely rest with the screen. Those with the highest praise for the Oregon will enjoy it because of the touchscreen. Those with the highest criticism of the Garmin Oregon will look elsewhere...
