Need Replacement GPS

[+petenjo]

I left my Oregon 300 that I had for a couple of years in a rental car the other day, and surprisingly it did not show up in the Lost & Found. So now I'm looking for a replacement unit. Paperless caching is a must. I use a Mac that has Windows loaded on it, and live in Northern California. I'm hoping to spend around $300. Any advice would be appreciated.

Unless your stuck on the touchscreen feature - I'd go with a Garmin eTrex 30.

Oregon 450.

 

After using the Colorado's rock-n-roller to type field notes you can't imagine how much easier it is with the touchscreen

I'd stay away from the etrex 30 until they fix the bugs. I made that mistake.

I think they pretty much have fixed them.

There is an Oregon 450 for sale for $250 in the bay area Craigslist pages. Might want to look at that.

+1 for the 450 I love mine and you will be familiar with it so very little learning curve

 

I would spend the extra bucks and get a new one $290 at amazon

Garmin eTrex 30. Bugs are fixed. 2nd one for me and not a problem. Firmware 2.7 While nothing is perfect, this thing is now good, IMO. Still, buy from REI and you can return it no questions asked if it doesn't suit you.
