Owning a Colorado 400t GPS for quite some time. I thought it was time to try out a Garmin Oregon 550t. Garmin gets a lot of good reviews on their GPS models, so I decided to give the 550t a go. Needless to say, “I love it!” Not to say that there was anything wrong with my Colorado, it has been good to me. The Garmin 550t is a bit expensive, but well worth the money. The topo maps on both the GPS systems are quite similar, but that is where it ends.
I have not had any problems since I have been using the Garmin 550t. The visibility is quite clear in sunlight, which seems to be an issue in other reviews. Garmin 550T, Garmin 550T
