Dakote 10 and the Oregon 300 hold our for an oregon 450. much better screen resolution then the 300. it was $249 at REI a few months back, perhaps will be that price again next big US shopping day (black friday??)

+Jeep4two Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 (edited) If you must choose between those two, the Oregon 300 is the way to go. However as brucered states, an Oregon 450 is a much better choice if you can afford the difference (and assuming it might be available to purchase under the employee discount program you mentioned). The 300 is a star performer with electronic compass and a MicroSD card slot for expansion - the Dakota 10 has no expansion slot for adding memory and no electronic compass which would be deal breakers for me personally. edit for spelling Edited September 23, 2010 by Jeep4two Quote Link to comment
