Oregon 400T Screen Review: The 3 inch screen of the Garmin Oregon 400T is fantastic. It is a full touch screen which has its advantages and disadvantages. It makes it easy to use but in an outdoor environment, you will find your screen getting dirty quickly. The 2D and 3D abilities of this GPS are not only useful but really fun to use.
If you enjoy the outdoors whether it be hiking, climbing, camping, hunting or anything else, the Garmin Oregon 400T will help guide your way. There are various modes on the Oregon 400T including automotive, marine, geocaching, fitness and recreation. There is also a built-in compass to point you the right direction.
Garmin is typically the household name of GPS and they have done a phenomenal job with the Oregon 400T. As one of the premier handheld GPS systems, the Oregon 400T is on the higher end at $600 but has the features and quality to match. You can pick up a cheaper handheld GPS system but you won’t find one quite like the Oregon 400T.
