The Garmin Explore app on my iPhone has facilitated quick and simple wireless transfer of routes to the 66sr.Navigation has been rock solid thanks to the multi band reception. Using the compass view, routes can be followed very easily without having to stare at the device. This allows you to look up and enjoy the views instead.The battery life from the built in battery is superb. After 2 long days on the hills there is still plenty of battery left, which is reassuring on long days out.In summary, a fantastic unit, well worth the money if you spend a lot of time in the outdoors. With just a basic level of knowledge of this device it has already transformed mountain navigation for me. I look forward to having some time to work through the online training provided by GPS Training to get the most of the unit.

I’ve paired the device with my cellphone as well, so I can receive (and send) alerts, though I haven’t used the 66SR itself to respond. The keyboard interface on the screen is similar to an old Nokia and takes a long to like to type. I love physical buttons as opposed to touchscreen because gloves can become an issue.Interface: Overall, easy to use after gaining some familiarity. I spent a few hours after I got the unit adjusting settings, linking WiFi, phone, accounts, etc., and using the various features. The layout is easy, same choices usually. scroll-select(ex. map)-view(scroll/select/view POI’s, etc.)-menu(adjust settings)Construction (DISCLAIMER: I’ve only had the unit a few weeks and taken it under 5 miles of hiking presently)- solid. The screen is relatively simple with details, but it is efficient and practical. Visible in direct sunlight, ergonomic, lanyard attachment is solid. Though the weight is slightly higher compared to others in the same range, it wasn’t detrimental. Everything feels well made, and I hope it stays that way.Overall: The 66SR was my first serious GPS purchase, and it was worth it. Disclaimer again: I purchased this unit while there was a sale, and I also used my Moosejaw points. I spent hours watching comparison videos between various GPS manufacturers, and after choosing Garmin (partly experience and partly reviews), I looked at the models. Again after a long time comparing, I decided on the 66 series because of its ruggedness, reliability, and multi-band capabilities. What set the 66SR sub-model the most attractive is the long battery life and expanded receivers. Here’s the best comparison between models I found:GPS central

The number one reason I bought this unit is it allows the use of alkaline, lithium, or NiCad batteries—two AA in this case. It is not recharge only. While elk hunting last year, I used a hunting app on my smart phone that, frankly, worked better than a handheld GPS. In fact, it temporarily kept me from purchasing a replacement for my failed GPS unit. However, I hated I could not simply carry extra batteries. I don’t want to carry a heavy power bank to recharge my smart phone. In the age of lightweight backpacking and hunting, I enjoy having this choice.

