User questions & answers

Question:	Is this good for geochashing
Answer:	This device would work well for geocaching
Question:	Will the 750i utilize the upcoming gps 3 system
Answer:	No. The Montana 750i used the GPS and GALILEO networks. GPS 3 will not be operational until 2023.
Question:	does the dog tracking system only require a T15 collar or the Alpha 100 as well
Answer:	The Alpha 100 will broadcast its dog track display to the Montana 700i but you would still require the Alpha Handheld and the Dog Device.
Question:	Can't this unit send Text messages like the inreach
Answer:	The Montana 700 cannot but the 700i and 750i versions can
Question:	Hi, does the product come in its original box
Answer:	Comes in a Garmin Refurbished unit Box
Question:	What SD Card is used
Answer:	Normal
Question:	what maps does this come with and how do you get additional maps
Answer:	Do need additional detail map
Question:	Is this accurate enough to measure property lines
Answer:	I used mine for that purpose, but realizing it will be accurate to about 20 feet, so it will not be absolute.
Question:	Can this be used for GEO caching
Answer:	Yes, the device supports that feature and comes preloaded with many geocaches. You can also load additional caches directly to the device with a premium membership via www.geocaching.com
Question:	On the 750, can you sync bluetooth headphones (such as AirPods) for radio use, or is the bluetooth only for transferring data between the units
Answer:	The headphones will not connect wirelessly and must be plugged in. The Bluetooth communication is designed for connection to your smartphone for features such as active weather and text notifications. The transfer of data between units is done using the ANT+communication protocol or by polling another users location with the radio features.
Question:	would it be able to charge the battery thru the USB
Answer:	Yes, the Rino 755 will recharge the battery with the supplied USB cable directly through the device.
Question:	Will this unit bluetooth connect with an ipad, like the garmin expedition does, for use with gaia or other map apps
Answer:	You can add Connect IQ features to your device from Garmin® and other providers using the Connect IQ Mobile app. You can customize your device with data fields, widgets, and apps but it will not be compatible with Gaia or other map apps.
Question:	Would this work for costal boating in the Florida Keys
Answer:	Can't see why not. Look online for Garmin-compatible charts, whether from Garmin or not. (My hiking map, with contours and more trails than the USGS maps, was a free download! Look around.) The eTrex models are waterproof, which is a plus. Think seriously about the display size, though. The whole unit fits in the palm of your hand, and its display is only a couple inches high. (See the specs. I might be off a little.) We hikers and hunters can stop and consult the unit, then start walking again. Your boat might travel quite a distance while you peer at that tiny screen, even with the engine stopped. Just a thought.Garmin obviously had boaters in mind when they programmed this, regardless of its size. It even has a "Man Overboard" function that instantly records its current location, then displays the distance and direction back to there while you turn the boat around. It shows tides, too, at whatever tide stations are close to you. Bottom line: it will do everything you need (I think) and do it all day and on into the next morning on a pair of AA cells, but your eyes will ask you why you didn't buy something with a bigger screen.
Question:	does this gps come with preloaded topo maps for the United States
Answer:	The maps that come preloaded are: Worldwide DEM Basemap (NR), Digital Globe demo (Jnx) and USGS Quads - Grand Canyon National Park (Jnx). Unfortunately, you will have to get the topo maps separately.
Question:	Does this unit have an electronic compass? Or do you have to be movin to recieve an acccurate reading. Thanks
Answer:	yes on the compass (electronic) but turn on the WAAS depending on if you set the compass for a true north or magnetic north WAAS gets rid of the errors jumping from satellite to satellite
Question:	What is the significant difference between this Garmin and the Garmin Oregon 600t base model without the camera
Answer:	The Oregon and all the Garmin "state" models all have a touch screen, don't they? The eTrex series doesn't. For controls it has the Power/battery check button and "back button on the right, and on the left, the zoom-in and -out buttons, plus the Menu button. On the front, at top-right, is the main control, a little thumbstick. Use it for scrolling and selecting menu items and for moving the map beyond your location.You'll want to spend some time reading the manual; this thing has a LOT of functionality. Most important shortcut: no matter how deep you go in the menus, double-tapping the Menu button takes you back to the main screen, with Map highlighted.

The eTrex series is the first-ever consumer-grade receivers that can track both GPS and GLONASS satellites simultaneously. When using GLONASS satellites, a system developed by the Russian Federation, the time it takes for the receiver to 'lock on' to a position is (on average) approximately 20 percent faster than using GPS.

