Garmin Oregon 600 Waterproof Handheld GPS
The Garmin Oregon 600 Waterproof Handheld GPS Unit is a great step forward in GPS handheld technology and the advances and the increased power will directly benefit your user experience.
The impact-resistant touch screen is easy to read even in bright sunshine and offers multi-touch and dual-orientation views as well as gloved operation.
The WAAS/EGNOS and GLONASS-enabled GPS receiver and HotFix satellite prediction will acquire your position faster and more exactly than ever and hold it even when you are under heavy foliage cover or hemmed in a steep-sided valley.
The built-in 3-axis electronic compass is equipped with accelerometer tilt compensation, which shows you exactly where you're heading even when you are standing stock still and even when you are not holding the unit level.
This is the scale of the advances the Garmin Oregon 600 Waterproof Handheld GPS Unit brings you but you see below that there are still a whole lot more features to make your outdoor experience as fulfilling as possible.
The Garmin Oregon 600 GPS was purposely engineered for the outdoors. It features the most brilliant, sunlight readable touch screen Garmin have ever put on a Garmin handheld, strengthened for impact resistance but with multi-touch and dual-orientation views that still accommodate gloved operation. Bumps, dust, dirt, humidity and water are no match for this mapping-oriented navigator.
The Garmin Oregon 600 has a built-in 3-axis electronic compass with accelerometer tilt compensation, which shows where you're heading even when you’re standing still, and not holding it level. Its barometric altimeter tracks changes in pressure to pinpoint your precise altitude and you even can use it to plot barometric pressure over time, which can help you keep an eye on changing weather conditions. And with its high-sensitivity, WAAS/EGNOS and GLONASS-enabled GPS receiver and HotFix satellite prediction, Oregon 600 locates your position quicker and more precisely and maintains its GPS location even in heavy cover and steep-sided valleys.
Besides its outstanding performance of up to 16 hours of battery time, the Oregon 600 features Garmin’s outdoor-optimised dual-battery system. You have the option of using the internally rechargeable NiMH pack (not included) or traditional AA batteries in case there is no opportunity for charging. The NiMH pack charges automatically whenever the device is connected to external power.
Now you can wirelessly transfer large files such as photos, geocaches, routes and Custom Maps between Oregon 600 series devices. Plus, new technology allows your routes, waypoints and tracks to transfer up to 50 times faster. Sync your data such as waypoints, geocaches, tracks and images to the Garmin Cloud and access from anywhere via your smartphone and BaseCamp mobile app. Oregon is also ANT+ wireless compatible with heart rate, chirp and tempe sensors.
Adding more maps to the Oregon 600 GPS is easy. Load Garmin GB Discoverer Ordnance Survey 1:50k maps or choose Garmin Birdseye Select 1:25k Ordnance Survey maps and hit the trail. Plug in BlueChart g2 pre-loaded cards for a great day on the water or load City Navigator map data for turn-by-turn routing on roads. Add satellite images to your maps with Birdseye Satellite Imagery (subscription required). You can even display and enter coordinates in British Grid format, the grid used on Ordnance Survey maps.
No more need to pick, choose and plan - just download them all. The Oregon 600 can hold a huge number of geocaches - 4 million! Download every cache on OpenCaching.com., load caches from GSAK or use your favourite program or website supporting GGZ files. All your paperless geocaching features will be there for every cache. Read full descriptions, hints and logs, filter caches by size, terrain, difficulty and type, connect to chirp-enabled caches and record your logs in the field. Do it all - the Oregon 600 has no limit.
Make the most of your adventures with BaseCamp, Garmin's free trip-planning software.
