Thanks for the update. My 67i is a big improvement on my 66, its a lot faster response time and a better experience. How do you organise your routes on a pc, do you use Basecamp?

Yes if using a computer even if our routes were not created in Basecamp we generally import them into Basecamp and have folders within the my collection of Basecamp software with all of our Routes stored, hope this helps, we have lots of videos on our Online Training resource on basecamp, with a purchase of a GPS device from us access to all the training videos is included or we have more support options here - gpstraining.co.uk/collections/gps-support-packages

One thing I noticed is that it performs poorly in a forest. It wasn’t even all that overgrown . Every time I had a clear view, I was standing still but the map was moving as if to recoordinate. I’m pretty sure that my previous gpsmap 66st did better. You may want to give it a try and comapre it to a different gps unit.

When standing still with this type of Garmin with the default auto compass setting, it is not the GPS signal that aligns or moves the map orientation but the electronic compass , once you start moving over approx 2.5mph it is then the satellite signal that aligns the map orientation. I would re-calibrate the electronic compass by pressing the menu button once whilst on the compass screen and selecting calibrate compass and follow on screen instructions. Potentially a very weak GPS signal could make the device think that you are moving but I have not seen a GPS signal drop that low in the outdoors to make this device show me moving over 2.5mph. You could next time you are in a similar location add a current speed field to a databox and see if it shows you moving around a speed of over 2.5mph, hope this helps, also for a stronger satellite lock make sure in setup - system you have multi gnss and multi band duel frequency both turned on 🙂

Compared this to my phone, and found that my phone (also dual-band) performs just as good as GPSMAP 67i, and sometimes better, in terms of positioning accuracy.

@@cyclenorthumberland Satelite System was GPS only and Multi-band off. I can’t imagine that’s the default setting, which leads me to the conclusion I messed up severely. LOL Sometimes I go a bit wild testing stuff and then forgetting about putting it back to previous values. Good thing it still worked okay outside those woods! Thanks for the info.

@@gsf1200s There’s a vid on KZfaq testing that theory, by walking a track with three different devices and then checking the recorded trail. The phone didn’t do as well as the gpsmap. Also, there are several other reasons why you might prefer the gpsmap 67i. Phone is simply not an option in terms of reliability, battery life, control in bad weather conditions. When you’re out in the hills or some offroad “middle of nowhere” track, I wouldn’t even think of using just a phone.
