Explain star rating

RRP

Review Date

What's Hot

Full touch screen, attractive and minimal design, user-friendly interface, expandable memory, preloaded base map

What's Not

Provided maps aren’t detailed enough, display isn’t readable in direct sunlight, slow acquisition times, 3-D view isn’t available with preloaded maps

The Final Word

Garmin has provided a competitive handheld GPS device with the Oregon 300. It provides a full touch-screen experience in combination with a rugged casing and vital navigation tools. We would have preferred more detailed maps, but Garmin has provided room for expandability — making this an excellent choice.
