Garmin Oregon 400t Gets Reviewed: Outdoor Adventurers Rejoice
Garmin’s Oregon 400t is available at Amazon now, and at a reduced price of $479, but is it a worthy buy? According to PC Mag the answer is a definite yes, garnering itself an Editor’s Choice award in a recent review. Very similar to the Garmin Colorado handheld, the Oregon 400t finds itself different in having a touchscreen, more attractive design especially without the external GPS receiver, and greater usability.
The key question is how well it works out in the field. To put it as plainly as possible, it works well. The built-in GPS receiver is very sensitive, tracking 6-8 satellites simultaneously and finding a fix in a matter of seconds. And when taking out geocaching the Oregon 400t brought the reviewer to within 10 feet of actual geocache positions downloaded from geocaching.com. It does have an automotive setting and all kinds of map options so it can be used in more urban ways, but it really is more of an outdoor adventure device and a great buy at that.
