The Oregon 450 comes with a built-in worldwide basemap with shaded contours. Simply touch the color screen to navigate. Its digital elevation maps show you shaded contours at higher zoom levels, giving you a big picture of the surrounding terrain.

Share Wirelessly
With the Oregon 450 you can share your waypoints, tracks, routes and geocaches wirelessly with other users of compatible Oregon, Colorado and Dakota units.  Now you can send your favorite hike to your friend to enjoy or the location of a cache to find. Sharing data is easy - just touch "send" to transfer your information to similar units.

Find Fun
The Oregon 450 supports Geocaching.com GPX files for downloading geocaches and details straight to your unit.  By going paperless, you're not only helping the environment but also improving efficiency. The Oregon stores and displays key information; including location, terrain, difficulty, hints and descriptions, which means no more manually entering coordinates and paper print outs! Simply upload the GPX file to your unit and start hunting for caches.  Show off photos of your excursions with the Oregon's picture viewer.  Slim and lightweight, Oregon is the perfect companion for all your outdoor pursuits.

Get Your Bearings
The Oregon 450 has a built-in, 3-axis, tilt-compensated electronic compass which, without even holding it level, shows your heading - regardless of whether you're standing still. Its barometric altimeter tracks changes in pressure to pinpoint your precise altitude, and you can even use it to plot barometric pressure over time, which can help you keep an eye on changing weather conditions.  See changes in your elevation both ahead and behind with enhanced track navigation: with its high-sensitivity, WAAS-enabled GPS receiver and HotFix satellite prediction, the Oregon 450 locates your position quickly and precisely and maintains its GPS location even in heavy cover and deep canyons.

Add Maps
Conveniently plug in optional preloaded microSD cards for all your outdoor activities on land or water.  Just insert a MapSource card with detailed street maps, and Oregon provides turn-by-turn directions to your destination.  Add select topographic maps to take advantage of the Oregon's 3-D map view, which gives you a better perspective of your elevation.  With BlueChart g2, you'll get everything you need for a great day on the water including depth contours, navaids and harbors.  The card slot is located inside the waterproof battery compartment, so you don't have to worry about getting it wet.
