Oregon 450 vs old oregon 300

[fujitsu]

Hi,

 

does anyone know if the oregon 450 is faster than de 300? I am refering about the draw of the maps.

 

I hope you understand my question.

 

Thanks

I doubt either is faster, both are based on the same STM Cartesio chip.

I have never owned a 300 but I have an Oregon 450 and I find that the maps draw very quickly.

As as I know, only the display is different.

And the compass (2-axis vs. 3-axis). And the number of waypoints/caches they can store. And ... ?

We have the 200, 300, and 450. The 200 and 300 start up quicker. Could it be because I always have 5,000 caches loaded on the 450 vs. the 2,000 on the 200 and 300. But, the maps seem to update the same.

I have the Oregon 450. I load up a lot of queries. Start up and maps seem fine. I con't compare but I am happy. Keep pretty new batteries in though.

One thing that I have noticed and it may only be my units, is that with my old 400t the cold really slowed the response to any action. I would wait for a prolonged period of time for the next screen to appear after touching a command. So far this has not occurred with my new 450 an 3-4 occasions that I have caches all day in -8 to -10C temperature.

The batteries are another story. In the cold, freshly charged Powerex batteries went from all green bars to 1 green bar in about 10 minutes. Cached for a couple of hours like this. When I returned home and the unit warmed up it showed all green bars again.