User questions & answers

Question:	I'm going to do a thru hike of the Superior trail. Can I load the GPS coordinates from the trail website directly into this unit
Answer:	Yes. I have download many bike tours directly from the bicycle websites.
Question:	Can I input longitude and latitude
Answer:	I need to get coordinates UTM and latitude and longitude, I live in Venezuela, this team works for my country? the computer brings up a screen that generates UTM coordinates and lat / log?
Question:	I would like to buy it for lead my hiking outside, I just want it can help me don't get lost in woods,and make me go right trials, is it OK for that
Answer:	Its not going to show the right trails, but it will prevent you from getting lost.
Question:	Can I buy more detailed maps from Garmin and load them on this device
Answer:	I don't know about the eTrex 10, but for the eTrex 20 & 30 you can purchase extremely detailed world wide maps from Amazon & Ebay for a fraction of the cost you will pay if purchased directly from Garmin. I have an eTrex 30 and it is the best GPS I've ever owned. I have the mini United States, Canada, Mexico, and Caribbean maps card installed. It shows even the private driveways out in the country side. The vehicle mounts that work on the 20 & 30 won't work on the 10. The type that slides on the back of the unit.

Product description

You may venture off the grid, but you’re never out of reach as long as you’re carrying an inReach SE+ or inReach Explorer+. These handheld satellite communicators are designed for the outdoor enthusiast who wants to roam farther and experience more without compromising their loved ones‘ peace of mind. From backcountry experiences to international adventures, inReach provides communication, location sharing, navigation and critical SOS functions for anyone who loves getting away from it all, on land, water or in the skies.

• 100 percent global Iridium satellite coverage enables two way text messaging from anywhere (satellite subscription required)
• Trigger an interactive SOS to the 24/7 search and rescue monitoring center
• Track and share your location with family and friends. Water rating : IPX7. Battery : Rechargeable internal lithium ion
• Pair with mobile devices using the free earthmate app for access to downloadable maps, U.S. NOAA charts, color aerial imagery and more
• In reach explorer+ device adds preloaded Delorme topo maps with onscreen GPS routing plus built in digital compass, barometric altimeter and accelerometer

User questions & answers

Question:	Can this device be used as a gps without an active satellite subscription
Answer:	Yes it can. Without a subscription the inReach Explorer+ has a 24k scale topo map of North America built-in and the ability to navigate using its compass, barometric altimiter, and accelerometer. But why would you pay $450 for these features when Garmin and other companies give them to you for much less in other devices. The significant reason to buy the inReach is its satillite communication features, including GEOS Search and Rescue response. Please note, if you don't have an active subscription you CAN'T TURN IN ON from the trail. If you get into an emergency situation you won't have satellite access. Therefor you can't get an SOS through. You can't send an email to DeLorme (now Garmin) to turn it on. You're isolated from the outside world even though the device has the features you need. Without the active subscription they won't work. Because of this, I choose to subscribe to the ANNUAL plan which is always active. The cheapest version is under $15 / month including taxes. That way I'm always assured of communications even if I break down on the Interstate outside of cell phone range. Their other FREEDOM plan is a bit more expensive but allowes you to turn the subscription on or off on a monthly basis. This seems like a great option if you only hike during the Summer months. But don't look to it when you slide off the road in January and you have no active service.
Question:	Does it cost when you receive messages or is it included in the plan
Answer:	You are charged for messages sent and also messages received. You also pay for tracking points (your location) sent to your online map for friends to follow you. What you are charged depends on the level of service you choose and the subscription plan you have. The basic SAFETY level at $11.95 (Annual Contract plan) or $14.95 (Freedom plan - no contract) each month. It gets you 10 messages and no tracking points. Additional messages are $0.50 each. Tracking points are $0.10 each. The RECREATION level has unlimited messages and tracking points and costs $49.95 or $64.95 each month depending on your plan.
Question:	I'm trying to figure out the satellite subscription. does it include any search & rescue insurance? find me spot does, but i don't like their device
Answer:	Yes, a subscription to GEOS (the same search and rescue service offered with a SPOT) is included with the monthly fee.
Question:	If the Iridium service is suspended, does this device become a paperweight like the Explorer, locking you out of the gps, tracks, msg history, etc
Answer:	Iridium is used for two functions, messaging and track updates to your MapShare page. The GPS features are self contained, like other Garmin units. So without the satellites you still have your exact location on a 24k scale map, digital compass, track log on the InReach for easy return via the same route, pre-loaded waypoints and routes for navigation, and the ability to connect to a Smarphone where you may have pre-downloaded additional maps, such as color satellite views. What you lose if satellites are down (which they never are) is connectivity with the outside world through messages and track reporting to your MapShare site. Think of it this way. If you had a GPS app on your phone and the cell service went down you still could see where you are on your app but you couldn't text home.

