As with other high end electronic devices the Garmin Handheld GPS Colorado 400t features a touch screen that is a full 3 inches diagonally. Touch screen technology has enabled viewing screens to be more user friendly and at the same time be easy on your eyes.

Garmin’s innovative touch screen is both user friendly with the help interface on screen and in direct sunlight. Most touchscreens aren’t as user friendly in direct sunlight as Garmin’s. With the help friendly touch screen, any user can be comfortable navigating with the Colorado 400t. Just follow the help functions for flawless navigation and use.

The Garmin Handheld GPS Colorado 400t is encased in a ABS plastic case is pretty well waterproof as long as it is not submerged in water. Moisture can be a problem with electronic devices. This is not the case with the Colorado 400t due to it’s moisture proof case.

Topographic maps of the USA national, state parks and local parks are preloaded in the Colorado 400t. Lakes and river map info is also included. All maps are viewable in three dimensional view so you can actually visualyze the map area. Adventures have never been more exciting than the Colorado 400t is capable of producing.

One of the great features of the Garmin Handheld GPS Colorado 400t is the ability to share data with either Garmin Colorado or Oregon users. All you have to do is touch the screen to send the information. The Colorado enables you to download from any PC Geocaching files and other data for using in your adventures. Points of interest can be analyzed three dimensionally for more accurate information on any way point.

Geocaching technology has found its place in a miniature form in this product. The website provides GPX files which are helpful and contains the details of the surroundings. It is only a matter of uploading the necessary GPX files to the unit and everyone can be set to go. Due to the Colorado 400t’s GPX files features, you do not need to enter manually the coordinates of the current location, or the destination. Everything is done automatically.

As with its predecessor, the unit features a photo viewer which supports JPEG file format. Two very important guidelines desired for any GPS unit are that they should be slim and easy to place in a pocket. The Garmin Handheld GPS Colorado 400t fits these two attributes nicely!

The Garmin Handheld GPS Colorado 400t is SD card friendly. The card slot is inside the waterproof battery compartment. Just load it up with the maps of the territory you wish to explore and take off. I would recommend the Colorado 400t to anyone wishing to have a technological advanced receiver for outdoor adventure.
