Take Pictures and Save Locations
Capture locations and memories with Garmin Oregon 550t'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 Garmin Oregon 550 via USB and log

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
Garmin Oregon 550t 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, Garmin Oregon 550t is built to
withstand the elements. Bumps, dust, dirt, humidity and water are no match for
this rugged navigator.
Explore the Terrain
Garmin Oregon 550t comes with built-in U.S. topographic data for the
continental U.S. and a worldwide basemap with shaded relief — all the tools for
serious climbing or hiking. Map detail includes national, state and local parks
and forests, along with terrain contours, elevation information, trails, rivers,
lakes and points of interest.
Get Your Bearings
Garmin Oregon 550t 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,
Garmin Oregon 550t locates your position quickly and precisely and maintains its
GPS location even in heavy cover and deep canyons.
