Garmin Colorado 300

Colorado 300 is the base model of the new Colorado mapping handheld GPS series from Garmin and it includes worldwide basemap with shaded relief unlike the 400 models (400i, 400t, and 400c) which include specialized maps. However Colorado 300 supports SD cards so you can take any kind of map with you including street maps, topographic maps, coastal charts or inland lake data.

New on the Colorado series is the wireless sharing of waypoints, tracks, routes and geocaches with other users, and of course the new ‘rock’n roller’ input wheel which allows for one hand control of the GPS device for most functions.
