The Oregon 600 series, which the 600 is part features Garmin's best ever screen on a Garmin handheld device. The Oregon 600 features a transflective colour 3-inch (diagonal) TFT touchscreen display which is also sunlight readable and strengthened for impact resistance too. The TFT display uses both sunlight and its’ LED backlight to control brightness meaning you can conserve power used by the backlight of the device and rely upon the sun light. Plus like the Garmin Montana handheld range, the units screen can be viewed in either landscape or portrait view, simply by holding/turning the unit - giving you the best view on the route, road or water ahead.

The Oregon 600 also has a built-in 3-axis 3D electronic compass, barometric altimeter and wireless connectivity with other compatible Garmin handheld devices. This enables you to wirelessly share geocaches waypoints, tracks and routes with other device owners. Plus with its vast internal 1.5GB memory you can store up to 4000 waypoints, 200 routes and 10,000 points on 200 saved tracks.

The Garmin Oregon 600 can be recharged using its rechargeable NiMH pack (included). You can also power the 600 using traditional AA batteries if you cannot recharge the system whilst you are using it on an adventure. The NiMH pack battery life is 16 hours.

The unit features a WAAS-enabled GPS receiver and GLONASS satellite tracking meaning there are more satellites for the device to lock on to. This will ensure you maintain satellite fix in built-up areas and woodlands.

The device also offers paperless geocaching providing full descriptions, cache photos, hints and logs and can store up to four million geochaches!

Preloaded to the entry-level Oregon 600's memory is a worldwide basemap with shaded relief. If you require topographical maps we recommend you buy the Oregon 600t instead. These maps provide rich map data with contours, elevation, roads and rivers, etc. The scale of these pre-installed topo maps is 1:100k.

Additional maps and charts are also available for the Oregon 600. Mapping options include: City Navigator street-level road maps, BlueChart g3 marine charts, TOPO maps and GB Discoverer Ordnance Survey LandRanger maps at 1:25k or 1:50k scale. Each of these maps are available on SD/microSD Card.

With BaseCamp software you can plan your trips viewing waypoints, tracks and routes before you set out. Share information about your adventure(s) with friends and family in 2-D or 3-D on a computer screen, including contour lines and elevation profiles.

If you would like a built-in 8 megapixel autofocus camera that provides digital zoom and automatic flash - which can also be used as a torch we recommend you buy the Garmin Oregon 650 or 650t. With these Garmin systems every photo taken is geotagged so that you can navigate back to the same location again.
