Garmin 010-02258-10 GPSMAP 64sx, Handheld GPS with Altimeter and Compass, Preloaded with TopoActive Maps, Black/Tan

This garmin GPS worked nice for my Arizona hiking trip around the Grand Canyon and other areas in Arizona. I also used while exploring the Arizona desert mountains in a Polaris RZR side by side. It actually showed the various main off road trails, I was surprised! It came preloaded with Arizona topo map. The Map had all the Arizona trails on it that I needed. Prior to leaving the trail head I would mark it as a way point after clearing the prior way point. Be sure to clear your prior foot tracks from the prior hike before starting a new trail. It kept track of my route so I could find my way back to the car. Battery life with alkaline batteries was around 14-16 hrs , I left it on continuously to test it prior to traveling. I had it only set to GPS satellite mode to maximize battery life. screen brightness was at 50%. Be sure you select the type of batteries you are using under the system settings. I then tried using Energizer lithium batteries and they lasted even longer :) . The user interface is rather straight forward after using it for a few days around my home area. I did watch a few videos to make sure I knew how to use it properly. I am not sure why people give this device poor reviews. The buttons are nice compared to a touch screen. The screen is very easy to see in direct sun light on medium brightness setting. Be sure to bring a traditional compass and general map. Be sure to familiarize yourself with the area you will be exploring

Go this after my legend CX died from batteries leaking. unit was over 10 years old. The 64 is awesome and doesnt feel like a toy at all. very powerful with built in maps. routing works, uploading maps and tacks from all trails is super super easy. edit... still works very well, after many 5+ mile treks. I did end up getting a GPSMAP65S and it is hands down the one you want. if you cant pony up 400 for the 65S, then get this one. ABC sensors are a must

I am still learning about this Unit, seems to be accurate. My complaint is there really is not main display screen that would make the Unit more User friendly. I had a Magellan and that featured Coordinates (2 formats), Time and Date on the same screen and that was very handy. The Garmin does not have such a screen and to me that is a detriment. I might not have bought this Unit had I known that. But that is just me.

Cumple con el propósito destinado

I have used several Garmin handheld unit in the past 20 years with both 100K and 24K maps. I use my GPS for biking and hiking with a little geocaching now and then. I have been very happy that all the trails that I’ve gone on this year have been on the map which my 600T did not. Plus the topoactive maps receive updates so you have updated information all the time. So far it’s the best that 8 have used. Happy Trails.

Takes some practice getting use to operation.

My husband loves this little device. Guess it’s a total male thing cause it does not excite me one bit. He’s used it several times now when he has gone hunting and said it works great.

Hard to use as the interface is not as easy as we're accustomed to. While packed with many useful features it is hard to find them and the instructions are not that easy, clear, or as complete as necessary. On top of tat there is no good instructional video to guide you through using and being competent with it, not even on YouTube. I'm sure this. a great product of you really become expert with it but Garmin needs to offer better guide through videos or better training somewhere. They must assume its straight forward because they know their own product so well or that purchasers are very experienced with it but that is not a smart strategy as it turns off a lot of potential buyers. I am fairly smart so I can figure this out but it seems like more work and effort than is necessary. Also the interface and button coordination is a little clunky and awkward.

Justo lo que dice en la descripción, excelente aparato

Ordered through Amazon Australia, but unit sold by Amazon US. In the product description it stated "Preloaded with Topo Active maps (U. S. and Australia only) featuring routable roads and trails for cycling and hiking" but it was only loaded with US TopoActive Maps. When I asked Amazon to complete my order they marked the order for return (which I did not request). I want the Garmin 64sx, but I also want my free Australia TopoActive map. Either send it to me on a microSD, or give me a voucher with Garmin for the map.

I bought this for a week trip of hiking in Banff National Park. It lasts 10 to 11 hrs of use of fully charged Duracell NiMH batteries. Very dependable and it's easy to upload .gpx files into the device for custom made trails made via AllTrails app. Also, it has a lot of preloaded trails from all over the world. It fell out of my pocket and into a river 3 times--and it still works perfectly. It has very good waterproofing. It's a little expensive, but it's worth it, you simply won't get lost if you have it--and it's 500 times more reliable than a phone.
