GARMIN
Oregon 550t Handheld GPS Navigator

If you’re looking for the perfect multipurpose tool for your outdoor adventure, all you need is a rugged Oregon 550 or 550t GPS navigator, Garmin’s first outdoor navigators to include built-in cameras, along with a 3-axis tilt-compensated compass that allows the unit to report an accurate heading even when not held in a level position. Built-in Camera: The 3.2 megapixel auto-focus camera has 4x digital zoom and automatically geotags each photo with the location where it was taken, allowing you to mark, remember and navigate back to the exact spot in the future. When you connect an Oregon 550 or 550t to a computer via USB and log on to my.Garmin.com, it will detect any photos. The myGarmin site makes it simple to select, upload and store photos on Picasa™, a popular online photo sharing community for friends and families around the world. Detailed Topo Maps: A built-in DEM (digital elevation model) basemap on the Oregon 550 supports terrain shading and route elevation profiles to help you estimate terrain difficulty. And the Oregon 550t comes preloaded with detailed topographic maps and land elevation contours throughout the U.S. Coverage includes major trails, urban and rural roads, interstates, highways, coastlines, rivers and lakes as well as national, state and local parks, forests and wilderness areas. In addition, you can search for points of interest by name or proximity to your location. Plus, it contains descriptive details for features typically found on topographic maps, such as terrain contours, topo elevations, summits and geographical points. The Oregon 550 and 550t provide improved sunlight-readable touchscreen displays, and the high-sensitivity GPS receiver with HotFix™ satellite prediction helps locate your position quickly and precisely while maintaining its signal even in heavy cover and deep canyons.
