Garmin GPSMAP 66i Handheld GPS with Satellite Communicator - The sturdy, button-operated GPSMAP 66i features a large 3 inch color display you can see even in bright sunlight. If you’re out in the field for long stretches of time, you can turn on Expedition mode and get up to 200 hours of battery life while using inReach technology. In the default tracking mode, you get up to 35 hours of battery life, and your device will save your location every 10 minutes.
Staying in touch is vital, even on less challenging trips.
