GPS reviews, news, tips and tricks
UPDATE: The deal is over.
Yes, you read that right. REI.com has the Garmin Oregon 450 GPS on sale for $249.99, dropping to $199.99 after a $50 mail in rebate. The sale runs through September 5, but beware that REI has sold out early on their great GPS sales before. This is an awesome deal on what has been the most popular handheld GPS on this site for the past eight months in a row!
EDIT: Sorry, this deal has expired. You can find more bargains at my GPS Deals site.
Okay, I try not to double up on the deal posts too often, but this one is too good not to post here and on my GPS deals site. REI.com has Garmin Oregon 450 on sale for $249.99 through September 6. That’s $50 less than I’ve ever seen it before; REI members get free shipping too. This is an awesome deal on what I called “the best Oregon yet” in my Oregon 450 review.
The Garmin Oregon 450
UPDATE: I’ve posted a hands on review of the Garmin Oregon 450
Garmin just couldn’t wait until the Consumer Electronics Show to start releasing new models. In a blog post this morning, they announced the touchscreen Oregon 450 and 450t handhelds. The only significant difference between them is that the 450t adds preloaded 1:100,000 scale topo maps for the entire US, rather than just the basemap found on the 450. These new units add a tri-axial compass to the feature set found on the Oregon 400t, so you don’t have to hold it level while navigating the wilds. The 450 series lacks the geotagging digital camera found in the 550 and 550t. At this point, those appear to be the major differentiators. The 450 series includes the recent firmware improvements that brought custom map capabilities to other Oregon models. I’ll update this post with product links once those are available. DONE!
