I really like the Oregon’s touch screen interface.
There’s room for improvements but generally speaking, you can navigate menus faster than on other Garmin handhelds. The place where this really shines is when it comes to naming waypoints or entering other text; it is SO much easier. One of the concerns people have about the touch screen interface is how well it will work with gloves on or when wet, especially when doing detailed work like picking a point on the map.
For those of you who missed my first impressions post, let me go over how easy it is to select a point, then we’ll talk about gloves and conditions. You can select a location by tapping the map. My first attempt at tapping a nearby mountain peak got me close. Once I zoomed in I could see that I was about 2. Now you can drag the map underneath the pushpin — the pushpin doesn’t move, but the map does, allowing you to fine tune the location of the selected point, as shown at left below. Now tap the information box at the top of the screen to display options to navigate to the location or save it as a waypoint. I’ve tried using the touch screen with (very) sweaty fingers, fleece gloves and ski gloves.
I had no problem with the first two, and only minimal problems with bulky ski gloves on. Garmin Oregon display. Unfortunately, the touch screen comes with a significant drawback — visibility. I written about visibility problems on high resolution handhelds before, and it’s all true for the Oregon too. The Oregon may actually be a little worse than the Garmin Colorado. You can turn off shaded relief (shown below on and off) to help, but the map loses a lot of visual appeal by doing this.
How problematic this is depends upon your use. If you use the Oregon as a handheld, for hiking for example, you will intuitively adjust the viewing angle for maximum visibility. I don’t see it as a major problem in this situation. It’s more difficult for cyclists though, where the unit is at a fixed angle on your handlebars.
Still, with shaded relief disabled, it is usable on a bike. You won’t have the bright screen of a 6. CSx, but the touch screen may make it a worthwhile trade off. Garmin Oregon interface. The touch screen interface is a joy to use.
One handed operation is very easy; the buttons are large and I usually press them with my thumb. The main menu is spread across four screens, pictured below. The button order can be customized within different profiles. The creator of the Garmin Oregon Wiki has posted the bright idea (pardon the pun) of having a bright sun profile with shaded relief turned off. Garmin Oregon 2. 00 track management.

The Colorado screenshot, at left, gives you an example of the type of overlay screen you won’t get with the Oregon series. There is an excellent and detailed geocaching tutorial on the Garmin Oregon Wiki. Garmin Oregon 2. 00 accuracy. It has been reported that the Oregon series may not be as accurate as the 6. CSx, but that it doesn’t suffer as much from the wild swings of the Colorado series.
Yet the Oregon is new, and it sometimes takes a while to figure out the accuracy of these new units, so I would take the initial reports with a grain of salt. Here’s what I’ve found in my own use…In one test of the Oregon, I saw it deviate from previous tracks of the same trail by up to 1. You can see details at the end of this post.
Other times, it’s been spot on with my 6. CSx. My initial take is that the unit’s accuracy is not quite as good as some units with a quad helix antenna, but that it’s probably fine for most people. If you’re mapping trails professionally however, stick with the 6. CSx. You can read someone else’s take on Oregon accuracy here. UPDATE: Since writing this, several firmware releases have seen steady improvements in the Oregon’s accuracy, to the point where it is nearly as good as the venerable 6.
CSx. Differences between the Oregon and Colorado series. The big difference is the Oregon’s touch screen interface, whereas the Colorado relies on the "Rock N Roller" The battery cover is much easier to remove on the Oregon than it is on the Colorado The Oregon has a better waterproof seal and an improved location for the data storage card The Oregon uses a micro- SD card, while the Colorado uses a full size SD card The Oregon powers on faster than the Colorado The Oregon automatically sets your time zone; the Colorado does not It is easier to mark a waypoint on the Colorado, but the ability to custom name it much faster on the Oregon helps make up for this The Colorado has some geocaching mode screens not found on the Oregon Garmin Oregon 2.

What’s hot. The touch screen rocks and performs well under a wide range of conditions; the interface is very easy to navigate Text entry is easier than on any handheld GPS to date Strong track management tools Option to show data fields only when navigating Paperless geocaching What’s not. Screen visibility is poor in direct sunlight, unless you adjust the viewing angle There is no direct access to settings from key pages; for example, you can’t calibrate the compass from the compass screen; you must go to Setup > Heading > Prepare to Begin Compass Calibration. UPDATE: You can do this, by pressing and holding on the compass screen for a few seconds (thanks Miraslav!) You cannot mark a waypoint from any screen; going to the main menu to do this slows entry (but giving it a custom name is much faster than on other GPS devices) The current tracklog is difficult to see; it is a thin black line and you cannot change its width or color There is no waypoint averaging function Waypoint projection is difficult, as you have to manually enter a bearing (to project a waypoint, go to Mark Waypoint > Save and Edit > Project Waypoint > Enter Bearing); there is no sight n’ go function.

The Oregon 2. 00 is well suited for those who will truly use it as a handheld, such as hikers and geocachers. For bikers and others using it on the move, a lot depends on how you use it. If you like to do things with a GPS while you bike, or if you need to view the screen for navigation while on the move, you will likely be frustrated by the display. If, on the other hand, you only tend to use the GPS when stopped, it might work out fine for you.
The accuracy seems good enough for most people, geocachers included. As I said earlier, if you’re mapping trails professionally though, stick to a 6. CSx, at least until further testing determines if the Oregon is as accurate as this time- tested model. One other point — if you are wondering whether to get the Colorado or the Oregon, get the Oregon. It has almost all of the Colorado’s advantages, with a superior interface to boot. The Oregon series is so good that, after sending my review unit back, I plunked down my hard- earned cash on an Oregon 4.
