What's Hot

Unique control scheme, good quality display, wireless sharing function, configurable profile changes

What's Not

Case isn’t tightly sealed, mapping isn’t detailed enough

The Final Word

The Colorado 300 provides a slightly cheaper, non-touch-screen alternative to the Oregon 300. With both models proving good combination automotive/handheld GPS devices, the decision largely comes down to your preferred control scheme.
