Hello to all Oregon users,

I have questions about my new oregon..

1. Under setup > tracks > track record method auto / time / distance, Which is the best setting for hiking? What is the different or purpose for each setting?

2. Interval > Most Often, does anyone get 1sec interval under dis setting?

Please share, thanks ;)

Yah, 1 sec per point is probably the highest res you can track and is recommended if you want to contribute an accurate track. On roads already mapped (the track record just being for your own use), I would just opt for Auto.

If any of you are thinking of buying the Oregon Auto Nav Kit Part Number: 010-10851-10 , DONT!

In 15 years of owning Garmin units and using all their car dash and boat mounts, this one is be worst designed one. The L shaped Mini USB jack fits so badly at the bottom of the unit that it works it's way out after a few minutes (if your unit interface is not set to Garmin Spanner, the unit will automatically switch to Mass Storage mode - the USB detection is there obviously but it no longer supplies sufficient power to be on Nav mode).

Set the interface to Garmin Spanner and at least if the dang Mini USD jack slides out, you will be prompted to enter Mass Stotage or remain at Nav mode.

The holder and sucker mount itself is great if you are solely running on batt power but for RM200 you are also paying for the dang cigarette lighter charger with the dang L shaped Mini USB jack.

An alternative would be to just but a RM15 china made car charger for any handphone which charges via mini USB and make sure it is a conventional straight jack.
