garmin oregon 400t
Jul 11, 2008 garmin, gps navigation
Finally we have Garmin Oregon 400t which will fly off the shelves since it only costs $640 ( end sarcasm). While the other 400 Oregon models (400i, 400c) specialize in freshwater and saltwater, 400t specializes in topo maps and 3D map views.
The map that comes with Oregon 400t include details such as national, state and local parks and forests, terrain contours, elevation information, trails, rivers, lakes and points of interest. And in case topo maps mean nothing to you you can switch to the 3D map view to get an idea of how steep the hill is.
The rest of the specs such as the microSD card slot, USB interface, 3″ screen, barometric altimeter, electronic compass, rugged IPX7 waterproof case is all standard on 400t.

Is Oregon 400t supporting EGNOS (THE EUROPEAN VERSION OF WAAS) ?
If it does, how can I setup the device ?
Thanks

Regarding some reported display issues: My evaluation of the Garmin Oregon 400T indicates that the display is not that unacceptable in bright sunlight, regardless of most practical viewing angles, especially compared to other ‘touch screen’ GPS devices; i.e., cell phones. Unquestionably, the GPS MAP 60CSx with its backlit display is the most readable under all conditions. My Flickr Photo Page shows the results comparing the 400T with the AT&T Tilt, T-Mobile G1 and the GPS MAP 60CSx. It would be interesting to see this comparison with an iphone, which I don’t have.
