Extremely disappointed in the dim screen
I'm pretty disappointed at the screen resolution and brightness. I have the 67i and the screen is noticeable brighter and clearer than this unit. The box and online promotional videos from Garmin show a very bright vibrant screen on the H1i. Not the case at all. I called Garmin today and sent them side by side pictures of the two units. They agreed the H1i unit is about 40% dimmer in dark environments. For $1000 you would think the new flagship model would be more impressive. In bright sunlight the screen is better but still doesn't pop like the 67i. I'm so disappointed I'm seriously considering returning the unit. The impressive new Inreach features are ruined by the horrible screen. Garmin needs to do better or release a firmware to improve the screen.
Can make the screen brighter
Just got this GPS, spending some time figuring out the new UI though haven't used in the field yet. I'll post more useful review later, but wanted to respond the previous review. The screen looks dim in the default setting. However, if you turn off Auto-Brightness, the screen can adjusted to the similar level of the 66/67 model.
Powerful Unit
I bought this unit 3 or weeks ago and have used it 2-3 times a week for hiking. it has been extremely accurate with location. it has a lot of really nice features. the apps are working great I use the outdoor Maps Plus subscription with it and the layers are super helpful for topography. Battery life is awesome. I would highly recommend this unit for a compact package with the inreach technology as a real plus.
Wait for Garmin to resolve issues
Buy this if you are bored and have nothing else to do. In typical Garmin fashion, a decent looking, although bulky, hardware has been betrayed by typical poor software. My unit refused to update to the latest software, and will not charge past 67%. I will be returning this.
