Difference Between Outdoor Handhelds That Have Model Number XXX/XXXt

Garmin recognizes the convenience of preloaded maps and has elected to provide certain series with models that come with a preloaded topographic map. Models with preloaded topographic mapping typically have a "t" within their model name. Models that do not include topographic mapping usually will not have the "t". However, there are exceptions.

Examples of handhelds with preloaded topographic mapping:

• Alpha® 100
• Alpha® 200
• Alpha® 300
• eTrex® Touch 35t
• Montana® 650t
• Oregon® 550t
• Oregon® 450t
• Oregon® 750t
• GPSMAP® 62stc
• GPSMAP® 62st
• GPSMAP® 64st
• GPSMAP® 66st
• Rino® 655t
• Rino® 755t
  

Examples of handhelds that are preloaded with basic basemap:

• eTrex® Touch 35
• Montana® 650
• Oregon® 450
• Oregon® 550
• Oregon® 750
• GPSMAP® 62s
• Rino® 750

To confirm specific features for a device, such as topographic mapping, visit the product page by selecting a device from our Hiking units and click the Specs tab for additional information about the device; this is an important step as some devices like the Alpha 100 handheld are preloaded with topographic mapping but do not indicate this in the model name.
