Users of the previous 60 and 62 models will be right at home with the latest version of Garmin's GPSMAP series. The interface and software is exactly the same as that as the 62 series with nothing new to learn. New users will find it easy pick up after a quick read through the manual and a little time operating it. The menus are fairly intuitive, but might take some time to get familiar with navigating them and finding your way back to certain options. Never fear though, there are infinite resources available on the internet should a question arise!
Major improvements made to this unit are all under the hood. The new quad helix antenna allows you to get a very swift fix on your position by utilizing signals from not only GPS but also from the Russian GLONASS satellite constellation. The unit's improved three axis electronic compass accurately points at North (True, Maganetic, Grid, or User Defined North are available settings) no matter how the unit is held. The compass on the 64s makes a significant improvement on its predecessor's. It has Bluetooth and ANT+ support allowing you to connect to your cell phone and other accessories like a heart rate monitor or temperature sensor, as well as the option to recharge its batteries without removing them from the unit.
Geocachers will be happy to find that it comes preloaded with a great many worldwide caches from geocaching.com, making it easy to pick up and search for a cache whenever the mood strikes. A built in barometric altimeter makes it easy to track your elevation changes while also monitoring trends in pressure changes.
I recently took it hiking through the mountains of Eastern Europe, and with it loaded with free maps from Open Street Maps I never once questioned my location. It had no problem finding a route along a hiking trail while simultaneously recording my elevation changes and pointing me to geocaches along the way. I highly recommend this unit to anyone who wants to have a quality piece of equipment that will keep them on course anywhere in the world.
A few things that could be improved are the following:
-Compared to previous models the battery life is rather short. This can be mitigated by turning off GLONASS and WAAS reception, as well as turning down the back lighting. Throw and extra set of AA's in your pack as a contingency.
-One of the great things about this unit is that the user can choose from many different coordinate systems (Lat/Long, MGRS, UTM, etc) but did not support the less popular systems as much as the more common. If you are a radio amateur you will be disappointed to find that it will only give you a Maidenhead Locator grid out to six digits, making the extended locator unavailable whereas it gives a ten digit MGRS grid.
-The screen is rather low resolution, and while for the price I'm not expecting an Apple Retina display, I do think it could stand to be a bit better and a bit larger.
All in all this is a great piece of tech to have. It is well worth the money and you will use it over and over. Just remember, all technology will fail eventually, and no GPSr is a substitute for a good map and compass as well as knowing how to use them.
Most recently I put the unit to work in dense brush while searching for a lost dog over three days to keep track of where I had already searched and so I had a accurate fix on my position. It worked flawlessly and had no trouble getting a fix no matter how far into the brush I was.
I have zero regrets purchasing this unit and plan to buy a second as a backup. I can't highly recommend it to anyone in the market for a standalone GPS enough.

Overall, I am very pleased with the device and I regularly use it, even for short walks to track my distance. A worthy investment
I do believe that Garmin was supposed to release an iOS app for the ability to transfer routes to/from the device. This has not been released and it appears that Garmin have abandoned this idea. So the only way (from what I have found out) to transfer routes is via a computer. Heads up: I suggest changing your route colour to something other than blue to prevent confusion with rivers.
arrivo dalla serie 60 che ho usato per 15 anni filati, ancora perfettamente funzionante e che mi ha dato mille soddisfazioni e questo modello è la sua naturale evoluzione tecnologica. Ha tutto quello che serve davvero, bussola a tre assi, antenna esterna e una struttura estremamente robusta e funzionale. Rispetto ai suoi antenati presenta un display più piccolo, scelta che non condivido affatto ma immagino volta ad un maggiore risparmio energetico o forse per ricordarci che chi naviga sul serio ha sempre al seguito carta e bussola e il gps dovrebbe essere solo un ausilio quindi il display contenuto basta e avanza.
l'antenna esterna non è certo bella, il modello è sicuramente meno accattivante rispetto a quelli touch da fashion style che si vedono messi belli in mostra dagli escursionisti della domenica tuttavia, per esperienza personale, posso asserire che in condizioni difficili guadagni due o tre satelliti di ricezione in più e in certe situazioni possono fare la differenza.
L'interfaccia utente é adatta a varie tipologie di utilizzo, semplice per il cacciatore che vuole solo ritrovare la propria auto dopo la battuta di caccia e avanzata per chi vuole inserire tracce,mappe,rotte e chi più ne ha più ne metta.
In sintesi un modello tosto che ha tutto quello che serve, per un utente che cerca robustezza e concretezza senza tanti fronzoli.
