Is the Oregon 450 the best GPS to use in heavy tree covered trails? If not, which would you recommend? I would very much like to use the 'Custom Map' feature, however it is not essential.

The eTrex 30 has better reception because it can track two GNSS. It can track GPS and the Russian Glonass system. That gives you almost double the satellites you can track therefore improving your position in hard to track areas like canyons and tree coverage. Another device to consider that is better than the Oregon is the GPSMap 62S but it only can track GPS.

I thought the 62S was an older device, so why is it better?

The 62S is newer than the Oregon series. It has a better antenna. You may be thinking of the GPSMap 60CSx. The GPSMap 60CSX also would have better reception that the Oregon. All units are very close when it comes to position accuracy.

The Oregon series is a mid range unit with a touch screen. Touch screen units do not view in the sun as well as unit that use buttons
