I'm looking to sell a 1yr old Garmin Oregon 200 that has my geocaching name engraved on the top. the engraving is not really visible unless you really look for it. The touchscreen has always had a screen protector on and is in perfect condition. Anyway, it has City Navigator 2010 loaded on the SD card. I've lost the DVD, but I have the unlock code written down. What would a good asking price be for it? I'm planning to safely sell it on eBay.

Oh what fun this is..Already have found a few,,but need to know what is a good Touchscreen GPS. Gave my friend a Magellan and like it but would love a touch screen. Any ideas? Anyone got one like new condition for under $200, closer to $100 or a little more. best to email me at debi@mssticks.com

My oregon 200 will not stay on past the screen that says saving waypoints, routes, etc...I have tried everything from switching to new batteries, plugging it into my macbook, and attempting to do a master reset. It won't even let me to a master reset, it just continues to turn off. I need help really bad!!! What do I do next???

Ugh...Need to get a real GPS..the car dedicated nuvi is just no cutting it anymore. I have a eTrex Legend but gave up on it almost immediately for it's screen. I wear bifocals and find it very hard to read. Looking at the Dakota 10 but EMS currently has the 20 on sale for $239! Not sure if going up a model is best. My biggest question is screen readability.....I have a PalmPre phone and that is great...how does that compare to the Dakota screens? I went to three stores today hoping to see one in action..Not one place could get theirs powered up... Where can you get an Oregon 200? Seem few and far between and I am wondering if this is no long offered by Garmin? Too many choices, prices all over the place....All we want to do is day hike with the kids and take paperless geocaches with us. Any suggestions?

I just purchased a garmin oregon 200 from the Groundspeak website and am waiting for it to arrive. I was just wondering if anyone knew if Mac OSX will support the software, or am I going to have to use windows? If anyone has any info, it would be much appreciated!!!

Me and my boyfriend just purchased our first geocaching gps today, the triton 200, and I am starting to regret the decision of buying this particular one!! The users manual was very unhelpful. We cannot for the life of us figure out how to enter coordinates into it and then get it to lead us to them. If anybody has this particular gps please help!! Thanks!!

Hi, I have been geocaching without a GPSr for about 3 years. Last week after several DNFs I decided it was time and bought an Oregon 200 with TOPO Canada. It seems that the mapping is not loaded on the GPSr. It came on a separate cd and I have installed on my computer. I just don't know how to load it onto the GPSr. Right now when we use the GPSr it only shows our location, the cache's location but no terrain details. Am I missing something? Any help is appreciated, Flavia

I have owned a Garmin Oregon 200 for about a year now. I have two questions, that I can't seem to find answers for in my own searches, hoping someone here can help. First off, is there any way to adjust the sensitivity of the screen? It is REALLY hard to scroll the screen on it, and other Oregon users have even commented on how difficult it is to scroll it. I can't use a screen protector, because it makes it even worse. It's to the point that it is actually getting scratched you have to scroll so hard. Resetting the unit does not help. Also, everything I read says that it should have wireless data exchange capabilities, but I'll be darned if we have ever been able to figure out how to do it. Anyone know? Thanks in advance for the help!

Hi All, I have an Oregon 200 thats about 6 months old. Lately evrytime I connect it to the pc it goes into "saving waypoint" mode and once it hits 100% powers down. I've tried it on another laptop and the same thing occurs. Is this an issue with the unit or software or has anyone had this happen to them as well? Any help would be most appreciated before the pc and the GPSr end up being launched thru the upstairs window into the street! just kidding.....but very frustrated.

Where can I find the best maps to add to my Oregon 200? I am desperate to get out caching but don't have any basemaps or anything on my new toy so I need some help. I would like to have Alberta, Saskatchewan and BC on the maps but anything additional would be great. What do you use? We are in Calgary and I have posted this to the calgary area cachers page as well. thanks 3 billygoats

I just loaded a new gpx and map onto my oregon, and now when I turn it on, it starts to go through the loading process, until it says "loading waypoints, tracks and routes", when it just turns itself off. Any ideas? I can't really take it to Garmin, because I'm traveling with it tomorrow.

