- If you don\'t care about a large screen and navigation, this is the GPSr for you. Perfect for scientific fieldwork and exploration, which is why I got it. My previous GPSr\'s were a GPSMap76, which burnt up in a housefire, and then an eTrex as a very cheap replacement. This is far, far superior to either. Regular accuracy is <2m, and incredibly, it came with a detailed road map of Jamaica, where I live and use it - even includes the most obscure, unnamed, minor roads and lanes. All the controls are with buttons, which makes it much easier to use in the bush than a touch-screen (you can do it with one hand). You can, of course, add your own custom maps (a tip on that - don\'t use the Google Earth method, just open the kml in a text editor and do the georeferencing manually). I\'m very pleased with it.

- Definitely the best money can buy
- Bought this thinking it would help up my accuracy for mapping. This particular model doesn\'t have a solid compass. It takes a while for your position to update to show which direction you are facing. It takes atleast 20-30 steps in one direction to really tell which way your going. My cellphone is highly more accurate than this unit so I can definitely say this was a huge waste of money. I brought this out to Colorado and yellowstone and my phone still had better accuracy and was faster and was much easier to use. Maybe buy a better unit with a better compass and updates position faster? These things aren\'t cheap. Can\'t believe I paid $300 for this. I put custom maps on the unit. This process was a little hard to do since you have to watch a few YouTube videos on how to do so. Don\'t buy maps from garmin, it\'s huge scam when you can get open street maps on this unit for free. You can also put kmzs on here from caltopo with is helpful. Better yet, just buy a premium subscription from caltopo for $30 bucks and your phone will be much better than this GPS.
- works perfectly as described.
- I\'m very pleased with the quality and function of this GPS. I purchased the Garden TOPO 2009 NE US Map microsSD card so I\'d get as close as the USGS topo map as possible, and it seems fine. My only slight problem was figuring out how to use Base Camp which I downloaded to work with tracks on my computer.
- I had many bluetooth issues at first and the GPS interface is cluncky. I can deal with all of that but there is a major design flaw with this device. When importing custom maps, there is no functionality allowing them to be disabled. This means that when a custom map is put on the device, no other maps are visible. The only way to see the other maps is to remove the custom map. I comtacted garmin support and the workflow they suggested was for me to put the custom map on an SD card and then remove the card when I want to turn it off. That is a laughable work flow.This is major letdown as custom maps was a big part of my reason for purchasing this. I cannot recmend this device. This is basic functionality that exists on other models and was overlooked by garmin on this new model. I consider it to be a bug they need to fix.
- i HAVE A GPSMAP 64SX, AND THE 65S IS HANDS DOWN FASTER, AND MORE ACCURATE! LATEST 3.7 SOFTWARE SOLVES SOME OF THE ISSUES, NO CUSTOM MAP ISSUES HERE. I AM ALWAYS 1.8 METER ACCURACY (6 FOOT) VS 9-15 FEET ON THE 64SX.
