Oregon 7x0 Discontinued

August 25, 2021:
Garmin have quietly added the Oregon 7x0 to their 'Discontinued Products' page with absolutely zero indication of any successor to replace it.
This is a major detour from Garmin's standard operating procedure of announcing a successor either prior or simultaneously.
While the product is still available to buy on the Garmin website, it has been confirmed that when current inventory is depleted, there will be no more.
Many of you have been waiting for the announcement of a new Oregon before purchasing your next Garmin GPSr, and for now, it appears that those hoping for an Oregon 8x0 will have to look elsewhere, as there are no indications of an immanent replacement model.
Could Garmin actually be killing off the Oregon line? If so, what options will this leave those looking for a touchscreen GPSr in this device segment? Having gobbled up all the competition, this move by Garmin may leave a huge empty space in the market.
This leaves the Montana 7x0 as the only outdoor recreation touchscreen GPSr currently in production while the eTrex x2x series remains the only 'patch antenna' device in production. Are they moving toward an 'all quad-helix pushbutton only' product lineup'?
While we have no idea what Garmin's intentions are... we will continue to post more information here as it becomes available.
