help Garmin Oregon 700 FAQ
How long does the Garmin Oregon 700 battery last on a hike?
Garmin lists battery life of up to 16 hours for the Oregon 700 series. The device can use two AA batteries or an optional NiMH rechargeable battery pack, so carrying spare AAs is practical for longer trips.

Can the Oregon 700 be used in rain?
Yes. Garmin rates the Oregon 700 series IPX7, meaning it can withstand incidental immersion in up to 1 meter of water for up to 30 minutes. That makes it suitable for wet hiking conditions, although it is not intended for prolonged underwater use.
Does the Garmin Oregon 700 have a touchscreen that works in sunlight?
It has a 3-inch sunlight-readable color touchscreen with dual-orientation support. Garmin introduced the Oregon 700 series in 2016 with GPS, GLONASS, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and geocaching connectivity.
