User Ratings and Reviews

5 Stars Best GPSr I’ve ever owned (and this is my 4th)
I’ve always chosen Garmin units, and bought my first in 1995. This is my first new GPS receiver in 8 years, and to the basic technology of reporting your position, it adds a very nice color interface, Wherigo games, really easy PC connectivity, Geocaching features, a decent road and topo map, lots of points of interest, the list goes on…

I am not sure I like the touch screen, and the screen could be brighter, but other than that I’m completely happy.

1 Star Garmin customer service is horrible
I am so annoyed with this companies customer service I am tempted to take the product back! I like the GPS but beware if you order maps or need a question answered!

4 Stars Instructions leave much to be desired!
Other than the basic use of this item, the leaning curve is a bit steep, and you need to go to the manual instructions to attach and download material to your computer. Also, instructions do not follow what actually is displayed. Consequently, some “blind” steps must be taken. Viewing in bright sunlight is not the best. I still have not figured out how to enter and use several coordinate locations and there does not appear to be any instructions!! Instruction manual is very brief!! Many of the attributes are not discussed!

2 Stars Defective Unit?
I purchased the Oregon 400t for hiking and geocaching. I fired the GPS up and after locking onto a bunch of satelites, I checked the location of my house; the unit showed my house on another street! I checked again the next day and got the exact same information. Either the mapping and coordinates are not synchronized or the GPS is defective. Also I was not impressed with the touch screen; I tried to create a waypoint but one side of the touch screen was not very sensitive; I had to touch many times before a letter would pop up whereas the middle and right side of the screen were OK. Since I needed accuracy for geocaching (like my Garmin 60 csx) and was not impressed with the touch screen, I decided to return this GPS.

5 Stars Garmin Oregon 400T
It is the best handheld GPS I’ve ever used. It is easy to use and it does everything I’ve expected. It is very compact and easy to carry discreetly.
