adventures even more memorable.
Take Pictures and Save Locations
Capture locations and memories with Garmin Oregon 550's 3.2 megapixel
autofocus digital camera with 4x digital zoom. Each photo is automatically
geotagged with the location of where it was taken, allowing you to navigate back
to that exact spot in the future. Snap and view pictures in landscape or
portrait orientation. With 850 MB of internal memory, you'll never miss a photo
opportunity. To store online, simply connect Garmin Oregon 550 via USB and log
into my.Garmin.com to upload and store your photos at Picasa, a popular online
photo sharing community for friends and families around the world. For more
storage, insert a microSD card; you can even view pictures from other devices on
microSD with Oregon's picture viewer.
Touch and Go
Garmin Oregon 550 makes rugged navigation effortless with a tough, 3-inch
diagonal, sunlight-readable, color touchscreen display. The interface is easy to
use, so you’ll spend more time enjoying the outdoors and less time searching for
information. Both durable and waterproof, Garmin Oregon 550 is built to
withstand the elements. Bumps, dust, dirt, humidity and water are no match for
this rugged navigator.
Get Your Bearings
Garmin Oregon 550 has a built-in 3-axis tilt-compensated electronic compass,
which shows your heading even when you’re standing still, without holding it
level. Its barometric altimeter tracks changes in pressure to pinpoint your
precise altitude, and you can even use it to plot barometric pressure over time,
which can help you keep an eye on changing weather conditions. And with its
high-sensitivity, WAAS-enabled GPS receiver and HotFix satellite prediction,
Oregon 550 locates your position quickly and precisely and maintains its GPS
location even in heavy cover and deep canyons.
Add Maps
Garmin Oregon 550 comes preloaded with a worldwide built-in basemap with
shaded relief. Adding even more detail is easy: just insert a MapSource microSD
card preloaded with detailed maps. Garmin Oregon can accept a variety of maps
for any navigational need. Add detailed street maps to get turn-by-turn
directions to your destination. Add select topographic maps to take advantage of
Garmin Oregon’s 3-D maps and elevation detail. Or add BlueChart g2 maps, which
provide everything you need for a great day on the water, including depth
contours, navaids and harbors.
Find Fun
Go paperless with Garmin Oregon 550 by quickly downloading information from
Geocaching.com for up to 5000 caches, such as location, terrain, difficulty,
hints and description. No more manually entering coordinates and paper print
outs. Slim and lightweight, Oregon is the perfect companion for all your outdoor
pursuits.
