Sorry, can't read your link. Yes, the 600 series have a 4,000 waypoint limit, but they can index 4 million geocaches. I used gsak to load the caches in the new GGZ format. GSAK can generate GGZs automatically. See http://garminoregon6xx.wikispaces.com/Hardware for the model specs.Aushiker wrote:How are you able to do that?

Re: Garmin Oregon 650
Before you jump in, I would wait till some of these bugs are resolved if your intending taking it O/S soon as I think you will be very frustrated with compass as it stands now, but if you willing to do a little stop/start dance then go ahead.Hoojar wrote:Had a conversation with the Minister for Finance on Friday night.

Re: Garmin Oregon 650
Thanks mate, I was about to message you and get your thoughts on the new unit!! The plan at this stage is to buy one cheap(er) when we get over to the US, and then buy the Australian Topo maps when we come home.mtrax wrote:Before you jump in, I would wait till some of these bugs are resolved if your intending taking it O/S soon as I think you will be very frustrated with compass as it stands now, but if you willing to do a little stop/start dance then go ahead.

I got mine quite a while ago from ThinkGeek, but they no longer seem to stock them. I'm sure the internet will help you find a stockist.Aushiker wrote:Thanks for the heads-up. Where do you get yours?LouiseAnn wrote:I have a pair of these:

Re: Garmin Oregon 650
Hi
Well took the plunge and ordered a Garmin Oregon 600 express delivered for $410.00 from Highly Tuned Athletes along with a bike mount. Hopefully it plays nice and also works with well with my HRM and Cadence sensors.
BTW has anyone tried using a non-Garmin rechargeable setup?

Have you tried calibrating the compass?
