I've always chosen Garmin units, and bought my first in 1995. This is my first new GPS receiver in 8 years, and to the basic technology of reporting your position, it adds a very nice color interface, Wherigo games, really easy PC connectivity, Geoc
It is the best handheld GPS I've ever used. It is easy to use and it does everything I've expected. It is very compact and easy to carry discreetly.
Received great service from this merchant. I called before we purchased and they answered all my questions via phone. The product arrived quickly and exactly as described. I would do business with this merchant again. Thanks!!
I bought a Colorado 400c in April and loved it, then I saw this a month ago and fell in lust. I accidentaly immediatly ran over my Colorodo with my car (I had bought a protection plan) and it was replaced with the Oregon 400c. This is an absoulutly outsta
We love this GPS. WE had purchased a competeing brand and it left us dry without the versatility we needed for many GPS uses we wanted. So that one went back and we got this Garmin 400t. Perfect for everything we need. Versatile, and adaptable to fit what
This product is everything it claims to be and more. Easy to operate, fast, and super accurate. If you are an avid hiker, outdoors person or simply a fitness buff, the Oregon 400T is the way to go. It is worth the price!!!
I bought this for my father about a month ago and he loves it. Amazing everything it can do. He added road maps for about $70 and added marine maps for a little over $100. Huge learning curve involved. Out local sports store gives lessons which I would re
This was a birthday present because I love geocaching. All i have to say is that this is such a perfect gps. It takes me within 1 to 3 feet of all my finds. Totally recommended.
I love the Garmin Oregon 400T. As an avid geocacher I use to carry around my PDA and GPSr now I can do it all with one unit. The Maps SD Chip was a great addition. It took a bit to get use to the screen changes but it is well worth the time spent learn
I have had it about a week and love it so far. There are some menu and operational things I would change and it is not the easiest thing to learn but still its at the top. I think it will be easier for newbies to understand and use. The latest software
I love this unit! Problems encounterd by other reviewers can easily be solved by exploring all of the menu options. If all else fials READ the manual.
I have used my new Oregon 400t for the last week and it is everything I expected and more. It is perfect for Geocaching. With the help of the GSAK program, some custom macros ([...]) and the Garmin POI Loader (GARMIN.COM) it is a breeze to upload the cac
I bought Oregon 400C. I have Topo 2008 and many other Garmin maps on micro SD cards. No matter which Garmin Oregon you pick this model offers all you need in a mapping hand held GPS device. Fast, convenient with its touch screen interface and it is very c
Just returned my Nuvi 500 to Amazon because the opportunity came up to purchase the Oregon 400t and the Nuvi 500 is poorly suited for off-road compared to trail-devices. Now my only questions are, what's the limit to what I can do with this thing? (P
bought the oregon and the city navigator software and set out on a 4500 mile hunting/sightseeing trip. I did need some help from the garmin folks to get it set up, but after this small headache I found the 400 to be a superb on and off road navigator. I
I've owned about 6 GPSr's since my first loaf-sized Lowrance Eagle. Almost all of them have been Magellans, but since my XP PC fatally crashed and Magellan doesn't offer a driver for Vista Home Premium (why not? I suppose that since the Tr
This is a lengthy review, but at $462 and after seeing some of the "user induced" complaints, I believe a good review is essential. I also own a Garmin Etrex Vista and by far, the Oregon 400t is the most versatile, customizable, and flexible han
I love it! I am not a big fan of the Nuvi series, and I am a long-time user of the III Plus and 60cs which I loved. The Oregon 400 has all of the features I need.
I had to replace my old GPS and went with this one. Took it out on a day of Geocaching and it was right on. Better then my old Garmin GPS. Yes the screen does kind of suck in the sun but all the other features out way the screen. Ive used it at work
I love it! I am not a big fan of the Nuvi series, and I am a long-time user of the III Plus and 60cs which I loved. The Oregon 400 has all of the features I need.
Other than the basic use of this item, the leaning curve is a bit steep, and you need to go to the manual instructions to attach and download material to your computer. Also, instructions do not follow what actually is displayed. Consequently, some &quo
I purchased an Oregon 400t to replace my broken Garmin GPSMap 60CSx. I am very pleased with the unit, overall. It is very compact and light, very easy to use, and the touch screen interface makes it the most pleasant to use GPS receiver I've ever tri
Garmin makes the best gps out there and Oregon is their best as of now. Pro; 1. Solid Product, You can feel it. 2. Maps are great 3. Display is good. 4. Ease of use, Awesome GUI 5. Accuracy is excellent Cons: 1. Battery Hungry, this can be resolved using
I am stoked about this new GPSr! The last GPS I owned was a Magallen Meridian Gold. It was also a great unit but with all the new technology coming out I decided to take the leap and try a new Oregon. I have never owned a Garmin but we use them at work
'Have used it as a:map c return, geocaching, plot map, hiking, etc. It has met all expectation except in the daylight(even in shade) - and with the screen lumination to maximum - the map and course are extremely poorly visualized.
