The Garmin Colorado 300 is a handheld GPS unit that will not disappoint. Not only does it have a good 240 x 400 pixels color display, it also allows up to 15 hours of battery life. This device is designed specifically for the outdoors as it is also waterproof. Complete with a worldwide base map, you can find your way around wherever you are. In addition to this you can also add a range of local maps using the microSD memory card slot on the side of the phone. This makes the device ideal to be used by walkers and climbers. You can use the software that is there on the device with a range of third party mapping software. This allows you to plan and save your routes along with the topographic options to make it even easier to use as a navigation tool. This allows you to adjust your route to recognize all the geographical features. Featuring on the high end of the price spectrum, this is one device that you should go for only if you are after something that has all the fancy bells and whistles! Affordable devices have also been released by Garmin which have a more basic set of features.

One good thing about the Garmin Colorado 300 is that it performs very well. Not only are the innovative features easy to use and efficient, the user interface also looks nice and uncluttered. The operating system is very easy to use, as running applications on it take hardly any effort at all. Operating the unit in one palm is easy as the device feels both solid and looks great.

The new “Rock’n Roller” input wheel is quite the shocker looking out of place on the straight edged device! It is quite easy to get the hang of after using it for a few days. Check up on the device by reading all the Garmin Colorado 300 reviews available online.