I have a Magellan Triton 200, its a pretty basic GPS that is easy to use. We got it a year ago and found a lot of caches on it. Its a very good beginner GPS and for a good price. derkgrant@yahoo.com 209-568-6861

I have just started the geocaching hobby and have a question. I am using a Garmin Nuvi 200 and seem to have a problem getting close to caches. Does anyone else use this gps? If so what kind of luck are you having?

Received Pocket Query in e-mail program. Zip file attachment. Clicked Download on e-mail attachment and it opens up in EasyGPS program. However when I try and send to GPS it doesn't send. No error messages are produced. Unhook GPS Oregan 200 from USB cable. Turn on and nothing is downloaded. I don't have any problems going to Geocache.com and clicking on individual caches and using the send icon next to the cache listing. Also used the other link that comes with Pocket Query where you click on the link and it takes you to Geocache.com, you have the option of selecting all boxes and clicking on download. This also sends me to EasyGPS and once again no luck on downloading to GPS. Any suggestions? Thanks for your help.

is there any info on using the oregon 200 with map source or gsak? would like to know how to load gpx files so they end up in the geocache icon and not waypoints icon? also how would you change coords for multi caches?

Does anyone know what the differences between the Oregon 200 and 300 basemaps are? I know the 300's basemap is twice the size but I don't know what the main differences are.

Does anyone use a Garmin Oregon 200? I am looking for a middle of the road GPS and looking at one of those... I will use it on my motorcycle for turn by turn routing and geocaching but would like to be paperless. Are they paperless.. ie. can I load info from the cache page, size/terrain/difficulty etc? I notice they also accept sdmicro cards. Don't need tons of bells and whistles!!! Can you enter coords, then have the turn by turn directions? thanks

hey, I've got my new oregon 200 for almost a month now, and yesterday I was doing a multicache along with some friends, and at the end we needed to navigate 80 degrees TRUE for 261 meters. the friend of mine, who had a GPSMap CSx could program the gps that it would navigate for exactly 261 meters in a 80 degrees course. my question is: can I also do that with my oregon 200, if yes HOW? thanks Thiebins

I would like to download multiple cache sites on my Oregon 200 and haven't got a clue how to do it. Can someone explain, in words of 1 syllable, how it is done. Thank you.

I just got an Oregon 200 and would like to find a destination turn x turn software. I just want to be able to pop my addy in and my destination addy... I hear there are shareware maps out there. Any idea where I might look and which are the good ones? I really don't want to pay 50 or 60 bucks for the minimal use I would use it. thanks

Does anyone know where I might find info on The Oregon 200 and whether it takes advantage of a 16MB memory card... or if it will even work in it..!?

I am thinking about getting a Garmin Oregon 200 for geocaching. Any advice out there? Does anybody have one? Basically I am looking to get a unit for under $300. Have geocached before using a car GPS...painful. Advice greatly appreciated!

Hi; We are new to geocaching... We just bought a Garmin ORegon 200 and are trying to download cache information to our gps. We're not sure what we are doing wrong. Can anybody give us step-by-step directions? We have it hooked up to the computer, we've updated the driver, we've tried saving the file to the computer and on to the gps (though perhaps not in the right place). Help! Thanks!

I have the Oregon 200 with the TOPO canada Software loaded. While navigating to caches via car, the unit will give me turn by turn navigation, and the distance to the cache will update. Once I get out of the car and I touch the pin on the screen and move toward the cache, the distance stays at the car. The arrow moves, but the the only way I can tell how far I am from the cache is to touch the header at the top, and it tells me the distance from the waypoint, but it doesn't update dynamically of course. Sometimes when I zoom it it starts updating , but usually not. I've tried disabling maps, switching to pedestrain mode and I forget what else. Basically I have played with every setting I could think of. It's a new issue, and it's driving me nuts. I am ready to junk the stupid unit and get something else. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
