Garmin 600 and 650

[Commando]

What the difference between the Garmin 600 and 650? Is it mainly just the camera? Cabelas has a good deal on the 600... or should I wait and save tonget the 650?

[blackdog]

the 610 has a weaker radio.

Some preloaded maps maybe. Usually not that detailed of maps.

[Commando]

Sobthw 600 for less then 300 would be worth it?

[Reidus]

Which series.....rino...oregon?

[Commando]

Oregon

[Crunchy]

Rino hands down

Rino hands down

Yep....650 or 655 w/camera.

Rino is worth while if you have someone else with one.  Makes it nice, you can find them on your map and talk/text them.  If you hunt mostly solo, I'd probably go with the Oregon.


For the record I have a rino 650 and love it.

the 610 has a weaker radio.

biggest is this . 600 has LOW WATTAGE (this means way less range) . line of sight transmission vs obstructed goes way down with the 600 (hills , woods , ect..). The 650 works very well, have several. 655 gives cam and weather adds (for a pretty penny). The camera is pretty good too, you can chip it and leave your other camera at home, one less thing to carry.

Watch Cabelas for specials on the 650's, even home depot! Should be able to get for under 350$ if you are patient.

650 or 655T Rino. If your partner doesn't have a Rino now, they can get one the next time they need a GPS. Knowing where your buddy is and being able to communicate with them is huge. It really puts a whole new perspective on using the GPS and working with another hunter.

I saw the sale too and ordered the 600. I think the difference is the 650 has a camera. Arrives today so I will see tonight what I think.

I run the Oregon 600. Works great. Paid like $225 from cabelas. I dont think tje 650 is worth the extra $$.
