Camera on the Oregon 700 Series

Both the Oregon® 750 and Oregon® 750t outdoor handhelds have a camera for taking pictures during your outdoor adventures.

Provided the Oregon handheld has a GPS signal, it will also geotag the picture with coordinates from where the picture was taken. This is helpful if you want to visit a certain visual attraction again in the future, such as a waterfall.¹

Note: The camera feature is not available on the Oregon 700 handheld.