While elk hunting last year, I used a hunting app on my smart phone that, frankly, worked better than a handheld GPS. In fact, it temporarily kept me from purchasing a replacement for my failed GPS unit. However, I hated I could not simply carry extra batteries. I don’t want to carry a heavy power bank to recharge my smart phone. In the age of lightweight backpacking and hunting, I enjoy having this choice. Also, I like the barometric functions common in many GPS units. Additionally, handheld GPS units are very rugged.When on local hikes, I like I can use common rechargeable NiCad batteries. It saves money and there is less undesirable waste. I use only lithium when backpacking or hunting. They are light and last a long time.Previously, I owned a Garmin Oregon 450t and loved it, although the touch screen left much to be desired. Just prior to my hunt last year, I discovered it would not power up. The power button failed and upon contacting Garmin, they informed me they no longer support that unit. It gave me years of great use, but only after going through the frustration of learning the awkward menu system.The menus in these units are confusing, and the documentation is only mildly useful. My recommendation is to read it to gain an understanding of its capabilities, but play with the unit to locate the various functions and settings. Don’t expect the manual to guide you through.I want to pass on some tips that might help anyone new to Garmin products. Once it is understood how the PAGE, MENU, and QUIT buttons function, a lot of confusion will clear up.From the Garmin support page:“Memory Card Required to Update New GPSMAP 64x Series Handheld”Also from their page:“Updating the maps is not required in order to use the handheld, but if you choose to update the maps Garmin Express will prompt you to insert a microSD card (maximum 32 GB). For more details on microSD card requirements, see - Memory Card Size Requirements for Garmin Outdoor Handhelds.”You will need a BLANK microSD card, and yes, there is no way of knowing this at the time of purchase other than the reviews. To get to the Garmin link, search on: Garmin GPSMAP 64sx microSD requirements. The Garmin support page will come up. They warn against initializing the device for updates with a micro SD card that has maps preloaded. Also, notice they describe what type of microSD cards NOT to use.NOTE: After installing the SD card and batteries, you first want to tell the unit what type of batteries you have installed.Power the unit on. The opening screen should be the MAP.Press the PAGE button in rapid succession until it stops on MAIN MENU. No need to hit the ENTER button, it will enter automatically. If you don’t see a wrench symbol labeled “SETUP”, you may have entered the wrong menu. Cycle through the PAGE button again until it stops on the MAIN MENU.With the SETUP box highlighted, press the ENTER button. Next, with the SYSTEM box highlighted, press the ENTER button. Cursor down to the AA BATTERY TYPE. Hit ENTER. Select the battery type, ENTER. Then you can press the QUIT button to get out of that menu.Alkaline batteries never worked well on my Oregon 450t, but lithium and NiMhs did.Download Garmin Express, connect the 64sx unit to your computer, and follow the instructions to update the maps.Assuming you have got through all that, you need to learn the unit and the best way is to explore the menus, but there are a few things to keep in mind.1) The “MENU” button will not take you to the MAIN MENU. The MAIN MENU and the MENU button are different things.I will circle back to the MENU button. When you power up the unit, it will take a while to load the new map updates. The opening screen is the MAP. It will take a while to acquire the satellites.2) Use the “PAGE” button to explore the menu system, not to be confused with the MENU button or the MAIN MENU.Things become bewildering immediately until you understand how the PAGE button works. If you keep pressing it in rapid succession, it will cycle through the five branches of the menu system, beginning with compass:COMPASSTRIP COMPUTERELEVATION PLOTMAIN MENUAnd then back to:MAPIf you stop rapid pressing of the PAGE button, you will automatically enter the menu branch you just stopped on. This is the best way to enter one of the five branches. You can also enter them by stopping then quickly pressing the “ENTER” button, but this can lead to more confusion. For instance, if you are using the PAGE button to cycle through the menu system and press enter, once stopped on the MAIN MENU, the unit might automatically beat you into the MAIN MENU branch just as you hit enter and you find yourself in the submenu without knowing how you got there.So, to access the MAIN MENU, for instance, simply cycle through by pressing the PAGE button until it stops on the MAIN MENU. Wait a second, and it will enter that branch. If you want to back out of any submenus, press the “QUIT” button. But this can lead to more confusion.3) Continuing to press the QUIT button after backing out to a primary branch will lead to cycling through the menu system. At this point, the QUIT button behaves identically to the PAGE button. For instance, if you are in MAP and press the QUIT button, you begin cycling through the menu system just as if you pressed the PAGE button.This leads to confusion because suddenly you are seeing the menu system cycling through again, so you stop to see what is going on and of course once you do it automatically enters that menu branch, and you are left wondering how you got there. It took me a while to understand what was going on.It would be best if Garmin would change the QUIT button so it never functions like the PAGE button. The way it is now is leading to confusion.Now, onto the MENU button. Anytime you are in a submenu and hit the MENU button, a list of options will come up. For instance, if you are in the TRIP COMPUTER branch and then hit the MENU button, a list of options comes up. Reset, Big Numbers, Change Data Fields, etc. Go in there and start playing around. Change your data fields. Reset. If you don’t like what you have changed, hit MENU again and select RESTORE DEFAULTS.4) The MENU button is how to change data fields in the trip computer, elevation plot, etc. It is the portal to submenus of the primary menu branches only. The MENU button will not provide access to the five root branches.Again, the key here is to play with it, and do this at home before heading out on a big trip.I didn’t go into the MARK button or the FIND button features. My goal was to illustrate how to get around on the unit. The MARK button is how to establish a way point. Play with it. The FIND button has all kinds of interesting things to explore, and there are lots to learn there.To my knowledge, there are only two ways to get in trouble with this and other Garmin units and one is to accidentally delete all your way points. Be careful not to do that. It is easy to do while in the reset menu. Why Garmin doesn’t move that hazard to another submenu, I don’t know. The other is changing batteries while the unit altimeter barometric pressure trending is set to “Save Always.” This is a very interesting capability. Iif you change the setting from “Save When Power On” to “Save Always,” a warning will flash that says, “WARNING: Do not remove batteries while this feature is active.” Now, I don’t know what would happen if the batteries were to be changed with this feature active, but I have always been careful to make sure the batteries would not run out of power while using it for fear of damage to the unit.On the battery subject, if you tap the POWER button once, a screen will come up with several bits of information, one of which is the battery level. Also found there is the adjustment for the backlight brightness level. On a further side note, you can replace any of the data fields in the TRIP COMPUTER with this same battery indicator.I was worried all my information in my Oregon 450t was lost. I had years of way points for hunting spots, rafting take-outs, backpacking stream crossings, steelhead holes, game watering and bedding locations, etc. Periodically, I backed up my Basecamp files and emailed them to myself. The new version of Basecamp did not recognize those files. I still had my old computer. Fortunately, it booted up. I connected my new 64sx and was able to transfer all my waypoints and routes to the INTERNAL STORAGE of the unit. Then, I connected my 64sx to my new computer with the new version of Basecamp and imported everything.Perhaps it was worth buying a new stand-alone GPS unit, if only to recover all that information. It may be possible to export all my way point information from Basecamp and then upload to a smartphone app. I don’t know. I just feel relieved I have all my hard-earned data.One potential negative is it appears there is no way to lock the controls. My Oregon 450t had a lock function. To be fair, that touchscreen was sensitive when you didn’t want it to be. A time or two, inadvertent contact with the screen opened reset menus while in the field. After a time or two of nearly losing data, I learned how to lock the screen. Perhaps this is less of a hazard with the button-based units.

