  3. Then we have Ian’s FAQ, the questions he has been asked over the past month whilst supporting GPS Training customers

The Garmin GPSMAP 66sr.

So how does the Garmin GPSMAP 66sr differ from the Garmin GPSMAP 66s, GPSMAP 66st or GPSMAP 66i?

What are the key features on the Garmin GPSMAP 66sr.

  1. Multi-band GPSS – This is Garmin’s first Outdoor GPS unit to use five satellite systems, this being the GPS (American), GLONASS (Russian), Galileo (European), QZSS (Japanese) and IRSS (Indian).2.
  2. Pre-loaded TOPO Active mapping installed.
  3. Built-in battery – 36 hours battery life or 450 hours in Expedition Mode.
  4. And the rest …
  • Large Colour screen (3 inch)
  • ABC sensors – Altimeter, barometer to monitor weather and 3 axis electronic compass
  • Birdseye Satellite Imagery – The ability to download satellite imagery directly onto the unit
  • Garmin’s Active weather – when tethered to a smartphone you get real time weather forecasts
  • LED flashlight – this can also be used as a flashing beacon if need be
  • Live Geocaching – when tethered to smartphone or on a wifi
  • Garmin Explore App – The Garmin GPSMAP 66sr works alongside the Garmin Explore app, so you can download .gpx files onto your mobile phone or tablet and transfer directly onto the Garmin GPSMAP 66sr.

Ian’s FAQ’s

Master reset on their Garmin GPS’s and watches even if they’re quite new. I’ve had at least four people this month express a reluctance to do one, even when they’re new, some of the resets have worked, others haven’t. It also cured a battery drain problem in Carol’s Fenix 5S and then in a customer’s Fenix 6.

With regards to Satmap, perhaps the problem with the customer whose Active 20 was freezing. when it was sent back to Satmap by him on his return.

They found that their update hadn’t updated the GPS properly and while this customer was more than happy to deal with Satmap with our assistance.

And FinallyThe all new Garmin GPSMAP 66sr and
