Navigate the slopes with GarminGarmin launches two new skiing GPS navigators.
The DakotaTM 20 and OregonTM 450 ski editions come with Mountain Dynamics SnowRanger ski resort maps for Europe or North America. Not only do they help you find your way around easily, they tell you how far, how fast and how high you go.
If you’ve ever stood at the top of a slope and wondered what combination of runs and lifts would take you back to your chalet or exactly how to find your friends on the other side of the mountain, the Dakota or Oregon ski editions can help. SnowRanger maps give you turn-by-turn directions telling you which lifts and slopes to take to get to your destination. Ticket offices, parking, snow parks, restaurants and ski schools are all marked on the map.
The SnowRanger ski resort maps contain more than 420 resorts for Europe.
The Garmin Dakota 20 and Oregon 450 have sunlight-readable displays so you can see them in the glare of the snow. They’re also waterproof – so you don’t have to worry when you’re burning down the slopes. Both have a built-in 3-axis electronic compass, which shows where you're heading even when you’re standing still, without holding them level. And a barometric altimeter tracks changes in pressure to pinpoint your precise altitude. When you’ve finished on the slopes you can review, relive and replay your runs on the Garmin Snow Club www.garminsnowclub.co.uk.