Garmin inReach Explorer+

Handheld Satellite Communicator with Maps and Sensors

Explore Anywhere. Communicate Everywhere.

Using the worldwide coverage of the Iridium satellite network, these go-anywhere portable devices let you exchange text messages with any cell phone number or email address anywhere – while using GPS to track and share your journey’s progress.

In case of an at-risk situation, you can also use inReach to trigger an SOS to the 24/7 monitoring center, text back and forth about the nature of your emergency, and receive confirmation when help is on the way.

Track and Share Your Whereabouts

Turn on the tracking function of your inReach SE+ or Explorer+ communicator, and let family and friends follow your progress on their computers or mobile devices, using the web-based MapShare portal. The inReach device will send waypoints at preselected time intervals, so followers can track your whereabouts online. You can also invite your crew back home to use MapShare to ping your inReach unit and see your GPS location, track your movements and exchange messages during your trip. You can even embed your MapShare page on a blog, website or social media.

Get Weather Wherever

The optional inReach weather forecast service provides detailed updates directly to your inReach device, compatible smartphone or tablet paired with the Earthmate app, so you’ll know what conditions to expect en route. Basic and premium weather packages are offered. And you can request weather forecasts for your current location or any other waypoint or destination on your itinerary.

Who Will Answer Your SOS? GEOS Will.

GEOS is the world leader in emergency response solutions and monitoring. They’ve supported rescues in more than 140 countries, saving many lives in the process. And they’re standing by 24/7/365 to respond to your SOS, track your device and notify the proper contacts and emergency responders in your area. Then, while help is on the way, GEOS will continue to text back and forth with you, providing updates and critical information until your situation is resolved.

Pair with Your Mobile Device

For even more capability and convenience, the free Earthmate app syncs your inReach handheld via Bluetooth with your compatible Apple or Android device so you can access unlimited maps, aerial imagery and U.S. NOAA charts. Plus, Earthmate allows you to conveniently use all of the inReach features on your paired mobile device. For easier messaging, you can also sync your inReach device with your phone’s contact list to reach anyone, anywhere – with fewer keystrokes.

User questions & answers

Question:	Can this take onX chip
Answer:	Yes
Question:	How big an sd card can you use
Answer:	You can use any size card you want, there are tutorials on how to use 128GB card and we suspect that you can also use 256GB card, big problem is that it must be formatted in Fat32 format which is a very old format, and if you transfer payloads larger than 4 GB in size the files will get corrupted, Fat32 is also very slow, so if you go for the big 256GB card, prepare to take several weeks to upload that many maps, and also prepare for the GPS to take several minutes to read the whole library. 32GB memory stuff they say is absolute rubbish, google it and you will see, if it can be done with 64, it can be done in 66.
Question:	Can it be run on aa/aaa batteries or does it require the rechargeable pack
Answer:	Unlike its sister GPS only device, the GPSMAP 66st the InReach added GPSMAP 66i only comes with a built-in rechargable battery which is not accessible by the user. I suspect that this is because the energy requirements needed to push InReach messages far into space to passing Iridium satellites requires a battery with more capacity than AA batterirs can provide. So, like all InReach models the GPSMAP 66i has an internal lithium battery that is not accessible by the user. When, after many years if service it dies, a replacement can be swapped in by Garmin and the unit resealed to meet the waterproof standard.
Question:	Do you need to add a service provider or can you just use it as is
Answer:	I appologize in advance to those who understand the following information. But to those new to the world of InReach satellite communications I will try to explain the basics. The InReach features buit into the GPSMAP 66i are for text and email (no photos) messages to anyone from anywhere on Earth using the Iridium Satellite nexwork. Garmin provides these services for reasonable price plans that can meet every budget from $13/ mth. To $70/mth depending on your expected use of the system. InReach also can provide Remote Tracking which will send your position via the satellites to a unique map page where family and friends can follow your progress. Garmin has two types of plans, each with the multi-level options mentioned above. The Annual Contract plan keeps your InReach active and ready to communicate at all times, like a Cell phone. If you choose this plan you are committed for the first year no matter what your actual usage. After that you are free to drop the service at any time. They also offer a convenient and flexable Freedom plan that costs a bit more but lets you deactivate the InReach for any months when you won't need it, It costs $24.99 each year plus the first month's cost depending on the level of service you choose. After that first month you may deactivate or activate it on a month to month basis. The only thing to remember is you MUST activate before heading into the backcountry away from Internet access. Activation and deactivation may only be done on-line. Never from the InReach via the satellites. The satelllites will not accept any messages ( even SOS) from deactivated units. All InReach services are provided through Garmin via your unique account site. If you choose not to sign up for an InReach communication plan you may use all of the other features of the GPSMAP 66i. But if you NEVER intend to use the InReach features I would suggest you consider buying the GPSMAP 66st at a lower price but without the capibility to use the InReach communication and SOS services from remote location beyond the cellular range. As for me, I would spend the extra money for the GPSMAP 66i and keep the option to activate InReach communnications if only to have the ability to contact emergency sercices at the press of an SOS button or to get roadside help from a dead Cell zone. The plans are flexable and inexpensive and can save your life.

