Getting ready to pick up a 67i for some hiking the wife is going to be doing in the west. Any comments good or bad? Something better? I want her to have something where she can get help if injured. Etc. GPS and mapping/directions/tracking.
Garmin inreach 67i. Any comments
- Thread starter AndLovingIt
- Start date
Are their maps worth the cost? Especially with a screen that small. I bought a 67i earlier this year and have been playing with it, but I’ve not used it on anything other than day hikes so far. I have OnX too. I drew a cow tag in unit 66A in Idaho for October, that’s where I plan to really use it.
The critical feature of Garmin's in-reach is the 2-way text via sat-com.
Last week, there was a rescue on mt williamson (14'r), where an in-reach saved someone's ass. Woman had an open fx and needed high altitude resucue. Took over 24 hrs. to get her out on a .mil blackhawk.

I have the Mini and an Oregon. I’m considering upgrading to 67i or 700i and interested in people’s experiences too.
Garmin devices rock... Which model depends on your use case. Every member of my family has one. Personally, I don't think the maps are worth it. The screens are fairly small. YMMV.
