A Good update to a modern Classic

I have owned this GPS since December 2011 and mainly used as navigation back up whilst walking and geocaching. It was purchased as an update to my now ancient original e-trex vista, I have used plenty of different GPS units in the past as I teach geocaching to community groups and have to say this new unit is pretty impressive, I found its sensitivity and speed at acquiring a signal a vast improvement on the two previous models and now have good route recording ability in almost all areas bar extremely heavy overhead cover. Battery life and weight are also improved with 2 AA’s lasting at least 2 full days out on the hill, recording 20+km routes without fault.
I wasn’t so impressed with the Birdseye software I found it difficult to upload a specific area without wasting credits and using it to plot and adjust routes clunky and at times just plain frustrating when compared to other mapping software, I have also had compatibility issues when attempting to download routes direct to this unit from other mapping software so hopefully Garmin will update to fix these bugs.
If you’re looking for compact lightweight, battery efficient unit you can drop into puddles whist on the trail, then this little unit is for you, if you want straight forward mapping to use with your home computer I would look around for other options to help out.

Great entry level GPS but frustrating at first

This is a robust, well designed unit and is reasonably priced, and very quick to get a location fix. However it is an entry level unit and as such would really benefit from better information to get people started (given that they are likely to be new to this). Also if you want maps on your hand held GPS look elswhere. The world base map which it advertises as included (for the uninitiated)is effectively the co-ordinates of large (ish) towns and cities (virtually no graphics). What this GPS offers is the ability to find geocaches on a well known website, download them onto the unit, and then go and get the cache and it does that very well indeed. I would have given it 5 stars if the info and initial guidance / manual had been more helpful. Now i am used to it (2 weeks) i love it, but i have had to work at it. Also the up side of no maps is no large bills for buying the maps!!

All purpose GPS receiver

All purpose GPS receiver which can be configured as an outdoor mapping GPS or a car satnav or a small boat navigator (with the optional mounts). It can be instantly switched between these profiles. It has numerous extra features such as calculator and alarm clock as well as elaborate Geocaching waypoint treatment. It is quite heavy for use as a hiking handheld but it is very useful. Beware of downloading every new software update from Garmin. Every new feature is accomanied by a new set of bugs in previous features (the recent software doesn't seem to be under control).
The Montana is worth considering if you want an all purpose GPS and you are prepared to spend time understanding all the features.
You can create your own (Garmin format) background maps using free internet software if you are able spare the time and effort.

Potentially great.....but

This is pretty pretty much the gps unit that does everything. I've cycled with it walked with it and used it for driving gps and as a speedo when mine packed up. I haven't had too much problems with the interface but admit i haven't delved into some of the more complex parts of the system yet. However, unlike my other Garmin GPS units this has been very unreliable. The touch screen became unresponsive in certain areas and the unit had to be replaced. The one i have now has taken to switching itself off then back on at random ,but frequent, intervals. Not what i expect from a system of this cost and certainly not from Garmin

so different

I admit that the unit takes a little getting use to after convential units but once you start to understand how it takes some beeting.

Gone is the create a waypoin at every turn simply
enter a couple close then use the map to sort out the footpaths. The detail they managed to put in to the gb map with the 4" viewing screen is unbelieveable.use direct route, and learn how good it is. lock the screen toprevent the garmin accidently bringing up waypoints you dont want.
switch to compas for tacking down geocaches.

Still the learning curve is quite hard if you try to use as an extrect, i tried that it dont work the same way.

Steer clear!

So far I'm really wishing I had followed the salesmans advice and bought a Satmap instead. It's looking like this will be a very expensive purchase just to sit in the original box. It's not intuative at all, if you expect the same quality of touch screen operation as an iPhone then forget it. Its not responsive and acts almost how and when it feels like it. The operation is extremely puzzling, perhaps when I've spent hours and hours playing with it I might even be able to use it. I'm following the instructions (which you have to download) word for word and mine doesnt work as the book says it should. All in all extremely disappointed.

