Garmin Oregon 400c
The Garmin Oregon 400 is a WAAS-enabled touchscreen GPS receiver with wireless capability. This unit comes in three versions outlined below, each of which have the same basic features like MicroSD card slot, USB port, electronic compass, barometric altimeter, 3-D map view(on selected maps), picture viewer and more but are each preloaded for individual use. The Oregon 400 series accepts preprogrammed MapSource cards for loading of terrain, water and street maps. It also supports HotFix satellite prediction, uploading of Geocaching.com GPX files, and wireless transfer of tracks, routes, waypoints and geocaches to other Garmin Oregon and Colorado users. These units are also waterproof and designed for outdoor use.

The Oregon is Garmin's latest generation of handheld mapping GPS units, and the company's first handheld model to use a touch screen interface. Available in five different models, the 400t ships with preloaded U.S. Topo maps, has pre-configured profiles for recreation, driving, Geocaching, boating, and fitness, has an electronic compass and altimeter, and can be expanded with additional maps.

The Oregon 400c follows the familiar styling of other Oregon devices with grey plastic and rubber casing. Built to an IPX-7 standard with rubber protection for the unit’s mini-USB port, the Oregon 400c is shock- and water-proof, making it suitable for the rigours of outdoor adventures. The unit’s cleverly designed back cover clamp allows for the attachment of a carabiner.

In terms of features, the Oregon 400c is identical to the Oregon 300 in almost every way. A 3in touch screen eradicates the need for a confusing button layout and provides easy access to the device’s map, electronic compass and other navigation functions. Like the Oregon 300, the Oregon 400c has a microSD slot and enough internal memory to save up to 10,000 user-generated points of interest and 20 tracks.

Unlike the Magellan Triton 2000, the Oregon 400c doesn’t boast an integrated camera or flashlight. Still, the unit provides basic navigational features such as geocaching, location-specific fishing and hunting times, and an electronic compass. The Oregon 400c’s 'Share Wirelessly' function remains our favourite addition: the ability to share routes, waypoints and geocaches between compatible Garmin GPS devices wirelessly.

If you're a seasoned GPS enthusiast who still loves Garmin's older GPSMAP 60CSx and is comfortable with terms like .gpx files and track logs, the Oregon may not be the best fit for you. However, if you're new to GPS and are looking for a good, easy to use, outdoor handheld, the Oregon is a great option for you. The Oregon's ease of use and rich feature set makes outdoor GPS adventures easier than ever.
