Garmin Colorado 400t GPS Review

Garmin Colorado 400t GPS – Super advanced handheld GPS unit.

I may mostly like that one of the most bad ass Garmin GPS units out there is named after the state where I was born and raised (and where I have spent most my time in the wildnerness), but the Garmin Colorado 400t is one sophisticated GPS unit.

The Garmin Colorado 400t GPS is like the iPhone of GPS units. That remark not only comes from the Garmin Colorado 400t GPS units touch screen and sharp graphics, but from its price tag as well. The Garmin Colorado 400t GPS has built in geocaching features and is sure to get hardcore geocachers hearts pumping.

Regular users of GPS units will appreciate that Garmin Colorado 400t GPS units readability even in direct sunlight. The screen offers super bright colors and crisp imagery. With so much detail in the maps, you will want to be able to see it all. The Garmin Colorado 400t GPS comes loaded with a cool 3D “walking the Trail” mapping which offers stunning maps and shaded relief areas.

The Garmin Colorado 400t GPS is also compatible with a number of other Garmin devices that are sold separately. These include the Garmin heart rate monitor and GSC 10 Speed and Cadence Sensor for biking. Convince your buddy to buy a Garmin Colorado 400t GPS and you can easily share information and waypoints wirelessly.
