GPS device

Garmin Oregon 400t

There are plenty of good reasons that GPS manufacturers have sold tens of millions of personal navigation devices: Many of us are directionally challenged, and guys like me love our gadgets but hate to stop to ask for directions. Generally, If you're lost on the road, you have road signs to guide you, and despite how much it might kill your ego, you can pull into a service station for some help. But what if you lose your way hiking in the woods and there isn't a person in sight? A handheld GPS can make all of the difference between a fun and satisfying outdoor experience, and one that could put your life in jeopardy. And that's where Garmin's new Oregon 400t ($599.99 list) comes in.
