GPS Kids | Wish List Wednesday: Unwrap excitement with outdoor adventures

Welcome to another Wish List Wednesday — when we help you find the perfect Garmin gift for that special someone. Previous WLW posts have covered gift ideas for pilots, boaters, fitness fanatics and savvy travelers, and today’s focus is on getting the most out of the great outdoors.

Our rugged line of intuitive touchscreen devices includes the budget-friendly Dakota series and powerfully versatile Oregon family.Leading the way are the Oregon 550 and Oregon 550t, which feature a built-in 3.2 megapixel digital camera that automatically geotags the location of each photo so that you can relive the memory and easily return to the spot you photographed.

Sharing your activities has never been easier, thanks to this month’s updates at Garmin Connect. This online community with 17 million activities for storing, sharing and exploring will be growing faster than ever now that it supports outdoor handhelds. Another free utility, Custom Maps, makes it easy to put paper and digital maps onto your compatible Garmin handheld. Also, geocaching is a free family activity, and Oregon and Dakota make it easy to go paperless for more fun with no printouts. Finally, we have interactive demos and online tutorials for free lessons on tapping into the various features. With these bonus freebies, a Garmin device is a gift that keeps on giving!
