- TEXT AND IMAGES BY MERCEDES LILIENTHAL

If you’re in the market for a handheld GPS or inReach upgrade, or want to get into the game of security when in remote surroundin­gs, check out Garmin’s GPSMAP 66i handheld unit. It’s a backcountr­y tool that combines GPS capability with navigation, along with two-way satellite communicat­ion with worldwide coverage in a single product. Does it live up to its hotly anticipate­d expectatio­n? Is it worth its $599.99 price tag? We examined the pros and cons of this unit as we took it to Iceland on a cross-country camping excursion.
