So What's It All About?
The Garmin Oregon 550t is a rugged handheld GPS system which will meet all of your outdoor navigation needs. With preloaded European recreation mapping, a high-sensitivity GPS receiver, electronic compass and barometric altimeter, there really is no excuse for getting lost as the 550t takes care of all your navigation requirements.
Thanks to a microSD card slot, the Oregon allows you to plug in preloaded cards (sold separately) containing mapping for whatever your activity, be it on land or water. Alternatively you can insert a MapSource card which provides the 550t with detailed street maps providing turn by turn directions to your destination.
What's Good?
The Oregon 550t comes with a 3.2 megapixel autofocus digital camera with 4 x digital zoom. The beauty of the 550t's camera is that it automatically geotags each photo with the location from where it was taken.
This gives you the option of returning back to the location from where your pictures were taken. You have the option with the Oregon 550t of taking and viewing pictures in landscape or portrait mode and the 850 MB of internal memory gives you plenty of room to store your images. You can connect your Garmin 550t via USB and upload and store your photos at picasa.
Touch and Go
The Garmin Oregon 550t has a tough, 7.62 cm (3 in) diagonal, sunlight-readable, colour touchscreen display with a simple-to-use menu system. Both durable and waterproof, Oregon 550t is built to withstand the elements.
Get Your Bearings
The Garmin Oregon 550t has a built-in 3-axis tilt-compensated electronic compass, which shows where you're heading even when you're standing still, without holding it level. Its barometric altimeter tracks changes in pressure to pinpoint your precise altitude.
With high-sensitivity, WAAS-enabled GPS receiver and HotFix satellite prediction, Oregon 550t locates your position quickly and precisely and maintains its GPS location even in heavy cover and urban landscapes.
Explore Backcountry in 3-D
The Garmin Oregon 550t's preloaded Europe recreation map, 3-D map view and built-in worldwide basemap with shaded relief give you all the tools for serious climbing or hiking. Map detail is simple and easy to read, and includes terrain contours at 100 m (328 ft) intervals, land use information, rivers, lakes and street-level detail for 29 countries across Europe.
The European preloaded map corresponds to an approximate detail of a 1:100,000 scale map. And, just in case you're wondering how steep that hill really is, Oregon's 3-D map view helps you visualise your surroundings, giving you a better perspective of the elevation.
Add Maps
Conveniently plug in optional preloaded microSD cards for all your outdoor activities, whether you are walking, driving or on the water.
On the trail a Garmin GB Discoverer microSD card gives detailed topographic and Ordnance Survey map detail, showing terrain contours, summits, trails and more.
On the road you can add Garmin GB Discoverer or City Navigator mapping for detailed street maps and turn-by-turn directions to your destination.
On the water you can add BlueChart g2 maps which provide information such as depth contours, full charting and harbours.
Go Geocaching
Go paperless with the Garmin Oregon 550t by quickly downloading information from Opencaching.com for up to 5,000 caches, such as location, terrain, difficulty, hints and description.
Use for Running or Cycling
The Oregon is compatible with Garmin's heart-rate monitors and speed/cadence sensors and can track your speed, distance, elevation and location.
Share Wirelessly
