Garmin Adds Dakota GPS Line

Today, Garmin announced their Dakota line of GPSes, which from the looks of it are just a water downed version of their 550.  It sports a smaller but reasonably sized 2.6-inch touchscreen, which probably explains the slightly better battery life of 20 hours.  And much like the 550 it’s waterproof and comes with 850mb of storage ‘which can store up to 1,000 waypoints, 50 routes, 2,000 geocaches and an active tracklog of up to 10,000 points and 200 saved tracks.” No camera on this one, though.

When it arrives in the 3rd quarter it will be available in two flavors: a 10 and a 20.  The 20, the higher end of the two, adds a microSD card slot, a 3-axis compass, barometric altimeter and wireless unit-to-unit connectivity for sharing your waypoints, tracks, routes and geocaches.  Pricing will run $299.99 and $349.99 respectively.
