GPS Manuals: Getting To Know Your Device

GPS Central has a digital library of manuals for new and older models. If your model is discontinued, please check The Vault for the unit; many accessories are still available for these units too! You will find a link to its manual on that page. For newer models, check your manufacturer for PDF downloads and/or the product page on this website.

The features of most GPS devices usually outweigh their typical daily use.

Some GPS units have cameras integrated, e.g. Garmin Oregon 550 and Garmin Oregon 550t with US Topo maps <<**super weekend Mar 26-28 special!<< and Magellan Triton 2000. It's all a journey - document your ways!

Waterproof & Unsinkable

The Garmin 70 series GPS handsets are for all types of boating, hiking, birding, whatever your activity: the SD card map navigators. The difference with this map is, you're in it! Thinking of ice fishing, ATVing, snowmobiling, snow shoeing, skiing (models with barometric altimeter! read your vertical), ice climbing ... and international travel. See the IPX Waterproof Specification guide for extra details.