Comparative vs. Satmap Active 10

Couple of years ago I bought a Satmap GPS over Garmin Oregon 450 primarily based on overall screen size (eyesight is not what it used to be so the more screen estate the better).

Whilst the Satmap has been a faithful servant the launch of the Garmin Montana 600 sees many of my wishes answered.

Full Uk mapping included in this bundle at a fair price (esp. given 10% off with Cotswold membership card offer in play).

Has large screen and simpler, less fussy design and functionality than Satmap which is beginning to feel like it needs an updated model / refresh.

3 axis compass is very accurate and stable regardless of how you hold this unit (2 axis on Satmap has always been jumpy unless held dead flat).

Garmin Montana is frighteningly quick at picking up and holding GPS signals based on early useage - it even works indoors. Have had issues in Keswick collecting GPS wth Satmap and occasionally dropping signals so this is good news.

Ability to use Montana as a proper car SatNav with inbuilt aka Nuvi is also a bonus.

Battery change capability is better than in Satmap - especially if power becomes an issue on a cold wet day. No complex removal of battery cradles to accommodate a different type of battery here.

Make no mistake though, this is a big beastie with its 4 inch screen (same width but 1/2 inch longer than Satmap and almost twice as big as an Oregon). It is also pretty bulky front-to-back but feels ok in the hand and is certainly robust.

Needs more accessory support - no dedicated lanyard or belt clip / carabina (exist for Oregon and Dakota models). Have cobbled something myself for now pending this no doubt coming through.

Free Garmin Basecamp software for route planning is OK although could do with polishing. Accepts imports from other sources (e.g. gpx files) which is handy. Good enough for me to use and drop Mapyx Quo. Either is better than Satmap's (paid for in my case) solution.

As with Oregon / Dakota screen touchscreen is perhaps slightly slow to respond - sometimes needs a second prod. Redraws when panning are not so adept as the Satmap. However, all in I am very happy with the unit from early use.

Service from Cotswold Bristol branch also typically good.

Great product with maps included

Did my research looking for GPS for walking & cycling. Ideally wanted to use my Memory Maps on the GPS but didnt want their GPS as had bad experience with Road Angel GPS bought from them - touch screen went beyond recalibrating & tricky to keep routes when battery went flat. Already had etrek for years - v good. Ideal not out there but Oregon with maps bundled comes closest for me. Prefer Oregon cycle mount to etrek one - fits any size handlebars which etrek doesnt.

Very Good handheld Mapping GPS overall

We bought the Garmin Oregon 450 GB 1:50k at Cotswold Outdoors in the Cotswold Water Park. This purchase was made after considerable investigation and trial of other products.

Overall the GPS meets our needs for outdoor walking, geocaching and general outdoor activities. We even took it canoeing, mountain biking and to navigate in the car.

The Garmin GPS products are very good and this is no exception, but not perfect. This is our third Garmin device (an early non-mapping device, a GPS62st borrowed from work and this). Plus we've had Road Angel, Memory Map, PDAs and TomTom.

Garmin devices are very good for Geocaching as they can work with various websites, transfer cach information including descriptions, hint, recent finds etc. This is the main reason we bought another device. fast startup and GPS lock (few seconds), accurate positioning (often less than 10ft) with EGNOS, good battery life (although you'll need to purchase rechargables in the long term), robust, chunky to hold (but will take up a little more space than others in your pocket, and the original Garmin case is just too big), nice customisable menus. very usable.

It all synchronises with free basecamp software on your PC, and when connected runs from usb power rather than internal batteries if you setup to do that.

The slight negatives are the device doesn't come with a rechargable battery like other modern devices do (only the Garmin Colorado 600 series seems to have this). The chunky size is great to hold and use but still a bit thick for your pocket (the Colorado with 4" screen is HUGE). A 3" screen is just ok for 1:50k mapping (it's always a compromise with mapping between a usable size and how much can be displayed compared to a paper map).

