Best handheld GPS :Garmin Oregon 400t...

Garmin's cutting edge Oregon 400t earns the best reviews for its revolutionary iPhone-like touch screen, which makes navigating both your GPS and the backcountry easy and intuitive. In addition, the Oregon 400t includes all the other features you would expect from a top-of-the-line handheld GPS, such as paperless geocaching, a barometric altimeter, an electronic compass, user profiles, and built-in topographic maps. It even has the ability to share data wirelessly with other handhelds from Garmin's Oregon and Colorado lines. Many reviewers say that the Oregon 400t's 3-inch screen is on the dim side, which could make it difficult to use if you are unable to pause and adjust your viewing angle. Accuracy is good, but reports say some other handheld GPS receivers, such as the DeLorme PN-40 (*Est. $340), which uses the highly regarded SiRFstar III GPS signal processor, do better in that regard. The Oregon 400t comes with a compete set of U.S. topographic maps. Fisherman may be more interest in the Garmin Oregon 400c (*Est. $460) which has U.S. Bluechart maps (for saltwater fishing) or the Oregon 400i (*Est. $480), which has U.S. inland lakes maps (for freshwater fishing).
