Best handheld GPS without question.
This is the best handheld I have had. I got it after losing my GPSMAP 66 in Zion by not having it tethered to my pack . The battery life is amazing and I don't worry about bringing a couple sets of lithium batteries along with my device. Processor is fast and GNSS is unrivaled. It does take some time to acquaint yourself with it. The best part is seamless compatibility with explore. You can download waypoints and tracks from alltrails, trailforks or any system that gives coordinates or GPX tracks, put them in collections and have everything mapped and ready to go. I'm surprised the default maps don't have as many trails as the Fenix watch does but Map+ subscription does. Also - I have the Fenix 6xPro solar and I love having maps on my watch but having a handheld with more screen but still 8 oz is a huge help and a good backup. It's also easier to get a bigger picture of unfamiliar trails if you don't have paper maps with you. It has buttons so you don't have touchscreen issues, has a great screen in sunlight and incredibly powerful. It is purpose built so I don't use it for trail running or mountain biking or skiing but it is absolutely a great device as a piece of mind backup and navigation. I have the inReach mini that I only keep in case of emergencies. I probably could have gotten the 67i and eliminated it but I saved 100 dollars and can take the mini with me without the 67 in the kayak or on a hike when I don't feel like carrying the 67.
Disappointing accuracy after deep testing
I bought a model 67 to replace a 66sr (refurbished) that failed after 2 years. I did bench testing and field tested the 67 alongside a model 65s on a daylong hike in moderately steep and forested terrain. All 3 models are multi-band. Along with observing the odometer and elevation at various points on the hike, I loaded the tracklogs (recorded at a 6 second interval) into a database and the CalTopo mapping website for analysis. As always, I ensured that the firmware was updated, and I mounted the units so that the antennas cleared the top of my head (in case you didn’t know, carrying a GPS lower than that will cause lower accuracy, since water blocks GPS signals, and your body is mostly water). Here are some results: 1. The worst issue is wild fluctuations in the GPS elevation observed during bench testing. The GPS elevation declined from +700 to below sea level and back to +700! I did a master reset of the unit before the hike, but the problem reoccurs over and over. 2. The 65s reported Total Ascent and Total Descent values on the hike that were very close to those expected from maps. The 67, however, reported totals that were about 550 feet higher. 3. Continuous auto calibration of the barometric elevation (which is the one that’s recorded in the tracklog, not the GPS elevation) to the GPS elevation appears not to work at all, with 50-100 feet differences between the 2 values for much of the day. The values were much closer on the 65s. (The 66sr had been generally worse than the 65s in this category but was better than the 67). I cannot bench test this, as Garmin removed the ability to set a custom barometric elevation for the model 67. In comparing the elevations reported by the GPS units for well defined locations to the accurate data in CalTopo, the 67 mostly had excellent GPS elevations, but the barometric elevations were often 50-70 feet too high. The 65s, however, had barometric elevations that were always within 25 feet. 4. There was a 3% difference in the distance for the hike between the odometer and the tracklog distance (calculated by my database from the distance between each latitude / longitude pair) for the 67. This is in line with the performance of the older pre-multi-band 64 series for similar terrain. For the 65s it was a mere 0.1%. There were significant discrepancies between the out and back values for a couple of individual trail segments, too. 5. In a 4 hour bench test for GPS drift (the addition of undesired mileage to the odometer when the unit remains stationary), the 67 added 0.27 mile. Not bad, but during the same period the 65s added none. 6. Visually examining the tracks in CalTopo, the 67 seemed to perform as well as the other multi-band models, and the out and back tracks were a little closer together than the 65s. I don’t know if my unit is just defective. Garmin models usually have many bugs during the first year after product release that are fixed through firmware updates, but it is now past the 2 year mark. The 67 sorely underperforms in some key accuracy categories. I document my hikes partially by using the totals reported by the GPS, and the 67 clearly does not make the cut. I’m returning this unit to the store for a refund, and I’ve found a used 66sr (discontinued) to purchase instead. The main disadvantage with the 65s is the lower resolution screen. The 67 may work for you if you need the super long battery life.
GPS freezes. Programmed obsolescence?
My GPSMAP 67 worked well and I loved it, until suddenly, it started freezing every time I turned it on. It won't power up or down. A hard reset is required everytime I turn it on so it unfreezes and powers down. On again and it freezes seconds after power on. It stopped working literally 2 weeks before the 2 year warranty expiration date. Sounds like programmed obsolescence to me... A friend of mine had the same issue with a 67i and had it replaced under warranty.
A big step up
I bought this to replace my Foretrex 301. I use it mostly to keep track of my hiking and snowshoeing events on Garmin Connect, but I also like seeing where I am on Garmin Explore. Some of the trails I use are not on any maps, so I am able to document them. This is a necessity for bushwhacking in thick, low-lying areas. The accuracy is amazing! I have an ACR Resqlink, so didn't need the inReach version.
No Good in Trees
I was trying find a trail that hadn't been cleared of brush/trees in years. At the trailhead I started recording with the 67 (dual GPS/GLONASS sensors) and Gaia on my phone. After an hour of bushwhacking under heavy tree cover I noticed the 67 hadn't recorded most of the track and my position was floating around. Gaia track on my phone was continuous and my position wasn't jumping around.
