Garmin Dakota 20

Outdoor navigation meets touchscreen simplicity in Dakota 20. This rugged, palm-sized navigator combines touchscreen navigation, high-sensitivity GPS with HotFix™ satellite prediction, barometric altimeter, 3-axis electronic compass and microSD™ card slot in one affordable, power-packed punch.

Touch and Go

Dakota 20 makes outdoor navigation effortless with a tough, sunlight-readable, 2.6 inch color touchscreen display. The interface is easy to use, so you’ll spend more time enjoying the outdoors and less time searching for information. Both durable and waterproof, Dakota 20 is built to withstand the elements: bumps, dust, dirt and water are no match for this rugged navigator.

Get Your Bearings

Dakota 20 has a built-in 3-axis electronic compass, which shows your heading even when you’re standing still or not holding the device level. 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. And with its high-sensitivity, WAAS-enabled GPS receiver with HotFix™ satellite prediction, Dakota 20 locates your position quickly and precisely and maintains its GPS location even in heavy cover and deep canyons.

Find Fun

Get into paperless geocaching with Dakota 20 by quickly downloading up to 2,000 caches, with information such as location, terrain, difficulty, hints and description — no more paper print outs and manually entered coordinates. Visit our geocaching pages for more information.

Explore the Terrain

Dakota 20 comes with built-in worldwide basemap, so you can navigate anywhere with ease. Adding more maps is easy with Garmin's wide array of detailed topographic, marine and road maps, available on microSD card.

Share Wirelessly

With Dakota 20 you can share your waypoints, tracks, routes and geocaches wirelessly with other compatible Dakota, Foretrex®, Oregon® and Colorado® users. Now you can send your favorite route or geocache location to a friend easily. Just touch "send" to transfer your information to similar devices.

스펙은 아래와 같습니다.

오레곤의 다운 그레이드라지만 디스플레이의 축소외에는 특별한 기능 저하는 없습니다.

사진 뷰어 기능, 웨리고 (지오캐시 현장 플레이 게임), Topo 3D view 정도가 빠졌습니다.

대신 밧데리 성능이 비약적으로 상승하여서 여행을 자주 하시는 분들께는 과히 추천할만 합니다.

개인적으로 제가 좋아하는 부분이네요.

지금 오래곤은 7시간도 못가서 헥헥거리고 뻗습니다.

또하나 중요한건, 오레곤에서 불편하고, 좋지 못했던 USB 단자부분을 깔끔하게 바꿔놓았다는

점을 주목할수 있습니다. 현재 영문 리뷰어 한분이 정리해서 올려놓은 것이 있으니 참고하세요.

크기가 딱 여성용 손사이즈로 줄었습니다.

지금도 오레곤은 제가 들고다니기엔 약간 큰편입니다.
