    I’ve been kind of watching, drooling really, the development of the new Oregon series GPSr. The 600, 600t, 650, and 650t. I’ve looked and thought, “Since Garmin opened up their own caching site, will they bother to continue development of a Wherigo Player on the new products. Since this is exclusive to GC.com (I think), has anyone read/heard anything? I would still like to add a Wherigo or 2 to my finds list.

      the 600 series are known as the Montana not the oregon. and you are correct, there has been no updates to the Wherigo players for the Garmin GPS for awhile. If you want to do them, might as well invest in a smart phone.

      Check out Garmin’s site. They announced the new Oregons that share numbers with the Montana. **sigh** The smartphone option for Wherigo is not something I can seem to get to work properly. However, an older model would suffice I guess…

        It is unlikely that the new Oregon’s will support Wherigo. In fact, I wouldn’t be at all surprised if it was removed from existing units when the operating systems are upgraded. Since they have decided go to war against Groundspeak, and wherigo is a Groundspeak creation, they are trying to distance themselves as much as possible.

        My 62st I got last year does not have a wherigo function.