good unit took it to switzerland was more accurate than the tomtom that came with rental car , touch screen is great ,the drag feature on the screen is nice. could use an easier path to enter cordinets taken off a map also could be more flexable useing ol
It was a dark and stormy night on San Francisco Bay and one of the crew had a Foretrex strapped to his wrist. We weren't in Kansas anymore, but rather on a J24 flying the spinnaker at night and uncertain as to where a 15ft navigation aid was planted
I'm delighted with 400T ... my first GPS of any kind. Negatives are (1) the screen is not bright, but I overcome this shortcoming, even in sunshine, by tilting the device; (2) some secondary roads are unmapped, (3) Garmin provides both quick referenc
Advertised as "Battery Average Life: 16 Hours" I'm just learning how to use this new toy. But it seems I don't have it on very long (maybe two hours)and the battery bar drops to the halfway point. I have new, fully charged batteries
I bought the 400t a couple of months ago, and have added the North America Street maps. So far I have used the unit mostly for road navigation, and find it works quite well. The screen is a bit dim in direct sunlight, as other reviewers have noted, but
I've been using an E Trex for over a decade, that was first generation. I finally broke open the wallet and sprung for the Oregon 400T. It's great. Yes the screen could use being brighter, and a couple times I had trouble with the software ge
I am a third generation Garmin user (ETrex Legend, 60CSx and now the Oregone 400t). Upgrading to the 60CSx was like night and day and upgrading to the 400t is also night and day to a degree. The positives: Ease of use touchscreen. The ability to quickl
I used this on my 2 night canoe trip so we would know where we are on the river to pace ourselves. I had to replace the batteries towards the end and it messed up some of my stats which pissed me off a bit, that is why I didn't give it a 5 star. Also
I have been looking at this device and have not purchased it yet so I have no Dog in this fight. I had read all the reviews about the sunlihgt being an issue and the fact that I live in Denver was very concerning for me. I went to the big REI downtown a
Purchased this unit 1 month before a planned trip. Had to get replacement from Garmin as original unit had problems. Garmin support express mailed a replacement for which I thank them. I don't recommend the downloaded maps. I had no success with a nu
I just broke this unit in on an ocean sailboat race from Miami to Fort Lauderdale and back. I never attempted to use the unit like Mr. Warriner. That would be kind of like watching a movie on a cell phone. I don't get that either. Instead, I chart
This is my first gps unit and it is very cool when you turn it on. The 3d view is great for locating water sources in the backcountry, and backpacking side by side with a garmin 60csx shows it is pretty accurate. The basics are good. However, the 400t com
It's portable with a good screen but it isn't as user friendly as I would like. Depending where you are it can take a minute to get a link. It has multiple applications but I've yet to master many of them. I take it with me on hikes and can
I purchased the Oregon 400t for hiking and geocaching. I fired the GPS up and after locking onto a bunch of satelites, I checked the location of my house; the unit showed my house on another street! I checked again the next day and got the exact same in
This is a really nice unit but if you buy it with the base map pre-loaded (400t) you'll be sorry. The pre-loaded maps can NOT be manipulated. In other words, you CAN NOT plug this unit into your computer and add waypoints, tracks, plan hikes, etc. et
I have an extensive outdoor history reaching back 40 years, but a much shorter history with GPS devices. My family owns three other Garmins; I also have the Vista HCX. GPS devices are a classic example of an industry that has been a monopoly for far too
I am so annoyed with this companies customer service I am tempted to take the product back! I like the GPS but beware if you order maps or need a question answered!
I'm not pampered! Screen is absolutely not bright enough in sunlight. I had one and returned it. Search the web it is the number one complaint. It would be a great unit if the screen was readable outside in the sun and had a 3 Axis compass.
This unit might be OK for short trips where you already know where you are going, the touch screen is cool and handy and the chart details are fine. However, if you want Marine features, read on. My first clue was the word "Chart" does not appea
If there are any positive reviews about this device they would come from people that never used it. The Garmin Oregon was not designed for outdoor use, I think it was designed to fool the amateurs or people that never go hiking because as soon as you hit
Despite some favorable reviews I do not think that this device is adequate for the purpose it is supposed to perform. The LCD screen is too dim. I cannot see anything on it in daylight. It works fine in my closet but I know my way around the closet.
To quote a five star reviewer, "...the Oregon 400t is the most versatile, customizable, and flexible handheld GPS I have seen." I agree completely. In addition to it's GPS capabilities it has a barometer, a compass, and the ability to add