This replaces a unit that was purchased before I went to Afghanistan in 2007. It is much faster to pick up signals, has great features. I did not want the newer units that are out that are more expensive or have more features. This one has all the "required" features I wanted without the extra battery draining things I didn't. Still learning the newer model ways of moving through the menu, but is a great unit for my use, which is hunting, hiking and general off-road nav use. The only downside, was that it did not come with a lanyard, I robbed the old one from my old unit. Add a 32 gb card and download the maps you want/need.

First model I purchased, refused to boot after a short break-in. Tried to reboot to no avail. Second purchase was very hard to navigate to a destination with the push buttons. Took forever. Maps are inferior to Caltopo and Gaia with small, hard to read major road, so that you can't figure out where you are without zooming way in. Route planning is not easy. I can find any location in USA with Gaia or Caltopo in seconds and plan a route quickly--with Garmin it could take half an hour and that's being generous. Maps are not accurate either with some showing routes that are not aligned accurately and several hikes near me that aren't even shown. With Gaia or Caltopo for a small fee, you can download nice accurate maps and still have your location shown even if no cell ... MoreFirst model I purchased, refused to boot after a short break-in.

Firstly I would definitely recommend buying your gps unit from GPS training. From the very first phone call you get friendly expert advice. This is followed up by fantastic technical support and online instructional videos which help you to get the most from your unit. I have just used the GPS 67 for the first time today on an 8 mile walk and it performed really well and was very easy to carry with the backpack tether. If like me you plan your route in advance this unit in my opinion is the perfect size. My 8 mile walk only used 4% of the battery and that was in multi band mode and looking at the screen and functions numerous times. Overall very pleased with my purchase and the excellent service from GPS Training.

I use a GPS for bushwalking, often in dense scrub and forest, and for auditing track infrastructure, sometimes in steep terrain or under dense canopy. So signal accuracy and reliability are important. I've used a GPSmap 62sc for many years and been very satisfied with it. The 65S is identical in many respects. The main improvement is a dramatic increase in the location accuracy, particularly under canopy. While the 62 struggled to get accuracies of 10 metres under dense canopy, the 65 locks on to a nominal 1.8m and delivers accuracies of 2-3m. This is a huge advantage for inventory work where the data is used to calculate the lengths of track boardwalk for example. I also appreciate that the batteries can be replaced a big advantage on extended expeditions. ...

I have a lot of GPS receivers, and have taught "Map Interpretation and GPS" at the local community college for thirteen years. My first Garmin was way back, the blue sparkly Legend. I just love this GPSMAP 66sr, and take it every time I venture outdoors and into the hills. As mentioned in other reviews, it is the most accurate "consumer grade" GPS receiver that one can purchase. I use the metric system, even though I'm in the states. I consistently get 1.8 meter accuracy, and it will get a good fix within five minutes...even if I haven't used it recently and am in a new area. Only two things I wish were different.

I just need to remember to make sure the thing is charged up before heading out. The other "pain" is that it is difficult to use with gloves. Maybe with tight-fitting gloves, but my big hands take big gloves and I always have to remove a glove before pressing buttons. Not normally an issue. I just need to make sure to put my gloves back on quickly.

Though I am very familiar with the whole Garmin Ecosystem, devices, and software / apps, the resources provided by GPS Training were really clear and concise and would walk even the most novices of user through using the devices. Value added details and services like this really set the team at GPS Training apart.Having put the unit through some preliminary tests, I’m very impressed, particularly coming from the 64s, which is still a perfectly serviceable unit. Looking forward to getting out in the field with the 66sr, having already been impressed with some side-by-side track logs with my 64s and Fenix 6X. A nice step up from 64s GPS/GLONASS to GNSS Multi-Band, very impressed with the tracklog-trace!I would strongly advise users to upgrade to the recently released firmware version 5.70, via Garmin Express, which fixes two long standing bug in the device: i) Multi-GNSS satellite acquisition and ii) WiFi downloading of the CPE (Connected Predictive Ephemeris) files when the device has not be used for a while. There were workarounds to the bug, but Garmin have now resolved this bug in Firmware 5.70 as of February 2023.I wanted to say thanks for a great customer services experience. From initially finding and enjoying GPSTraining’s very informative content on YouTube some years ago, through to deciding it was time to upgrade, to our correspondence regarding stock and lead times. I think I can honestly say, such personalised, customer focused service is rare to find these days. Though I regard myself as an advanced GPS user, the level of detail and support GPS Training have put together for their customers is a fantastic resource and a credit to the team. I am in no doubt that these resources and customer focused attention to detail facilitates a lot of novice and inexperienced users making a lot more use from their devices than they otherwise would. All this, while maintaining fair and competitive pricing at a time of supply chain issues and economic downturn.I certainly won’t be buying future Gamin GPS Units from anywhere else! GPS Training are a credit to the online, niche retail sector!Thanks Guys!James
