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.

This plain looking Oregon doesn't do it for me.]]>Jul 10th 2008 12:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/10/garmin-gets-official-with-the-oregon-200-300-and-400-nav-units/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/10/garmin-gets-official-with-the-oregon-200-300-and-400-nav-units/Jul 10th 2008 11:33AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/10/garmin-gets-official-with-the-oregon-200-300-and-400-nav-units/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/10/garmin-gets-official-with-the-oregon-200-300-and-400-nav-units/Jul 10th 2008 12:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/10/garmin-gets-official-with-the-oregon-200-300-and-400-nav-units/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/10/garmin-gets-official-with-the-oregon-200-300-and-400-nav-units/Jul 10th 2008 12:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/10/garmin-gets-official-with-the-oregon-200-300-and-400-nav-units/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/10/garmin-gets-official-with-the-oregon-200-300-and-400-nav-units/

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.]]>Jul 10th 2008 2:44PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/10/garmin-gets-official-with-the-oregon-200-300-and-400-nav-units/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/10/garmin-gets-official-with-the-oregon-200-300-and-400-nav-units/Base maps are for wusses.]]>Jul 10th 2008 2:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/10/garmin-gets-official-with-the-oregon-200-300-and-400-nav-units/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/10/garmin-gets-official-with-the-oregon-200-300-and-400-nav-units/


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! ]]>Jul 10th 2008 3:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/10/garmin-gets-official-with-the-oregon-200-300-and-400-nav-units/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/10/garmin-gets-official-with-the-oregon-200-300-and-400-nav-units/Jul 10th 2008 3:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/10/garmin-gets-official-with-the-oregon-200-300-and-400-nav-units/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/10/garmin-gets-official-with-the-oregon-200-300-and-400-nav-units/
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.]]>Sep 21st 2008 8:06AM
