That's exactly the setup I'd get (will get for my next GPSr) Add the free topos from GPSfiledepot.com and you'll be all set!

It is a good unit but I sent mine back. I had a hard time seeing it while driving. I will keep my Dakota 20. If you buy a bike mount check out GPScity and the Ram mounts they are very good.

An auto power adapter and anti-glare screen protector took care of that for me. I upgraded from a Colorado to the Oregon 450 a few weeks back, couldn't be happier. A real joy to cache with, Works great on my 4 wheeler too.

Which one and where did you get it?

Thanks

I like the standard Garmin mounts for the Oregon. You just have to get it tight enough.

I've had a 400t for about a year. For that kind of money I'd consider something else before purchasing.

I have a Dakota 20 & Oregon 450. Previously a Colorado was in the mix. Colorado very good and lot of nice features. But the scroll wheel was a pain compared to the touch screen on the 20/450. 450 better screen resolution and seems brighter and easier to read in marginal light conditions. But either the 20 or 450 would make a nice unit(s) to have.

palser,

 

I'd be curious to hear your take on the 450 screen vs. the Dakota 20. I've used both, but not side-by-side. I'm currently testing the 450.
