Garmin Oregon 400i
« on: October 20, 2008, 06:29:54 AM »
I have started using the Garmin Oregon 400i for K9 SAR purposes. It is an excellent GPS,but this is not he place for a review. OTOH, downloading the data, TopoFusion Pro does it flawlessly, didn't even bat an eyelid at the new unit. Maptech (used by command) ground to a halt... The only way was to write the track/waypoint files to a USB drive (in Maptech format -and it is so nice TF does that too-) and transfer it like manually.

Scott, as usual, you are way ahead of the competition.

Great, glad to hear it's working out for you.  I've been playing with the Oregon 400 as well.  Great unit except one thing... the screen is hard to read when I have it on the handlebars.  I think as long as you use it in your hand (hiking and what not) it's OK, but you can't always adjust the angle just right when it's on the bars.
