Garmin GPSMAP 66s/66st - Rugged, Button-Operated Multi-GNSS Handheld

The Garmin GPSMAP 66s and GPSMAP 66st Mutlisatellite handhelds bring expanded wireless connectivity, weather forecasting, a larger 3-inch sunlight-readable color display, and direct-to-device access to satellite imagery. Garmin provides you with double the internal memory, added connectivity, and beefs up the frame to military specifications for thermal and shock resistance. On the "t" models of each, you get included preloaded topographic maps. You'll love the GPSMAP 66 series for its functionality and ruggedness, and for even more.

The Garmin GPSMAP 66s and 66st have excellent reception for a number of reasons. The actual construction of the antenna is a quad-helix design, which is quite sensitive, and better than some other designs in tree cover or low satellite angles. The 66st also uses three different satellite systems; GPS (North America), Galileo (EU), and GLONASS (Russia) allowing the most amount of satellites for triangulation making this a really accurate unit.

In the field, the 66st lives up to its reputation. When mapping old mountain biking trails, you will be able to leave and easily pick up the trail again, rather than being forever lost! The GPSMAP 66s/66st is one of the easiest units to use straight from the get-go. All the buttons are large and have easy to read labels on each one. Unlike some of the other units, the buttons on Garmin 66s & 66st Multi-satellite Handheld units are pretty straightforward and there are enough of them for each to have a distinct function in a particular setting.
