I have a Rhino 530 and decided to go to the Oregon 300 for the larger screen and a couple other features.
Big mistake! The screen is totally not readable in cold weather! I have used it about 10 times when the tempters have been between 25 and 5 degrees F and the screen just disappears.

Also there have been software problems. I was not able to view more than one track at a time on the screen. I was instructed to update the software and that has created more problems.

One positive point for Garmin, their customer support has tried to be very helpful. My problem now is how do I return a product that will not function in the cold environment where I work and play.
