Garmin GPSMAP 67 Rugged GPS Handheld, Multi-Band GNSS, Topo Mapping, Satellite Imagery, Color Display

I’ve been using the Garmin products for a while now, and they've proven to be a highly reliable GPS manufacturer.Pros:The GPSMAP 67 offers extremely accurate tracking and navigation. It quickly locks onto satellite signals, even in dense forests or remote areas, providing consistent and reliable location data.It comes preloaded with detailed maps, and the ability to add more maps is a huge plus. This is perfect for outdoor enthusiasts who need various types of terrain maps at their fingertips.One of the standout features is its impressive battery life. It can last for several days on a single charge when used intermittently, which is ideal for multi-day trips.The device feels robust and well-built. It’s waterproof, impact-resistant, and designed to withstand harsh outdoor conditions.The GPSMAP 67 includes a variety of helpful tools such as an altimeter, barometer, and compass. These are great additions for those who need more than just GPS for navigation.Cons:While the device is packed with features, there’s a bit of a learning curve to fully utilize them. The interface could be a bit more user-friendly, especially for beginners.It’s on the expensive side, but given the level of functionality and durability, I think it’s worth the investment if you spend a lot of time outdoors.Overall, the Garmin GPSMAP 67 is a top-tier GPS device for serious adventurers. It combines accuracy, durability, and long battery life in one package, making it a reliable companion for all outdoor expeditions. Highly recommended for hikers, explorers, and anyone needing precise navigation in rugged environments!

First - This thing is fantastic. I've not needed to use the inreach feature yet but I used to carry a 66ST and an inreach mini. Having the 2 combined is fantastic. Map abilities are amazing. Screen resolution is very good. Not as high as an iPhone but it's very purpose built so it's great for navigation and assessment. GPS accuracy is remarkable with the multi-band GPS. Most of the time, you only need GPS.Battery life is unbelievable. I've always had the 8-15 hours on 2 AA or rechargeable. To have a battery that lasts 4-5 days makes it so even if you forget to turn it off, you will rarely be in situations where it renders you inoperable. Also, you don't need to carry extra batteries or charger unless you are on a longer adventure.The "down" side (not really). The interface is so feature-packed that it does have a learning curve. Once you have it, it is cake to use. It works wonderfully with Garmin Explore. You can download your favorite track from Alltrails or other sites and import them into collections. They sync via your iphone or laptop effortlessly (setting up phone connection can have some issues but is a set and forget thing).Overall, this thing is rugged beast that covers a fantastic range of functionality. TheHikingGuy indicated he doesn't need it because of his Garmin watch of which I have one. It is so much nicer to have a handheld that has a bigger screen for map reading and orientation without needing to unfold a map unless absolutely necessary. If you are a serious hiker, you are probably carrying a satellite device anyways and this thing is so worth adding a couple ounces of weight in my opinion.If you are thinking about it and have the budget - Go for it!

Plan to spend many hours and days to learn to use this for navigating..... Easier to use your phone.

My family loves to camp and hike. As we have begun doing some longer trails, and, in particular trails that are less traveled, it was important to us to be able to call for help, if needed, and to better understand where we were. There is a bit of a learning curve, but there are tons of YouTube videos that make learning this unit manageable. It is easy to add waypoints, track hikes, and send messages. It also provides peace of mind in case of emergency (btw, a subscription is needed for some of the features). We are very happy with our Garmin 67i and would recommend it to anyone looking for a portable and highly functional GPS unit.

Top of the line GPS unit made by the most reputable brand on earth, however research, research, research. this device has some quirks to it. NO TOUCHSCREEN, for me this was fine, I'm boating and using it wet environments so i prefer button navigation, It can be difficult to get accustomed to the menu and setup of the device but once you do so it is a breeze to use, paired with the mobile apps it takes just a little practice to be comfortable on the device, while the mobile apps help you use the device they ARE NOT necessary to use the device which is a big pro to me. the included maps are top notch with many trails and features. The built in inreach satellite comms are helpful to stay in touch with loved ones. The battery lasts for days if not weeks on end. This GPS excels with accuracy, with mutli band GPS and GNSS it typically has 6ft accuracy to my position which is the best I have seen anywhere. Perfect for the backpacker/bushcrafter and many others

I've been doing some mountaineering and hiking with this. The in reach messaging keeps my wife sane while I'm gone and off-comms for so many hours/days. When I go hiking with my baby is always peace of mind to be able to communicate with my wife/basecamp too.Screen, performance, map downloading, etc and all the specs are great. Buttons are well-designed and have great pressing feedback. So when using thick mountaineering or biking gloves no issues there. It connects to a smartphone and the Explore garmin app so waypoint, course, and route management is a breeze (typing on your phone makes life happy instead of typing on the GPS, although you can do that too). Battery life is amazing and actually impressive for what I was used to dealing with.Keep in mind that this is a big unit and a bit heavy.
