Setting a new standard. Again.

The Oregon 7x0 improves on Garmin's class leading Oregon 6x0 series with new features and functionality not previously available on any handheld GPSr.



Status Widget

The Oregon 7x0 series are equipped with a Status Widget that can be accessed from any screen with a single swipe of your finger, providing instant access to vital system resources, information and adjustments. Adjust screen brightness. Manage ANT+ sensors as well as Wi-Fi and Bluetooth network connections. View notifications (sent from a connected mobile phone) and current activity information. Add more widgets to further enhance functionality, and more!

 

Connected Features

With unprecedented connectivity features never before available in it's class, the Oregon 7x0 series will have wireless integration with Geocaching.com for Geocaching Live. Users will be able to wirelessly download cache descriptions, logs and hints, even if they’re out in the field. Once a geocache is logged as found, it will be automatically uploaded to the user’s Geocaching.com profile. Premium Geocaching.com members will also be able to sync their geocaching lists directly to their device. Users can even use the LiveTrack feature to broadcast their location to family and friends and let them know they’ll be the first to find a new geocache.

All of the new Oregon 7x0 handhelds include the new Active Weather feature for real-time forecast information with live weather radar so users can always be aware of both inclement weather and perfect conditions for their outdoor adventures. In addition to Active Weather and Geocaching Live, the Oregon 7x0 series have a variety of new connected features. These are the first GPS handhelds to be compatible with the Garmin Connect IQ platform, which was previously only available for Garmin wearables. With Connect IQ, Oregon 7x0 series users can customize their device with more data fields, widgets and apps to fit their individual lifestyles. Users can also pair their handhelds with their compatible smartphone for call, text and email notifications right on the device, as well as wireless software downloads and automatic data uploads to the Garmin Connect online community.

 

Customizable Home Screen

Whether you visit the same place often, frequently switch between maps, or need to continually change settings and/or access common shortcuts, the Oregon 7x0 fully customizable home screen has room to place up to 16 items per page from the [Where To?] [Setup] and [Shortcuts] menus.


Adaptable Controls

Don’t like the way something is set up? No worries. With a tap of a button, you can configure your applications easily and quickly with adaptable controls. Have to mount on the right handle bar? No problem. Oregon 7x0 can accommodate left or right-handed setups based on the screen orientation.


Smarter Activities

The Garmin Oregon 7x0 series includes Activity types made available on previous units to help customize the way routes are calculated based on what you’re doing. These Activities include: Tour Cycling, Mountain Biking, Hiking, Mountaineering and ATV/Off Road Driving. Garmin also included a new route calculation method, “Minimize Ascent,” because going somewhere on your own horsepower is a different situation than letting a vehicle do the work for you.

Geocaching with Photos

The launch of photo support on OpenCaching.com brings a whole new dimension to your geocaching experience, and with it comes game-changing new functionality to supported Garmin handhelds. The Oregon 7x0 can automatically receive geocache photos alongside geocaches when syncing with OpenCaching.com. These photos can then be viewed on your handheld while reviewing a geocache.
