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

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?

Hi everyone, I have looked and I cant find a way to erase the caches I have found. Can anyone help?

Hello all i got my new GPS (Oregon 200) this weekend!!! I was supper exceeded but to be truthful i was kinda disappointed with the streets and roads on it or better yet the LACK of them in my area. Basically, there is none on it other than MAJOR highways. How do i get streets on my Oregon 200. Thanks for any help!

The page: http://www.geocaching.com/seek/history.aspx seems to be stuck; on top of the list is 6/18/2010 needaxeo found [Traditional Cache] Leighton-Linslade Trail - Linslade Wood 4 Eastern England, United Kingdom Or has no-one logged a cache ;-)

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!!!

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

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.

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!

I want to create a profile with icons like waypoint ave. geocaching, compass, and all waypoint icons on one screen. Is it possible to move the icons?

Finally getting my first GPS and I have a budget of $200. I found a used Garmin Dakota 10 for $200. If I want to go paperless, would this be my best option? Wide open for any suggestions. Thanks all!

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?

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

Other then screen size I can't see much difference between the two. Except the Oregon $200 is bringing $100 bucks less on ebay, I can get it for $200 vs. the Dakota 20 which will run me $300. Seems odd the "lower" model is bringing less money. Experiences, differences?

I am on an extended vacation, and somehow in my travels the map on my Oregon got erased! Ever since I was limited to caching with my iPhone, but am now in an area where there is no reception. Is there a way to recover them? I checked the mygarmin site, but no dice yet. Any help will be appreciated! Thanks!

Hi all Can you please help a newbie on here? I have had a Garmin Nuvi 200 for a few years and my wife loves it (will not try another make or model) The maps on it are dated 2006 and under map info it sates "City Navigator Europe NT v9 [1] UK & Ireland" Thinking these are getting old I went to Garmin.co.uk a new map is £40.00!! (I went to Halfords & purchased a Nuvi 250 £84. on special offer) How my wife still wants her Nuvi 200 with new maps So I went to my local news group and down loaded City Navigator Europe, the one dated 2009 is named "gmapsupp.img" the one dated 2010 is named "gmapprom.img" I tried to upload both using a USB lead to the Nuvi 200 and got the message "insufficient space" I have since tried a 2gb SD card and copied 2009 map to it and got the message "no maps found" I then tried the 2010 map and got the same message "no maps found" Please what am I doing wrong? And why are there two different file extensions? Thanks in advance for all your help

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?

It's gps is off! It thinks I live a street over and we found a cache today but could never have unless I had a picture spoiler clue as it was about 100 yards away! Do I need to reset the thing? Which I am slightly reluctant to do because I will lose the voice of Ozzie Ozborne that came with it (bought it off ebay) or is there something else I can do to make it know where things are?

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.

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.

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..!?
