So happy I bought this!
I purchased this from another retailer a couple of weeks ago before it was available at REI -- if REI had it back then, I would much rather have purchased with them. This device performs exactly as expected and allows me to stay in touch with my family back home via SMS as well as by sharing my location with them via an online map portal as frequently as often as every 2 minutes. The only thing I would suggest to a first-type buyer of any brand of this type of product is to research what the subscription fees in advance so you know what you're getting yourself into -- which I did -- and even with one of the more expensive plans -- am extremely pleased.
Not durable/rugged at all
Not remotely rugged - do not buy. I have owned a number of Garmin products over a 20 year period and generally have found them to be phenomenal. I've got a ~2008 eTrex which has sustained all sorts of abuse and still works as expected. I've got an InReach Mini2 which has survived multiple dunkings, a biking accident and the general mashing/abuse that happens on the outside of a pack. This unit was a real splurge replacement for the eTrex, and I am bitterly sorry I didn't go for the cheaper eTrex. The first trip out with this unit, and the screen is cracked - 24" fall. My Google Pixel is more durable. Do Not Buy, it's not suitable for an outdoors backpacking environment.
Garmin severely throttles custom maps.
This unit as a 1 megapixel and 3 MB limit on custom maps. Which essentially means you can't make custom maps. As a map maker who spent $600 on a GPS, I hate Garmin's business model which forces their customers to buy their maps. I make better maps, and I can't use them because Garmin has throttled their product in order to milk their customers.
A great all in 1 unit
I decided to get the 67i because it's an all in one for hiking (satellite communicator, GPS, and maps). The battery life is amazing. That alone is worth it. The maps have more trails shown than National Geographic trail maps and All Trails. I was worried about having to spend extra for more detailed maps, but I can't honestly see why hardly anyone would need to have that extra expense. So, I would advise any one to not buy the extra maps until you at least have tried it out. The only negative thing is that it takes awhile to figure everything out. Garmin needs to do better at this.
Great all in one with long battery life
This product is great! The battery life is amazing even in the cold, super durable. It was a small challenge learning to use it versus Gaia or Alltrails on my cell (which is more intuitive). There is a phone app that you use to make routes as well but even that is just a bit behind the other major apps. I like to record my hike so it eats cell battery even in airplane mode. This unit lasts forever days without needing to use my cell at all. I needed an SOS button anyway so for the added cost it was more than worth it. I don’t care about the extra ounces stuck on my pack strap vs the inreach mini
There must be a better way Garmin.
Just got this Garmin 67I. My first GPS device. What a bad design. Can't use it without reading tutorials which are not very clear to understand either. They all require that you already know how to use a GPS devices. Although I could learn all that - I am getting frustrated that there is such a high learning curve. My main complaint is that there are too many options. No intuitive user interface. Too many buttons to press... After all I want to enjoy and being in touch with nature and not being constantly in touch with the GPS device instead. There must be a better way Garmin.
not bad, but...
It is my first Garmin and the following points are my personal opinion/experience, exclusively for hiking. I bought the Garmin GPSMAP 67i for longer backcountry trips. So far I used my phone with offline maps and additional battery packs to extend the runtime of my phone. Pro: - fast device and fast satellite connection setup. - fast and stable Bluetooth connection. Easy download and synchronization of new routes - incredible runtime, battery lasts extremely long - good quality of the device and stable feeling - Decent operability through buttons in rain/dust - nice idea to add the SOS function (additional subscription necessary) - like the carabiner in the pack, but would still trade for the Garmin Backpack Tether Cons: - Software / interface way too outdated! The biggest Zonk so far. - not intuitive, you have to invest some days to understand the functions - only a manual with the basic functions, nothing to learn how to use the device. Also the tutorials on the Garmin homepage are a joke. - weather updates exclusively with an internet connection via cell phone - limitation to only 32-gigabyte microSD card @ Garmin: Please improve the interface / software and include a reasonable manual for new users Buy recommendation? Yes, for multi-day trips without power supply and internet connection. However, you need access to additional tutorials / explanations via the Internet.
Great device.
The 67i really is a great for travel. I’m traveling through Morocco and it’s been very helpful to communicate via text to friends and family when I don’t have Wi-Fi. Its maps are helpful but not complete without paying for additional map that I didn’t want to spend money on. I also share or trave location with family to enable them to follow or movement. It’s a wonderful communication tool with great gps. I recommend it for traveling to exotic or remote places.
Pinpoint accuracy, expensive required map sets.
I bought this newest model after my old Garmin 60cs was starting to reach its end of life. I figured that Garmin had to have made some major advances in GPS technology. They absolutely did, right out of the box it found over a dozen satellites from 3 systems. Pinpoint accuracy and decent map details. Then I tried to look at my hiking areas, needed more details. I soon realized that Garmin had advanced the technology but not its maps. There are 6 different topo 24 k map sets that you need depending on what states you hike in, so I bought West and North Central to cover my main areas. You have to switch SD cards as you cross state lines between the sets, but this is fairly easily done. Then I tried to navigate from my starting city to a waypoint in another state, and all I got was a straight line. 2 hours in two separate chats and 1 hour long phone call with Garmin, trying EVERY possible setting in the unit, I was finally told that I would need to purchase another map set to navigate highways from state to state. So if you're a beginner GPS user, this is not the unit for you. If you are a patient and experienced user and are willing to purchase all of the separate maps and spend MANY hours learning how to use the features of this unit, maybe give it a shot.
Best GPS but Requires Learning to Use Time Investm
Bought the 67i in August 2023. Have used it in Glacier and Big Bend National Parks. I have owed and used several Garmin products but this is my first GPS Satellite communicator handheld. I found the learning curve to be steep but with thehikingguy on utube and Garmin support to be very helpful. I now take it everywhere I go: hiking, on cruise ships, long distance drives anywhere in the world where GPS devices are permitted. Excellent accuracy, c usb type connector, weatherproof resistant, nice color display, okay keyboard for sending receiving messages, ability to post tracking events via Garmin Mapshare app posted on Facebook. Excellent build quality. Zero issues except user error. Quite capable device at 8.1oz. I have since bought the Garmin Fenix 7x Pro Solar Sapphire and setup remote IR which allows sending SOS from Garmin watch if handheld is within a short distance away (can’t recall supported distance). Note: SOS, satellite messaging, IR, Facebook Mapshare tracking require Garmin Iridium subscription that can be activated and suspended on a monthly basis. Best product available should you ever need help on land or sea.
