The Oregon 550 is a waterproof hand-held device that’s perfect for hikers, bikers, backpackers and boaters. Its camera offers four-times digital zoom and 850 megabytes of internal memory; it also includes a microSD slot for additional photo storage. Every photo is automatically geotagged with the precise location where it was taken.
The Oregon 550 has a three-inch touch screen that Garmin says is readable in bright sunlight, and also includes a built-in compass. The device employs a barometric altimeter that can help you determine altitude (and, Garmin says, be your own weatherman by plotting barometric pressure to predict weather conditions).
The device comes loaded with a worldwide base map and enables you to add maps (via the microSD slot) that meet your navigational needs, including street maps that offer turn-by-turn directions and maps for rivers, lakes and oceans.
Garmin also unveiled the Oregon 550t, a $600 version of the navigator that is loaded with topographic data for the continental United States and a worldwide base map with shaded relief.
