Garmin Colorado 300 Questions and Answers

Question: Are you still selling the Colorado 300? if so what is the price please, also what would be the cost of UK 1:50 OS Maps?

Answer: The Garmin Colorado 300 was discontniuned many years ago by Garmin, it has been replaced and supseded multiple times by many new Garmin handheld GPS devices.

We do sell the latest TOPO Great Britain 1:50K map title (released Spring 2018), however Garmin do not list the Colorado 300 as a compatible model.

I would suggest that you consider buying a different Garmin handheld model.
