Garmin Oregon 550T

This is the flagship top of the line portable GPS from Garmin.

The difference between the 550 and the 550T is that the 550T comes with preloaded U.S. topographic maps . It nevertheless is worth the extra $ 100 .

What Garmin is trying to do with this device is a combination of GPS with a waterproof digital camera. Two devices you often carry when you go camping. Oregon records GPS coordinates when you take a picture so you can see the picture later and show someone where it was made . High-end digital camera with auto-focus digital camera 3.2 MP .

The camera has a 4x digital zoom, and pictures can be viewed in portrait or landscape orientation. Oregon has 850 MB of internal memory for storing pictures , you can use an optional memory card micro SD, to increase available memory .

One thing you’ll notice about Oregon is that it does not have buttons. The interface is a touch screen . In my opinion , this feature improves the use of the device. Compared with previous Garmin touchscreens this is about 15% brighter.

Oregon uses a 3-axis compass . With 2-axis compass must be kept completely horizontal GPS to get an accurate reading . Using the 3-axis you do not need to do that.

If you are going fishing , hunting or camping if you are willing to pay Garmin Oregon is the 2014 best portable GPS.

Top 10 Best Handheld Gps To Buy Review

Garmin Dakota 20

Dakota is a smaller and cheaper version of Oregon, but uses many of the same technologies.

Dakota runs two rechargeable AA batteries . You can get 20 hours of use of the charge , which is better than Oregon, but worse than ETREX. The screen switches to power saving mode after 15 seconds of inactivity , and you simply touch the screen to get it going again.

Dakota has 850MB internal memory unused for additional maps . He has a slot Micro SD- card if you want to download and use a large map , you can add additional capacity . Download maps Dakota slower because it uses an older version of USB, while Oregon uses USB 2.0. I also found a little more sluggish Dakota zooming and scrolling .

Dakota also uses advanced 3-axis built-in compass .

Garmin ETREX Venture HC

If the new Garmin guaranteed power are to expensive for you, I recommend going with a navigator Venture HC. This reliability makes it the best cheap portable GPS 2014 .

One of the problems that the previous ETREX guaranteed power was , was that if you went into the forest trees will block the signal GPS. In this version, Garmin began using a more sensitive GPS- receiver, which means that your signal will not fall.

ETREX only has 24 MB of internal memory , and you can not upgrade that with SD- card.

This device is water resistant , but not waterproof. If you put it in the river for a few seconds is all right, but you can not leave it under water for a long time .

Unlike other handheld GPS units in this price range , the navigator has a color screen .
