GPSMAP 65s, Button-operated Handheld with Altimeter and Compass, Expanded Satellite Support and Multi-band Technology, 2.6" Color Display

I have used Garmin dedicated GPS handheld receivers for many years as I value the extra security of a separate compass tracker to my smartphone. This model is robust and operates in all weathers and has an easy interface which I am used to from earlier models. With an array of different attachments, it is easy to carry and access whilst hiking. I create maps of the routes I follow using Basecamp and pairing with my smartphone adds extra useful functionality when archiving the hike details, and in creating new routes. As with previous models the convenience of standard AA batteries makes this a particularly practical choice. Installing an extra micro-SD card allows the flexibility to download maps of different European countries, an important aspect as I am based in the UK.

This is my third Garmin GPS, the other two both still work well but I just wanted to treat myself to a new one. I use it for geocaching as I much prefer the waterproof, tough, non-touch-screen, running on 2 Double A batteries (rechargeable) as opposed to walking round rough countryside carrying my phone and hoping I won't drop it on a rock, into water or thick mud! This GPS will survive all that and keep going!

Já conheço o produto, recomendo

Lo he usado una vez en campo y todo funcionó bien. Aún tengo que probar la app y el Bluetooth y checar si hay mapas que pueda adquirir de mi área de estudio.

Easy and logical with a “MARK” button right out on the pad. No program searching. Lots of other features, Hunt and Fish Times, Lunar Times etc. The thing I like…it doesn’t take 15 minutes to find satellites. Turn it on and BAM, ready to go. Well worth my money.

Buyers outside North & South America note this "US imports may differ from local products." Buying in Australia for my parents. After months of them saying it didn't work we found it only had North America and South America maps. Another $200AU on the Garmin store to buy the maps we needed.

Excellent GPS et l'interface cellulaire fonctionne très bien! Ce n'est pas la dernière génération, mais c'est un excellent produit comme Garmin sais les faires!
