The Oregon 450t comes with a built-in DEM (digital elevation model) basemap, which supports terrain shading and route elevation profiles, to help you visualise terrain difficulty. The Garmin Oregon 450t comes preloaded with state-of-the-art 3-D elevation perspective and topographic map data of Australia, allowing you to estimate terrain difficulty. The included routable road content is provided by NAVTEQ and HEMA, and contains everything from urban streets to national highways including famous outback routes such as Birdsville, Strzelecki, Oodndatta, Canning Stock and more. You can search for points of interest by name or proximity and include lodging, entertainment, food, airports, parks, campsites, caravan parks and more. The preloaded mapping includes railways, tracks, paths and trails (including 4WD destinations), national, regional and local park coverage as well as water coverage of perennial and seasonal lakes, rivers and streams.

You can also add marine mapping, for whatever adventure you want to take your Oregon 450t on! It's fully waterproof and rugged enough to withstand bumps, dust, dirt, humidity and water. You can also wirelessly share your waypoints, routes and geocaches with other Oregon users. All at the touch of a button!

With the built in 3-axis tilt-compensated compass, you can report an accurate heading even when the unit is not held level. The barometric altimeter displays bearing information and precise altitude information. Even while standing still. You can even plot barometric pressure over time to keep track of changing weather conditions. Measure elevations, to an accuracy of a few metres, and decide on heads of water. Envisage property land form, or dam design, with the elevation profile on any track. For recreation or aviation, work out rates of climb and descent, and read the elevation history profile.

The high-sensitivity GPS receiver features HotFix™. HotFix™ satellite prediction helps find your position quickly and precisely while the high-sensitivity GPS maintains its signal even in heavy cover and deep canyons.