User questions & answers

Question:	Does the 78sc include the Great Lakes coastal areas
Answer:	Hi Thomas,Since I just have the 78 I'm not sure. With the 78 I bought the micro card that gives me maps of all US, Canada, some Bahamas and Mexico. The original GPS without the card gave only a no detail sketch of landmasses. with the card, it does show depths and boys of the great lakes areas. According to the west marine catalogue, the SC comes with the chart I bought preloaded, which is a really good deal. Had I realized I would be buying the chip, it would have made more sense to get the SC. I'm thinking about adding the chip with topographic features for land travel. http://www.westmarine.com/buy/garmin--gpsmap-78sc-marine-handheld-gps-receiver-with-compass-and-barometer--11553609

User questions & answers

Question:	Will this also record your entire hike or trip? For instance the Map My Hike app for phones shows time, distance, and elevation once complete
Answer:	Yes it will record the entire hike or trip. Important though is to clear the previous track before starting a new one, once you are at the start of your new trip. Then when you complete the hike/trip save the track with a fitting name so you can then load it into basecamp or the much more useful earlier version , mapsource.
Question:	Will the 64st have some road capability along with the 100K topo? Also want to add 24k Mid atlantic, does unit have extra SD slot? is it micro
Answer:	I have the 64s. The 64st only has the US 100k topos included. I have the Garmin Southwest and West 24k maps loaded. If you want ROUTABLE road maps for the WHOLE USA you can get the navigator maps from Garmin or use the free ones which I use from openmapchest.org. They are very good. I have ALL the maps loaded on the SD card at once and it is easy to switch between them. The unit does have a micro SD slot under the battery.
Question:	What is or are the main advantages of the 64S over the 64 base model
Answer:	A big advantage, with the 64s I can exchange off-road maps and planned routes from other racers GPS's in the field using the units radios (bluetooth/ANT). With the basic unit, I understand you have to connect your GPS to a computer using the USB cable. If all you do is hike by yourself, the basic unit will do. Remember, the 64s does not have US topo maps. You will need the 64st.
Question:	what the difference between Garmin 64 series and Garmin 62 series
Answer:	Hi Kermit, sorry it's been a while since I logged on to Amazon. I'll start by saying that I used a 62 doing surveys as a contractor with DHS. It was a fine unit and did its job. In my work I never had to push any of its features to their limit so for us, it was very adequate. Having said that, when it came time for me to purchase a GPS for myself, I wanted the newer model, so therefore I went with the model 64. Keep in mind, both are base models for their respective series, so they do not have the fancier features of the s and st. As far as comparison, the 64, being newer has a bit more, but not that you'll necessarily notice. It depends on your use 64 62Built in Memory: 4GB vs. 1.7GBWaypoints: 5000 vs. 2000Data cards: Accepts microSD vs. Does not acceptGeocaching: 250,000 preloaded vs. paperlessHigh SensitivityReceiver: GLONASS AND GPS vs. NoneThere are complete lists on the internet as to which does what. I believe they are both pretty good units but the 64, being newer, is updated with a few more features and a bit more memory. the only drawback I can think of is that it lists the battery capacity at 16 hours vs 20 for the 62. In addition, I don't know if you can even get the 62 anymore. Once again, having used both, I see not major difference if you're just going to use it for some hiking, biking, getting your position, bearing, etc. Unless you're a scientist or you're going to load all kinds of data or save copious amounts of data or the like, I doubt you'll even notice the difference. I do believe the GLONASS does make a big difference in speedy acquisition of satellites, though. Sometimes it's acquired a fix even seconds after I turn it on. Is it a big deal? Not really, but hey, that might speak to the sensitivity of the unit in the field. So far, I'm happy with it. I hope this helps answer some of your questions.

