and microSD™ card slot. The result? A multipurpose device that will
make your biggest adventures even more memorable.
Take Pictures and Save Locations
Capture locations and memories with Oregon 550's 3.2 megapixel
autofocus digital camera with 4x digital zoom. Each photo is
automatically geotagged with the location of where it was taken,
allowing you to navigate back to that exact spot in the future. Snap
and view pictures in landscape or portrait orientation. With 850 MB of
internal memory, you'll never miss a photo opportunity. To store
online, simply connect Oregon 550 via USB and log into my.Garmin.com
to upload and store your photos at Picasa™, a popular online photo
sharing community for friends and families around the world. For more
storage, insert a microSD card; you can even view pictures from other
devices on microSD with Oregon's picture viewer.
Touch and Go
Oregon 550 makes rugged navigation effortless with a tough, 3-inch
diagonal, sunlight-readable, color touchscreen display. The interface
is easy to use, so you'll spend more time enjoying the outdoors and
less time searching for information. Both durable and waterproof,
Oregon 550 is built to withstand the elements. Bumps, dust, dirt,
humidity and water are no match for this rugged navigator.
Get Your Bearings
Oregon 550 has a built-in 3-axis tilt-compensated electronic
compass, which shows your heading even when you're standing still,
without holding it level. Its barometric altimeter tracks changes in
pressure to pinpoint your precise altitude, and you can even use it to
plot barometric pressure over time, which can help you keep an eye on
changing weather conditions. And with its high-sensitivity,
WAAS-enabled GPS receiver and HotFix™ satellite prediction, Oregon 550
locates your position quickly and precisely and maintains its GPS
location even in heavy cover and deep canyons.
Add Maps
Oregon 550 comes preloaded with a worldwide built-in basemap with
shaded relief. Adding even more detail is easy: just insert a
MapSource™ microSD card preloaded with detailed maps. Oregon can accept
a variety of maps for any navigational need. Add detailed street maps
to get turn-by-turn directions to your destination. Add select
topographic maps to take advantage of Oregon's 3-D maps and elevation
detail. Or add BlueChart™ g2 maps, which provide everything you need
for a great day on the water, including depth contours, navaids and
harbors.
Find Fun
Go paperless with Oregon 550 by quickly downloading information from
Geocaching.com for up to 5000 caches, such as location, terrain,
difficulty, hints and description. No more manually entering
coordinates and paper print outs. Slim and lightweight, Oregon is the
perfect companion for all your outdoor pursuits.
Share Wirelessly
With Oregon 550 you can share your waypoints, tracks, routes and
geocaches wirelessly other Oregon and Colorado users. Now you can send
your favorite route to a friend to enjoy or the location of a cache to
find. Sharing data is easy. Just touch "send" to transfer your
