Garmin offers with the Oregon 400 series GPS devices the ultimate device for the outdoors. The sleek touch screen sporting devices come in three flavors for different map needs: The Garmin Oregon 400t has a topographic map of the U.S., the 400c features BlueChart g2 with limited capability and the 400i has Inland Lakes.

For hiking, climbing or hunting the Oregon 400t with the state-of-the-art 3D elevation perspective and preloaded topographic map data of the U.S. is the ideal companion. With its high-sensitivity, WAAS-enabled GPS receiver and HotFix satellite prediction, Oregon 400t locates your position quickly and precisely and maintains its GPS location even in heavy cover and deep canyons. It's also equipped with a barometric altimeter and electronic compass, and it's compatible with Garmin's heart-rate monitors and speed/cadence sensors.
The Oregon 400t lets you customize five profiles--automotive, marine, recreation, fitness or geocaching--making the most beneficial features for each activity the easiest to access through quick shortcuts. The tough, 3-inch color touchscreen display is easy to read even in direct sunlight, and the Oregon's easy-to-use interface means you'll spend more time enjoying the outdoors and less time searching for information.
