The overall size & weight (5.5x10x3.3cm, 191.4g) are not much different compared to Oregon series (5.8x11.4x3.5cm, 192.7g), however the screen size and resolution differ quite a bit (Dakota: 3.6x5.5cm, 160x240pixels vs. Oregon: 3.8x6.3cm, 240x400pixels).

Bro, since Dakota has only 160 x 240 pixels, are u able to install either NT maps or

v4.09 maps

thinking of getting this baby

Why not, display resolution has nothing to do with NT map readability.
