I bought this for hiking trails so the topo maps are good. Also wanted some lake maps for my fishing. Although lake vu on this device doesn't support all the lake vu features, it is good enough to get me where I want to go.

I purchased this gps due to its wealth of features and rugged durability, Has maps, multi GNSS, and was offered at a price I could not refuse.

I'm a SAR volunteer for the local sheriff's department. I use my 65s primarily for call outs, but also for backpacking trips. It does the job. The satellite acquisition is very good. It reliably tracks, and the wireless sharing is very useful for us. I have had mine for 3 years.

Allows good signal selection, route following, security in position

It's actually too early for me to do any sort of meaningful review as I haven't yet actually used the device to guide me on a trail. But, it is NOT too early to say a few things which I have learned so far.

• I have owned several Garmin GPS units during the last 10+ years, mainly because what other hand-held, push-button, replaceable battery powered, rugged GPS units are there on the market? With the loss of DeLorme to Garmin, precious few. Or maybe none?

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.

So will this potentially help you get back on trail? Yes.Can it save you in a bind ? yes. Outside of that, all the other features are so out of date that they are useless. The interface is so dated that an old flip from phone the early 2000s would be an upgrade.

I've owned previous units in this line, and wasn't really planning to upgrade, but my gpsmap 64s, while still working, was starting to act a little wonky (wouldn't automatically turn on when plugged in to external power, would go blank when I'd try to mark a geocache as "found" while I was on...

This is basically a suped-up GPSMAP 64. The new multi-GNSS and multi-band receiver works really well. I generally get 6 ft of GPS precision and GPS elevation is mostly within 10-20 feet if not less.

Tengo poco tiempo de usar el dispositivo. Parece una versión con esteroides de su predecesor GPSMAP64. También parece que la precisión en ubicación es mejor. La estética es ligeramente distinta, con la antena más cuadrada. Todavía compatible con protectores de series anteriores. Si hay una mejora considerable en los mapas preinstalados, específicamente en el de Costa Rica, que es el único que he utilizado. En general considero que los dispositivos Garmin son caros, pero no hay muchas opciones para escoger, así que toca pagar.