Overall it is a very good handheld GPS for geocaching and fine for walking and outdoor activities.

We prefer the Memory Map ADV 3500 for walking (especially with 1:25k maps... the 3.5" screen is visibly fantastic but the touchscreen performance is very poor in usability)

We also liked the Garmin GPSMAP 62s which has a 2.8" screen but not a touchscreen. If you don't like touchscreens then I can recommend that as an alternative.

I probably give the Oregon 450 GB four and a half stars as 5 would imply it was perfect.

I think Cotswold should consider renting devices to customers so they could try several alternatives in real life before buying the one they find best. You'd probably have to pay the full price as a deposit but I would honestly do that. Until you have the device out in the wilds and try to use it for what you want you really don't know if it will suit you. For example I have to wear reading glasses and that makes quite a difference to the screens I can and cannot use without glasses. Devices with buttons are easier in those situation. But to see the maps clearly I always have to put glasses back on.

Thanks Cotswold.

Simple to set up & use

A great bit of kit if you can afford it.
I used it in the Welsh mountains and the Lake District last year for more than eight weeks. in bad weather trying to use a paper map is a pain even when in a waterproof cover. although I always have map and compass with me, I found them to be almost redundant. I was able to follow all tracks & paths on my planned route with my new 'Garmin Oregon' without the need to keep looking at the paper map. however the old map is more useful to get a larger overview of an area.
The only thing I don't like is the blue position arrow, it would be better with a circle with cross hairs in the middle (like some other brands) so it does not cover map info' you have to keep zooming in to get vital details. Having said all that I have no regrets in buying it.

Garmin GPSMap 62s

Bought this to replace a lost Memory Map Adv3500. I wanted a unit with buttons rather than a touch screen and the £50 trade-in offer for my old Etrex made it affordable. Being able to press a button to go straight to the different pages of information is excellent. The information on each page can be customised as can the sequence of the menu lists. You can save several different configurations or profiles for different uses - I've saved the same options as two profiles, one setup for metric and the other imperial so when I'm walking I can just switch profiles to check distance, altitude, etc in km-miles, m-feet, km/hr-mph etc. The GPS accuracy seems to be better than 3 metres most of the time. The unit comes with worldwide base mapping with main roads named. I got the bundle with GB 1:50k OS mapping. This also gets overlaid with all street names and individual addresses and points of interest of the built in GB street map. The text size of these overlays can be adjusted or turned off so it can be used as a road satnav although it does not speak to you. The clarity of the OS mapping does not seem as good as the Memory Map Adv3500 but this may be because of the smaller screen. My unit didn't have the latest software installed but the upgrade procedure was painless. Good points - too many to list but the functionality and customisation and general usability are excellent, it's the right shape and size to hold in one hand and use your thumb to operate - and it runs on AA batteries so you can always carry spares. Bad points - smaller screen than touch screen units. Thanks to the really helpful staff at Cotswold Outdoor Chester.

Probably the best waling GPS so far

I've had various GPS devices over the years and for walking over the past few, I have used a Garmin eTrex Legend. This is the replacement (the eTrex, I have given to friend).

The fact that it comes with the 1:50000 OS maps already (on a separate micro SD card, just to be inserted), means that it is very easy to spot alternate routes when out walking and the originally planned route looks a bit iffy for some reason.

However, the very best bit is being able to scan in paper maps and use them.

So, I'm off on holiday trekking in Greenland. I have bought the paper maps of the area where I will be. I have now scanned in the area and created a JPEG file. The next step is to load up Google Earth and add in the JPEG as an overlay. (Find the place in Google Earth first, then add the overlay). The time consuming bit is to move, rotate and stretch the JPEG so that it exactly matches the ground on Google Earth. I found it best to keep changing the opaque slider to see exactly what I have done. Eventually, I'm happy.

Now click the OK button in the dialogue and this is saved in Google Earth. You now need to right click on the name of the map (in the left hand table of places) and select . Save as a .kmz file (the d
