On GPS Tracklog, Rich Owings has a review of Garmin’s Oregon 450 handheld GPS receiver. (I’m finally at a point where I can read such reviews and understand what they’re getting at.) Rich recommends it: “The Oregon 450 is a great workhorse, at a reasonable price. The interface is very user friendly and it has a lengthy feature set. It is an excellent choice for nearly any outdoor activity, including geocaching and hiking. This is the first Oregon I’m recommending for bikes too, due to the improved screen visibility, which makes it more appropriate for fixed-mount use.”