User questions & answers

Question:	Is this new in the box
Answer:	Not sure exactly which Garmin product you are viewing but my Garmin Montana 680t was new with all software and paperwork.
Question:	What is included in the box. That would be helpful. 120 charger, 12v charger ? USB cord ? batteries
Answer:	I bought mine used, no box, but it came with 120v charger, usb cord and one lithium battery, quick start guide.
Question:	Is this a good choice to use ocean kayaking in Maine
Answer:	Have not used it on the water yet. However have used It on land in wooded areas many times and find it easy to use. I don’t see why it would not be just as good on the water.
Question:	Are the topo u.s. 100k maps preloaded
Answer:	Yes, per the Product Description ...comes preloaded with TOPO U.S 100K maps...
Question:	Hi, does the product come in its original box
Answer:	Comes in a Garmin Refurbished unit Box
Question:	What SD Card is used
Answer:	Normal
Question:	what maps does this come with and how do you get additional maps
Answer:	Do need additional detail map
Question:	Is this accurate enough to measure property lines
Answer:	I used mine for that purpose, but realizing it will be accurate to about 20 feet, so it will not be absolute.

Answer:	You can add Connect IQ features to your device from Garmin® and other providers using the Connect IQ Mobile app. You can customize your device with data fields, widgets, and apps but it will not be compatible with Gaia or other map apps.
Question:	Would this work for costal boating in the Florida Keys
Answer:	Can't see why not. Look online for Garmin-compatible charts, whether from Garmin or not. (My hiking map, with contours and more trails than the USGS maps, was a free download! Look around.) The eTrex models are waterproof, which is a plus. Think seriously about the display size, though. The whole unit fits in the palm of your hand, and its display is only a couple inches high. (See the specs. I might be off a little.) We hikers and hunters can stop and consult the unit, then start walking again. Your boat might travel quite a distance while you peer at that tiny screen, even with the engine stopped. Just a thought.Garmin obviously had boaters in mind when they programmed this, regardless of its size. It even has a "Man Overboard" function that instantly records its current location, then displays the distance and direction back to there while you turn the boat around. It shows tides, too, at whatever tide stations are close to you. Bottom line: it will do everything you need (I think) and do it all day and on into the next morning on a pair of AA cells, but your eyes will ask you why you didn't buy something with a bigger screen.
Question:	does this gps come with preloaded topo maps for the United States
Answer:	The maps that come preloaded are: Worldwide DEM Basemap (NR), Digital Globe demo (Jnx) and USGS Quads - Grand Canyon National Park (Jnx). Unfortunately, you will have to get the topo maps separately.
Question:	Does this unit have an electronic compass? Or do you have to be movin to recieve an acccurate reading. Thanks
Answer:	yes on the compass (electronic) but turn on the WAAS depending on if you set the compass for a true north or magnetic north WAAS gets rid of the errors jumping from satellite to satellite
Question:	What is the significant difference between this Garmin and the Garmin Oregon 600t base model without the camera
Answer:	The Oregon and all the Garmin "state" models all have a touch screen, don't they? The eTrex series doesn't. For controls it has the Power/battery check button and "back button on the right, and on the left, the zoom-in and -out buttons, plus the Menu button. On the front, at top-right, is the main control, a little thumbstick. Use it for scrolling and selecting menu items and for moving the map beyond your location.You'll want to spend some time reading the manual; this thing has a LOT of functionality. Most important shortcut: no matter how deep you go in the menus, double-tapping the Menu button takes you back to the main screen, with Map highlighted.

User questions & answers

Question:	Is this model the 78sc
Answer:	as per the picture of this model it does NOT look like it is the sc model. i have the 78sc and it is labeled that way on the front of the unit
Question:	hi again, morning. does the gamin model 78 have build in compass? thanks
Answer:	In spite of the large number of "yes" answers, the answer is NO. The 78 has no compass, but you can select the more expensive 78s, near the top of the listing. It and the even more expensive 78sc DO have a compass (and a barometer/altimeter). You don't really need a compass with a GPS, since walking a few feet in any direction can produce a track on the screen, which shows you the direction you're moving. A GPS is much more useful than a compass. To be clear, the 78 does have a compass "page" which can show you which way you're moving, but if you stop it doesn't work. It can also show your altitude, but without an altimeter the altitude estimate averages about twice the error as the location estimate, so it might not be too useful.
