Garmin launches Dakota line of handheld GPS units for the great outdoors

Garmin’s already firmly entrenched in the GPS for outdoorspeople game with its Oregon line of handhelds, and now the company’s announced a new series, the Dakotas. Two models — the 10 and 20, respectively — have been launched, and are, overall, a bump up from the Oregon line. These poor boys supposedly have a 20 hour battery charge life, a 2.6-inch LCD (diagonally), and store up to 200 tracks. The higher-end Dakota 20 boasts a MicroSD slot, an electronic compass, a barometric altimeter, and wireless info transfer amidst compatible units. They’re expected in the 3rd quarter and will run you $299.99 for the Dakota 10 and $349.99 for the 20. Full press release after the break.
