| I have used the GPS for geocaching and it is great. Menus are not intuitive, have to hunt for some menus. Mostly use for geocaching. Never had it off yet with 50 caches. Easy to use and makes caching easy. Accurate","Extensive Base Map","Intuitive Menu". I bought this for my husband for his trips he does (hunting & hiking, etc...). He has not put it down. He loves it. | |

| The Garmin C550 is totally user freindly. Additionally, when I paired the unit to my particular cell phone. SWEET for the price, this is an awesome unit. It works really well, it will stand up to all of the rugged wear and tear that i can put it through. | |

| Have no experience with another model to compare and am new to GPS use. Hopefully this will be of great help in the future. Love my Garmin GPS, just take the GPS out of car and wipe off ring on glass to save windows from being broken into. Like the size, look and operational ease. Superior way that it attached to windshield and swivels versus the Magellan Roadmate. | |

Before transferring data to or from a Web site directly to the Oregon, install the Garmin Communicator plug-in from
www.garmin.com/products /communicator.
Loading and Deleting Files
You can use the Oregon as a USB mass storage device, and you can purchase a separate microSD card for additional external memory.
Note: The Oregon is not compatible with Windows 95, 98, Me, or NT. It is also not compatible with Mac OS 10.3 or earlier. To load a file onto the Oregon or microSD card: 1.

Optimizing Battery Life
Use premium batteries for optimal performance and maximum battery life. The best performance is provided by lithium batteries, precharged (ready-to-use) NiMH batteries, and NiMH rechargeable batteries less than one year old with a capacity greater than 2500mAh.
Oregon Series Owners Manual39
Consider the following suggestions to maximize battery life: Do not adjust the backlight more than is necessary (page 3). Using a backlight level above 50% of maximum level for a prolonged period of time, will significantly decrease battery life. Select a shorter backlight timeout (page 26). Turn tones off if not needed (page 25).Turn electronic compass off if not needed (page 31). If you plan on using the Oregon extensively in your automobile, consider purchasing a vehicle power cable (http://buy.garmin. com).

Full description
The navigator with the photographic memory - Oregon 550t combines rugged outdoor touch screen navigation with a 3.2 mega pixel digital camera. Capture locations and memories with Oregon 550t's 3.2 mega pixel autofocus digital camera with 4x digital zoom. Each photo is automatically geo tagged 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. Oregon 550t makes rugged navigation effortless with a tough, 3-inch diagonal, sunlight-readable, color touch screen 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, Oregon 550t is built to withstand the elements. Bumps, dust, dirt, humidity and water are no match for this rugged navigator. Oregon 550t 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 550t locates your position quickly and precisely and maintains its GPS location even in heavy cover and deep canyons. With Oregon 550t you can share your waypoints, tracks, routes and geo caches wirelessly other Oregon and Colorado users. Now you can send your favorite route to a friend to enjoy or the location of a cache to find. Sharing data is easy. Just touch "send" to transfer your information to similar devices.
