Take Pictures and Save Locations
Capture
locations and memories with Garmin 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
Garmin
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
Garmin
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.

Geocaching.com for up to 5000 caches, such as location, terrain,
