Received fantastic service from this merchant. I called before we bought 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!!

This unit might be OK for small trips where you already know where you are going, the touch screen is cool and handy and the chart details are fine.
But, if you want Marine features, read on.
My first clue was the word “Chart” does not appear anywhere in the menu system. That is because this unit is really an outdoor map unit that was adapted for marine use.
Sadly, that means that there are missing features for mariners the most vital being chartplotting. Chartplotting is where you drop a series of waypoints on to a chart, make sure there are no obstructions in the way, collectively they are strung together to make a route. It is all done on the chart so you can see details of your route. You can’t make a route in one step on the chart with the Oregon or Colorado series of Garmin Handheld GPS Units.
With the Oregon, first you need to make a series of waypoints, each which should be named so they make sense as to their location. Then go to your menu system and choose another page that contains the list of waypoints, but not where they are on your chart. Choose a series of waypoints to string together as a route and then you can go back to the Map (their name not mine) and inspect your route on the chart to make sure you don’t hit anything.
If that is not enough to convince you, go ahead and buy it. It is a nice toy.
Here is what I suggest instead: NOTE: not as fun as a touch screen but functional and nearly 1/2 the price: Lowrance iFinder H20 C GPS (Blue) and NP-USA NAUTIC PATH MAP CHART

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 reckon it was designed to fool the amateurs or people that never go hiking because as soon as you hit the sunny trail, the Oregon LCD screen becomes completely and utterly washed out, you won’t be able to read the text or anything at all. It is by far the worse screen I have ever seen on a GPS or any other device and the new DAKOTA series appears to be even worse, probably a silly attempt to save battery power since the screen is so large. The Garmin Oregon sure looks pretty in the shade or inside the store where there is no light or anywhere where there is no satellite reception, such as a forest. Don’t buy it. This gadget gets one star for been the dumbest invention with an expensive price tag.

It is the best handheld GPS I’ve ever used. It is simple to use and it does everything I’ve expected. It is very compact and simple to carry discreetly.
