Garmin GPSMAP 64 (2ND GEN) vs Garmin Oregon (2ND GEN)

The reviewers at OutdoorGearLab have featured the Garmin GPSMAP 64SC in their Garmin GPS MAP 64s Review roundup. However, it fell short of making it to the top of their list.

Taking a look at the Garmin Oregon 600, it got featured in roundups from two reliable sources that conduct their own testing - OutdoorGearLab and gearinstitute.com - but it fell short of earning a top spot in either.

We examined all of the review data that we could find and first took a look at sources that reviewed both of them, like OutdoorGearLab, and found that they haven't shown a preference for either product.

Then we checked which sources liked these two Handheld GPSs best and found that the Garmin GPSMAP 64SC got its highest, 10, review score from reviewers at OutdoorGearLab, whereas the Garmin Oregon 600 earned its best score of 10 from OutdoorGearLab.

Lastly, we averaged out all of the reviews scores that we could find on these two products and compared them to other Handheld GPSs on the market. We learned that both of them performed far better than most of their competitors - the overall review average earned by Handheld GPSs being 7.6 out of 10, whereas the Garmin GPSMAP 64SC and Garmin Oregon 600 managed averages of 9.2 and 9.3 points, respectively.

Due to the difference in their prices, however, it's important to keep in mind that a direct Garmin GPSMAP 64SC vs. Garmin Oregon 600 comparison might not be entirely fair - some sources don't take value for money into account when assigning their scores and therefore have a tendency to rate more premium products better.
