Garmin Oregon 450T

Anyone have any experience with this unit, good bad? They are on sale on line at Cabelas for $170 off.

I want one.

The touch screen seems extremely handy. Expecially compared to the wheel model like the 60csx. I'm around a lot of dudes who need them for work. Only a few carry the Oregon on concerns about durability and what not. One dropped his, the screen cracked, and not its pretty much useless. I'm not sure whether Garmin has a cell phone-type replacement or repair program.

I just picked one up today, love it so far.  I was debating between it and the new 62csx and with the discount, it was an easier choice for sure.  I got it new out the door at 331 after military discount and tax...  Saved 180 bucks buy buying it at the store.  You need to take the on line add with you to the guy at the GPS counter and he will mark the price to match.  As the store does not have the discount marked or on their price computers as of yet.  Picking up the BLM Maps of Wy and Mo for future use.  Super easy as I figured almost all functions already....

If loaded correctly, it's the best out of state hunting tool available today...for me anyway.

Can't wait to try out the BLM maps and see exactly where and what it looks like...

I have an idea, let Tmike borrow it next week so we can give it a good field trial, lol.

cohoho you a re right it is super easy to figure out. I have not had a GPS with this much stuff on it and was intimidated at first. My last GPS was a Rhino 110 and it blew up in my hand. I have determined not to use Alkiline Batts they dont last a whole day. I am charging some HR6 bats hope thewy last longer.
