Oregon 450 - yippee!


Recommended Posts

After sitting on the fence, researching like crazy, I finally pulled the trigger. I picked up an Oregon 450. Couldn't be happier. :D The manuals were a bit lame, but through forums like this and others, I've been able to work things out.

 

to date, I've used the Garmin updater (as of March 30th), to get the GPSr current. Installed Mapsource, and added the Arizona Topo & Ibycus USA.

 

I also purchased a bike mount for the unit too, as I mountain bike a lot. looking forward to having it along. maybe I'll use my bike for hunting down some local caches. :lol:

 

any rate, a big thanks to the forum. I've learned lots and expect to share any of my experiences.

forgot to mention. I also picked up a 4GB MicroSD, and also installed a screen cover. :lol:

 

Congrats! I think you'll really be happy with it...now you need to look at BirdsEye for aerial imagery that will really knock your socks off...

 

Get the free BaseCamp download from Garmin and the $30 subscription for all you can download for a year...

I bought my 450 today at thedigitialoasis.com for $337.00 free shipping and with the $50.00 rebate from garmin that kind of like a pioneer stereo for the car at a garage sale.
