Garmin GPSMAP 66i Handheld GPS Navigator

Precise navigation meets global communication in the rugged GPSMAP 66i button-operated GPS handheld and satellite communicator1 featuring Garmin TopoActive Europe mapping and inReach® technology. See it in any light. Use it in any conditions. GPSMAP 66i was built for that. When mobiles can’t connect, inReach can. Communicate with confidence. Multi-GNSS satellite support puts superior navigation at your fingertips. Get maps as pretty as a picture and just as detailed — without a subscription. Know the terrain before you’re in it, with preloaded TopoActive maps of Australia and New Zealand. Stay out there longer with up to 35 hours of battery life in tracking mode and up to 200 hours in Expedition mode.

100% GLOBAL IRIDIUM® SATELLITE NETWORK

LED FLASHLIGHT
The GPSMAP 66 series helps you keep gear to a minimum with a built-in LED flashlight that can be used as a beacon to signal for help.
