Explore Backcountry in 3-D

Colorado's preloaded topographic maps* (comparable to USGS 1:100,000 scale topographic maps.  View actual map detail for any location.),  3-D map view and a built-in worldwide basemap with shaded relief give you all the tools for serious climbing or hiking. Map detail includes national, state and local parks and forests, along with terrain contours, elevation information, trails, rivers, lakes and points of interest. Just in case you’re wondering how steep that hill really is, Colorado’s 3-D map view helps you visualize your surroundings — giving you a better perspective of the elevation.

* Based on United States Geological Survey topographic maps. USGS topographic maps are primarily intended to show topography which rarely changes. The government does not update them very often to show man made changes such as buildings, streets, roads and trails - many USGS map sheets are over 20 years old.

Customize Colorado's interface

Customize Colorado's interface based on your favorite activity. Even show off photos of your excursions with its picture viewer. Slim, lightweight and waterproof, Colorado is the perfect companion for all your outdoor pursuits. Garmin knows its users have many interests, so the Colorado lets you customize five profilesautomotive, marine, recreation, fitness or paperless geocaching — making the most beneficial features for each activity the easiest to access through quick shortcuts. And every outing with the Colorado can be enjoyed later by downloading and sharing the data as one of nearly two million activities on Garmin Connect™.

Note: Custom profiles do not add mapping.  MapSource map products may also need to be loaded for full functionality.

Share Wirelessly

With Colorado 400t you can share your waypoints, tracks, routes and geocaches wirelessly with other Colorado users. Now you can send your favorite hike to your buddy to enjoy or the location of a cache to find. Sharing data is easy. Just select “send” to transfer your information to other Colorado units.

Rock on

Intuitive and fun, Colorado features a Rock ‘n Roller™ input wheel (if you prefer a touchscreen interface consider the Oregon 400t) for easy one-handed operation - you really can operate its many features with just one hand — most with just one thumb (see YouTube demo). 

Geocaching

The Colorado 400t supports Geocaching.com GPX files for downloading geocaches and detail straight to your unit.  Geocaching just got easier with the Colorado, which quickly downloads online information for every cache, such as location, terrain, difficulty, hints and description, so that you don’t have to tote printouts with you. Use the free Garmin Communicator Plugin to make the process quicker and easier.

Wherigo

Colorado users will be the first to experience Wherigo, the newest GPS-based activity from Groundspeak, the people who made geocaching a worldwide phenomenon. Wherigo (pronounced "where I go") is a toolset for creating and playing location-based multimedia experiences in the real world. Using the Wherigo platform, Wherigo authors can build exciting adventure games, historical tours or other innovative activities. Wherigo players use the Colorado or other GPS device running the Wherigo Player application to visit physical locations, use virtual items, interact with virtual characters and solve real world puzzles. Garmin and Groundspeak will host special events to teach people more about Wherigo and let them experience it for themselves.

Keep Your Fix

With its high-sensitivity, WAAS-enabled GPS receiver, Colorado 400t locates your position quickly and precisely and maintains its GPS location even in heavy cover and deep canyons. The advantage is clear — whether you’re in deep woods or just near tall buildings and trees, you can count on Colorado to help you find your way when you need it the most.

Keep You Fit

The Colorado also displays air temperature as well as data from an optional heart-rate monitor and/or speed and cadence sensor.

Get Your Bearings

Colorado 400t has a built-in electronic compass that provides bearing information even while you're standing still, and its barometric altimeter tracks changes in pressure to pinpoint your precise altitude. You can even use the altimeter to plot barometric pressure over time, which can help you keep an eye on changing weather conditions.

Plug in and Go

Conveniently plug in optional preloaded SD cards for all your outdoor activities on land or water. Just insert a MapSource card with detailed street maps, and Colorado provides turn-by-turn directions to your destination (no voice prompts). Add MapSource Inland Lakes for fresh water adventures or MapSource BlueChart maps for salt water adventures. The card slot is located inside the waterproof battery compartment, so you don't have to worry about getting it wet.  Or load optional MapSource DVD maps to an optional blank memory card.

Colorado 400t: For adventure in any direction.
