Where to buy Garmin Oregon 450

[+K2CLH]

Hi. I have a nearly new Garmin eTrex 20 but not having the compass drives me crazy. If anyone knows where to buy a new Garmin Oregon 450 for $220 or less please let me know. I decided that I would be willing to pay $40 more to have the extra features. I could return the eTrex and get $180 and that would mean it would have to be $220 or less. If anyone knows where to get an Oregon 450 please let me know.

 

Thanks,

K2CLH

Don't know where you live but here in Canada $199.95cdn (and I'm pretty sure there is a GPScity in the USA). Costco Canada is also selling this unit for $199.95cdn and they have an excellent return policy if you are not satisfied.

Thanks so much!!! I am going to switch out my eTrex 20 for this so that I have a compass.

 

Thanks again,

Yes, GPScity.com for $200 or eBay from garmin direct also $200 but refurbished.

 

The compass will be identical though.

No it won't.

 

The Oregon 450 has a 3-axis compass and the eTrex 20 has a basic electronic compass that only works when you are moving.

 

It's the eTrex 30 that has a 3-axis compass similar to the Oregon.

Oh yes, the etrex 20 does not have a compass.... They are of no use anyway. Not a good reason to get a different unit.

With further research I found out that for only $5 extra I could return my eTrex 20 and get an Oregon 450. I did that and it is on its way. Thanks guys for all the input!
