Comments about Garmin Garmin Oregon 450t Handheld GPS with Topo US Maps:
We have been using this product for a while and really enjoy it. We use it mainly for geocaching and have just starting using the tracking feature for hunting. We are excited to use it during ski season to track our elevation and miles. The maps are a lot more accurate on this one than the 400. We highly recommend it! The topo is pretty good and have not needed the 24k yet. We got the Eneloop batteries and charger and have been pretty successful getting longer battery time with those.
