Description
The navigator with the photographic memory - the Garmin Oregon 550t combines rugged outdoor touchscreen navigation with a 3.2 megapixel digital camera. Add preloaded U.S. topo maps, along with high-sensitivity GPS, barometric altimeter, 3-axis electronic compass and microSD™ card slot. The result? A multipurpose device that will make your biggest adventures even more memorable.

Take Pictures and Save Locations
Capture locations and memories with the Garmin Oregon 550t's 3.2 megapixel autofocus digital camera with 4x digital zoom. Each photo is automatically geotagged with the location of where it was taken, allowing you to navigate back to that exact spot in the future. Snap and view pictures in landscape or portrait orientation. With 850 MB of internal memory, you'll never miss a photo opportunity. To store online, simply connect the Garmin Oregon 550t via USB and log into my.Garmin.com to upload and store your photos at Picasa, a popular online photo sharing community for friends and families around the world. For more storage, insert a microSD card; you can even view pictures from other devices on microSD with Oregon's picture viewer.

Touch and Go
The Garmin Oregon 550t makes rugged navigation effortless with a tough, 3-inch diagonal, sunlight-readable, color touchscreen display. The interface is easy to use, so you'll spend more time enjoying the outdoors and less time searching for information. Both durable and waterproof, the Garmin Oregon 550t is built to withstand the elements. Bumps, dust, dirt, humidity and water are no match for this rugged navigator.

Explore the Terrain
The Garmin Oregon 550t comes with built-in U.S. topographic data for the continental U.S. and a worldwide basemap with shaded relief - all the tools for serious climbing or hiking. Map detail includes national, state and local parks and forests, along with terrain contours, elevation information, trails, rivers, lakes and points of interest.

Get Your Bearings
The Garmin Oregon 550t has a built-in 3-axis tilt-compensated electronic compass, which shows your heading even when you're standing still, without holding it level. Its barometric altimeter tracks changes in pressure to pinpoint your precise altitude, and you can even 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-enabled GPS receiver and HotFix satellite prediction, the Garmin Oregon 550t locates your position quickly and precisely and maintains its GPS location even in heavy cover and deep canyons.

GREAT FOR A NEW PRODUCT

The 550t is a great outdoor gps for hiking. I love the touch screen, although I wish there was a way to calibrate it, as it sometimes has problems with a few buttons needing a off center touch. The screen can be a bit difficult to see in some lighting conditions, but is fine if you tilt it to avoid the glare. For a new product, it had very few issues. I did run into one issue with the tracks file getting corrupted and needing to be deleted and reloaded from a computer. Garmin is looking at this. Other than the one issue with tracks, it is amazingly fault free for a brand new product.

Pros: touch screen, easy menu navigation
Cons: menu navigation needs shortcuts at times
Recommend: YES

DIGGIN' THE OREGON 550T

I purchased my 550t from gpscity shortly before giving it a thorough workout during a 3 week trip to the US (from the UK). It was perfect for recording my 2500 mile trip along the west coast and illustrating it with surprisingly decent photos from the integrated camera. The photos taken at full zoom were not brilliant, but acceptable nonetheless. I only lost satellite signal once, but that may have been because I was hiking the narrows in Zion National Park! Overall, I am very pleased with my purchase. I downloaded the gpx files and photos to Google maps which looked really cool too. If you're into the great outdoors and want to show off to your friends about where you've been, then the 550t is an essential piece of kit.

Pros: reliability, geo-tagged photos, durable
Cons: camera at full zoom,readability in bright sunlight
Recommend: YES

OUTSTANDING GPS

I have tried several outdoor GPS units and this is by far the best. Easy to use, fast, accurate and the photo options make it great for swamp kayaking where there are no clear channels. rugged and a beautiful bright screen make it my favorite.

Pros: touch screen, easy interface with pc or mac.
Cons: a bit pricey
Recommend: YES

GARMIN OREGON 550T

This is by far the best GPS I have ever used. Better then the 760CSX or 60CSX. Compass function is much better, back light is good but could be improved for daylight viewing. The camera geotags the photos and they can be loaded into most GIS mapping applications to show you where the photos were taken. Great for Law Enforcement. Battery life seems to be better then the 300 series...

BASICALLY USELESS

Arrived without Canadian maps installed. If this was shipped from Canada, why only US maps installed?

Appears to be a nifty device, but without the Canadian maps this thing is a waste of time.

Pros: nifty feature
Cons: useless without maps installed
Recommend: NO
