Question: What subscription will give you satellite coverage 14.00 a month or 30.00 a month? Thanks

Thanks for the video that makes it simple for dummies. It shows how to actually use it instead of reading a 60 page manual.

Hi Rick ! I see that you receive a confirmation alert/beep on your GPSMAP 67i when the device receives a route synchronized from the Garmin Explore app on your iPhone. This is very useful, as it eliminates the need to constantly check the GPSMAP 67i and allows you to keep your hands free while setting up a new course on your mobile phone. I have checked and tested all the sound settings on the device but haven't been able to get this to work. Do you have any advice on how to enable this feature? Thanks for the great and informative videos you create!

Hi, have a question. When following a route on gpsmap 67i I get the message 'Route Calculation error'. When I press ok, the route is removed from the map on the screen. Any way I can solve this issue?

你的视频很棒！

Rick, thanks a lot for you video. Do you have a video explaining how to import coordinates from Excel to the GPS?. I have about 50 coordinates and obviously don't want to enter them manually. Since i have a nice spreadsheet I prefer somehow to import them to my GARMIN. Any idea how to do so?

So, we travel the world in our camper. We love hiking and had some interesting tips with quite dangerous parts. So we got ourselves a InReach Mini 2. 1) We dont have a fixed phone number anymore. How would a typical SOS then work? Writing within the app / on device or..? 2) How to create a scheduled test? Should we warn Garmin first? Thanks!

So does the track back on the in reach messenger device screen only tell you directions? There is no small version of a bread crumb trail?

ok so do you still prefer the 67i over the 650i after having it for a while

I purchased the Fenix 7, I must admit it’s like owning a GShock with about 99k more adjustments. If you had fun setting up a GShock wait till you get your hands on Garmin Fenix 7! Oh boy the fun you are going to have. It’s like needing a cheat sheet for old Nintendo codes. I use this only as a back up oh S€^t moments. It’s not something fun and easy to use. However better to have and not need than need and not have.

My daughter has been using the Inreach since the mini, she has the 2 now. I wish she had considered changing her plan a week ago. She never thinks about this stuff. In Patagonia for a week with only this as her contact. We have been communicating and she has been checking weather. I suppose it is fine, for a week…glad she has it. She has essential plan.

Thanks for the nice Video. Did you test if it's possible to transfer GPX files from your phone to the inreach mini if you don't have internet/cell coverage with the garmin explore app? The use case would be that you are outdoors without coverage and plans change. I have some offline map app on my iphone where I could generate a new GPX route. But Can I upload it to the inReach Mini 2 with the garmin explore app? With some other garmin devices / the garmin connect software this only works if you have internet connection, wich is kind of stupid for an oudoor device. Would appreciate a test/comment.

my girlfriend lives 370 miles away from me, would any of these work for us to communicate if a big outage occurred? for example cell towers going down.

I use gpsfiledepot for free online maps at 24k for any region of the world. Never bought a garmin map.

Great video. I got my 750i 3 years ago and that is a solid gps, now I’m thinking about to get the garmin fenix 8 sola 51mm.

Garmin is light years behind onxmaps Spartan Forge hunt stand you name it .

Just seems bizarre having to spend over £200 for a device that then requires a regular subscription!

What happened to the Bivy Stick Mesh?

Great device, terrible maps. The software looks outdated.

For boating, I love the spotx. Straight lines are ok for boat, 3 or 4 days for 1 charge, text easily with the keyboard, and globalstar is better and cheaper than iridium in my areas : Golf de gascogne ( bay of biscay) France.

But if you use your Garmin, you need your smartphone...

Brilliant, thanks. Bought 67i last year, love it!

Hi, thanks a lot for all the info! The supension is costly though (monthly fee), am I right? (Maybe it wasn't at the time you did the video).

I bought the Garmin Inreach Mini 2 and we plan on using it for a 500 mile hike across Spain, seven months from now. I would like to test out/practice with it now. However, if I understand correctly, the only way to do this is to 1)pay the Activation fee and 2)sign up for a monthly subscription, and 3)cancel the subscription after using it for a while, then 4) pay for the Activation fee again in seven months (as well as sign up again for the subscription)? Do I understand this correctly? This sounds very user un-friendly.

