◦The 66i is a professional level, rugged GPS built to withstand and outdoor environment. You can drop it, get it wet, sit on it, and it works.
◦The unit is ergonomically well thought out and works well in your hand, in all conditions.
◦The built-in InReach technology works pretty much the same (if not identical to) the other InReach devices.
◦The GPSMAP 66i is fast. It boots up quickly and gets a GPS fix very fast. The software works well and mostly doesn’t lag (unless you do a drastic zoom on the map).
◦The topo maps that come preloaded on the device are much better than they used to be.
◦ Has a micro-SD card slot to supplement the 16gb of internal storage.
◦The battery works as advertised and you can tweak some settings to get weeks of tracking out of it.
◦The screen is big and bright, and easy to read in direct sunlight and rain.
◦ InReach lets you stay in contact with my friends back home
◦ Allows calls to emergency services to your location in case of an accident.
