How to Use a GARMIN GPSMAP64 with Basic Instructions

Hi. Four years later, your video is still helping people. What a practical video this was, showing real world use. Thanks very much.

Been a cyclist for a long time, but I've never known about this Garmin GPSMAP series before as my head is deep in Garmin Edge and Wahoo Bolt. I'll be doing a lot of bikepacking trips in the future, you Sir, have just convinced me to look into one of these GPSMAP devices. This looks niftier and more intuitive than the Garmin eTrex series! Thank you for such a mellow and easy to follow tutorial, besides, your voice is very therapeutic too!:) Keep up the good vibes and videos.

Me too, Edge was God, but now I'm going to try the 64st bought used last night. I don't need the competative and social part of the Edge family. Heartrate, cadence and route or logging the map. And I can use it in the canoe on the fjord etc. This will help me a lot the next days when I'm learning to use the new used device 👍

Very , very informative. Hell of a good job explaining the the GPSMAP 64. I have had GPS units for 20 years just like most folks but I still learned something. I will need to replacing my 15 year old 60 CSX that died 3-17-19. That was a great unit. Not sure if I will buy the plain 64ST because I bought the TOPO and City Nav DVD's yrs ago with my 60CSX. Anyway thanks for taking the time to explain the GPSMAP 64. Sure wish there was a power port on the GPS for traveling and not have to use up the batteries.

[@NLGhostWolf]

Thanks I'm glad you enjoyed it. Oh yes I would love to see them add Power Ports to the 64's... I would use my all the time on my daily travels on the land both with the ski-doo and Side by Side... and even in my vehicle for that matter. I'm always out exploring new areas for hunting and fishing. Now I just wait until I'm near the place before turning on my GPS with a Power port it would be turned on right from the get go....

Hey NLGhostWolf, excellent video. I bought the GPSMAP65 and definitely needed a how to use it video and you answered that call. It was super important for me to know how to use this device before going on an adventure. However, I plan to use roads to navigate from one waypoint to another and this GPS only does straight line as the crow flies. To use roads I have to buy and install software, but, now I know how to put in waypoints and that is essential. Thanks so much for the video.

I just picked up a Garmin GPSMAP 64csx. Your video has helped a lot to get me started. I'm mostly interested in Geocaching. My old Magellan Meridian (which I still love) is getting old and slow, and this unit is going to (dare I say) replace it. I tried the Magellan Tritan way back but it was a POS and I returned it in two days. And, I don't like the inaccuracies of using my phone for Geocaching.

Thanks very much for your informative video. I have a Garmin 64sx coming today. But holy crap. What a hassle to use! Lately I've been using GaiaGPS on my iPhone8, and it's fast and easy. The only reason I spent the money on the Garmin was because I often find myself roaming around out here in the wilderness and suddenly realize I'm in an area where there's no cell service and I haven't downloaded the hi-res topo maps for the region I'm in. So, the Garmin will at least give me some indication of where I am and what's there. Obviously, however, much better to have downloaded the suitable maps in advance for GaiaGPS.

[@NLGhostWolf]

Yes having the downloaded maps is ideal, or the Sat images. But taking the time to learn your GPS system which ever one you chose is key to safe travels. Cheers

Hi - thanks for the video and for attending to the follow-up comments. I'm wondering if you can get the unit to take you back to your original point along your breadcrumb trail rather than the shortest possible distance. In hilly terrain this is probably a more likely scenario then just walking the line produced by the 'Find' function.

[@NLGhostWolf]

Yes 100%, I will do a video on that... It's actually a wonderful idea for a video. I have used the breadcrumb trail to mark a trail into a moose before. It was getting dark and I needed to get a trail into the moose for the quad to follow after dark. Learned I should have flagged a couple of tricky spots but other than that the breadcrumb trail took use right back to the moose.

@@NLGhostWolf I recently purchased this model, and regarding calibration of the compass, the instructions say there is an option for "calibrate compass" when you're in the compass and press the MENU button. However when I press MENU while in the compass, there are only 3 options and no option for calibrating the compass. I noticed the instructions do show the 64ST model in the pictures. Is this the case for you? Or did you just calibrate the compass by walking around away from buildings when you first pulled it out of the box? Thanks for your time.

[@davidbrewer7937]

A tip: This unit guzzles battery life even when "turned off". I turn one battery backwards when I am no longer navigating to save batteries. With Garmin "off" is not "off"... It is a MAJOR frustration for me. If you do not do this you will get 18 ours from a pair of good alkaline batteries.

[@NLGhostWolf]

I constantly turn off my GPS when not needed.

[@davidbrewer7937]

@@NLGhostWolf I find that the batteries still drain down over 24 hours even when it is switched off... This is why I kill off whatever sneak application is running in the background by turning one battery backwards to shut it off completely. When "off" does not really mean "off". This is not a unit I would buy again, but I also have Trackmaps with all the extras for it so I am in for $500 for this unit.

[@NLGhostWolf]

Now sir, I would love to see that digital compass point your direction you've imputed without having to move. That would be brilliant. But in all fairness, you don't have to move much in-order for it to start pointing for you.

[@johnbalogna803]

@@NLGhostWolf that's why I carry a good manual orienteering compass doesn't require batteries or movement to provide a direction. GPS units years ago when I first purchased one would not show any direction or bearing info unless you were moving. Based on what I saw in this video it appears they still operate the same way now a days though they don't seem to take as long or too much movement to offer said info. Not saying their not useful just seem like these new units know where you are to within 1 meter and if you've plotted a course on one how damn hard is it for the unit to offer a compass point direction to where your going??

Looking to buy one of these after some thick fog set in and got disoriented and my phones gps tried to make me walk 3 miles for a spot that was actually .2 miles away.

They are handy rigs to have on you when travelling the back country.

when you found the Long it was a negative number, but you entered it in as a 058..... can you advise?

[@NLGhostWolf]

Not sure why that is but all I do is enter the digits it gives me and it works... I pay no attention to the negative....

Just ordered the gpsmap 64 to replace an older Magellan gps. Nice overview.

I hope you like it, I love mine. Got the SD card with all the topo's for my province. Simple to use and I truly love the signal strength it gets.
