I took my 450t out today for first time and was very frustrated! I downloaded some caches and selected one and hit go. Possibly only in the early units? The manual treats them identically except for the camera and topo. I had heard stories that there might have been some differences in display brightness between certain of those models. The 550 units have a camera, and the "t" units have topo. Never gonna happen.Īnd my manual (came loaded on the Oregon) is for the 450, 450t, 550, 550t. Don't expect to take it out of the box, turn it on and just go. What I am trying to say is that the Oregon is a great unit and is easy to use AFTER YOU UNDERSTAND IT A LITTLE BETTER. With time came experience and confidence in the Oregon. At first I wouldn't even think of leaving the house without my trusty 60csx along because I didn't trust that I would be able to operate the Oregon efficiently. With help from friends, a little reading, and a lot of hands on use with the Oregon we have a better understanding of each other now. I was very familiar with several Garmin non-paperless units and had the opportunity to buy a gently used Oregon 450t paperless because it was a little too confusing for the original owner. It was basically a glorified PDA for a little while (descriptions, hints, logs). Thank you for your comments, knowledge and experience!!! In my searches I think I have narrowed it down to the Garmin Oregon 450 or 550. I am looking for a GPS unit that is a little more accurate and not overly complicated to use.
