Although the touch screen approach is definitely cool. But on the other hand, what's the use of being able to display heart rate and cadence frequency on the oregon if you can't export it to Garmin's training center software?]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[theo]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Apr 12th 2009 4:12PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Camera-packin' Garmin Oregon 500 navigator on sale in UK]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/12/camera-packin-garmin-oregon-500-navigator-on-sale-in-uk/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/12/camera-packin-garmin-oregon-500-navigator-on-sale-in-uk/</guid><description><![CDATA[I use my iPhone for all my GPS needs and it works perfectly.

Most phones only cover cities, which obviously is pointless when your on top of a mountain (or hill/fell).  Also, most phones or normal GPS devices would probably break within a few hours.  Few people also seem to have noticed that it can run off AA batteries, which is a god send! (for this type of device).<br><br>For those comparing it to phones (the iPhone seems to be a favorite), don't bother, they occupy different markets (there places that aren't urban and yes, they do matter).  <br><br>PS The people who compare iPhones to everything, just seem to want to say anything but what the "great/beloved/whatever else" Apple produce.
