Garmins are the best!
PIE AND BACON FTW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Shouldn't that be a $522.32 for the 300 instead of $322.32?
Shouldn't it be $522.32 insteand of $322.32?
damn double posts... why can't my office upgrade our POS computers?
They can't afford to, productivity is unexplainable low...
It's not your computer. This is a terrible comment system.
These appear essentially be upgrades to the current Colorado line.
Which would be lovely, except Garmin still hasn't managed to fix the bugs in which the Colorado's rapidly start losing precision over the course of minutes and show you hundreds of yards, and in one case I saw, up to 1/2 mile from where you actually are. Then you reboot the GPS, and it magically fixes itself. Complaints about this are everywhere, and Garmin is pretty much just ignoring them all.
Not exactly what most people want in a GPS. It's sad when my almost 10-year-old Garmin GPS-III+ is more accurate than my week old Colorado 400t.
Didn't the Colorado just come out?
I personally have the GPSMap 60csx, and prefer the look of it and the Colorado. This plain looking Oregon doesn't do it for me.
It's a known fact that Engadget editors are easily confused.
'does it work outside of oregon' comments: begin now!
$639.99? Maybe I can use one of these units to find out where all my money went!
Prices seem to be in order here, not sure where the ones in this post came from?

Garmin needs some serious competition, they are just pushing out overpriced rubbish these days.
Its time they dumped their tacky vector maps, it made sense when memory was expensive , but not any more. Give a a good ruggid unit with normal maps, eg OS for the UK, and they will be onto a winner, but these units are just gimmicks.
My Geko 301 is still damn good.
Base maps are for wusses.
It's beautiful!!
i sold my Garmin 60cx when i got the new Colorado 400 came out. Boy, was that a mistake. I sold them both, but wish I'd a kept my 60cx.
Hope this one works!
I'm assuming this is meant to play your own live version of Oregon Trail?
So, if you like to fish and hike you have to buy two of these?
And, you still can't use it for a daily driver GPS?

This is not a chart plotter. You can not arrange a series of points on a chart and connect them to a route. You can arrange a series of points then go to a list (without the benefit of a chart) and string together a route from the list.
Not what mariners want IMHO.
Big negative.
