Title: Adding notes to waypoints
Post by: soboyle on September 09, 2013, 07:16:41 AM
Am researching GPS units, and need a unit which I can add short notes to selected waypoints.
Am considering the Oregon 450, because of low cost, and high recommendations. Anyone know if notes can be added to waypoints with the Oregon 450?

The http://garminoregon.wikispaces.com/ website is a very good source of "How To" information for the Oregon GPS.  Look under the Knowledge Base area.  This is straight from the website:
W11.) How many characters are supported in the Oregon's Waypoint name and description/note field?

The waypoint name supports 30 characters and the description/note fields supports 49 characters on the Oregon.