Very solid guide! I wish I had known all of this before thru hiking last Summer. 😅😩

have i watched all your tutorials, yes - do i know how this device works completely, yes but still gonna watch you explain it for an hour :D

Is it possible to contact a tow truck with this device?

Hi Rick, thanks for this, it was super helpful!!! Just a quick note on the off course function, I stumbled across this while editing how I wanted my Trip Computer to appear. Off Course is also one of the display functions you can have updating in real time, and it will tell you by how much and whether left or right of the trail - for eg R/L80m (I'm in Australia so my units are metres (m)). Also stumbled on a quick flashlight function. Its not as great as having a button on the device itself, but you can do a quick press of the power on/off button (two presses if you are in a page) and then the flashlight option is there where you can turn it on/off. A handy lock screen function there too.

Do I need outdoor map subscription to use hunt view?

Looks like the Enable plan isn't available in Canada....

I miss the multiband L1/L5 feature in all Montanas, therefore I would prefer the GPSMAP 67/67i.

The only meaningful update is the storage increase, and it's a real bummer that they did not provide even slightly more storage in 700 series, that storage requirement was clearly neglected by Garmin as evidenced by how many folks reported issues with map updates due to storage shortage. 710 feels like a cash-grab to be honest.

What you miss here are those unexpected shutdowns with 750i... should be solved in 760i. And this could be KEY difference.

Great video. I just bought one but I am not activating it until I leave months from now. My question is, did you create you’re course on the Garmin Messenger app?

Can you tell if the 760i is faster ? Waiting

I assume 10 minute tracking interval?

Garmin really needs to come out with a version that can accept batteries and or the battery pack , be nice to through in a fresh set of AA batteries in the event you are stuck out some place for a while

From what I've read elsewhere, you have to turn your phone to airplane mode when cell service gets sketchy as the phone tries to use cell instead of connecting to sat. Turning bluetooth off supposedly helps too.

The increased battery life is due to a new higher capacity battery pack that comes with the 710/760. You should be able to order this battery pack separately, and it is apparently compatible with the 700/750, giving them the same battery life. So that's one less difference.

The small update is mainly due to the new laws in Europe. From January 2025, devices without USB-C will no longer be allowed to be sold.

I always enjoy your videos, thank you! I’m looking forward to see if it is worth upgrading from the 700i and see if the UI speed is faster on the 750i and 760i. Also, what is the price of the new 750i and 760i.

Thanks for the great video. I just got the defy. The yearly cost went from 4.99 to 15.83 without tracking. 9.99 to add on tracking so inreach with tracking seams cheaper. If there are less satellites with defey( skylo) sos might work but tracking might be harder.

how do you manage data such that, after you delete tracks/routes/waypoints from the device, you can selectively synch it so that you don't get all of the available data back on the device? I have a 67i that I keep more data on than my Instinct Crossover watch. I load the 67i from basecamp on my computer. If I clear both my 67i and my watch, I think Garmin Explorer app will synch all data back onto both devices (unless I disconnect a device from Garmin Explorer). It seems like I have to clear both devices, then load the small amount of essential data that I always want on both devices, then, disconnect the watch from the Explorer App and then load the 67i with supplemental data I want on the 67i and allow the 67i to synch up with the Explorer App. Any thoughts? Thanks!

Hi Rick, I have a question about one of the tracking features. My son and I were thinking about buying one of these for when he and his friends go on a 3 day hike next month. The main feature I want is the ability to track his progress/location, as I had a dear friend nearly die after getting lost on a trail and rescuers took days to find him. I was wondering if the tracking would work if I have the Garmin Explore app downloaded and synced with my phone at home, while he's got it with him on the hike? Cheers.

Yearly plans are $189 + 9.99 now ouch!!

Any thoughts on sat. acquisition and network reliability between the two? I have the OG inReach Mini, and the biggest reason I'm looking to upgrade is that messages can sometimes take forever to transmit.

Can you install city navigator?

That’s scary. Imagine you got a new credit card and forgot to update it…

Any content on the way with the new montana 760i ?

I'd rather call and get faster service from a human being.
