Additional Features

In addition to the above features, this GPS and inReach powerhouse has a lot of other abilities. This includes items like a compass, altimeter, flashlight, weather maps and even a waypoint manager (allowing you to create a waypoint log that you can easily and quickly navigate back to). Also on board is a Sight ‘N Go feature, allowing you to point the 66i to a desired destination and project its waypoint or set a course to it. You can even register a 66i with geocaching.com in order to use it for geocaching hunting. If you want to roll with Garmin’s 66i’s capabilities that include two-way messaging, SOS, weather updates and location sharing, you’ll need an active subscription. Garmin offers a plethora of options to hook you up. Both month-to-month and annual plans are offered. Although the GPSMAP 66i has a steep price tag of nearly $600 and has a few bugs to still work out, this unit has tons of bells and whistles to potentially make this your one-stop-shop for GPS and inReach integrated satisfaction.
