azslim Report post Posted October 18, 2012 haven't used the Montana, picked up the Oregon 450T last year, works great, maps of the entire US preloaded, only complaint - why would you ever have a "delete all waypoints" button. I hate that button. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I hate that button. Know what you mean. After you push that button it should as you "Are You Sure", (Push Button), ARE YOU REALLY SURE! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I hate that button. Dont know anything about the Montana but I have an old Garmin Legend that I would be lost without! I was on the cabelas and saw they have the Oregan 450 on sale! http://www.cabelas.com/catalog/browse/bargain-cave-electronics-gps-handheld-accessories/_/N-1102702/Ns-CATEGORY_SEQ_105682680?WTz_l=SBC%3Bcat105591780%3Bcat105681780 Maybe something to look into Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DesertBull Report post Posted October 18, 2012 For the same price or less you can a GPSMAP 62. Bullet proof and you can get free topo and road maps for it online. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have the 60c which is the first one of the 60 series, can't go wrong with the gps map62. That would be my choice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cosninocanines Report post Posted October 18, 2012 I have had 4 Garmin units and presently have the Oregon 450t, my favorite was the etrex VistaHCx. I would agree that the GPSMAP 62 is hard to beat. I use mine in conjunction with National Geographics TOPO US to track trails and roads and locate items off the topo map onto the gps as waypoints, then when in the field I can find springs and certain points I want to find. http://www.gpsfiledepot.com/maps/ is a great source for topo maps (FREE) that you can load onto your gps if you have a SD card in the unit.

Doggy Report post Posted October 18, 2012 I have the 650 and love it, I bought it because of the large screen,I already had the maps so I did not have to buy the 650T, it also has the Birds Eye option (satelite view) which is like 30 bucks a year for the subscription, I do not have that but it sounds like it would be cool to have.

Shedhunteraz Report post Posted October 18, 2012 We have to the 650. Use it on our ranger. Dont waste the money on the 650t. Just buy the hunting gps maps. They are awesome. Worth the money, never had any issues. Can type cords right in, mark waypoints. You can set it like we do to mark your current route incase you lost its impossible too. Hope this helps. Pm if you have any questions. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
