Garmin GPSMAP 65s, Button-Operated Handheld with Altimeter and Compass, Expanded Satellite Support and Multi-Band Technology, 2.6" Color Display

The Garmin GPSMAP 65s is a button-operated handheld device designed with features such as an altimeter and compass, an expanded satellite support system and multi-band technology, and a 2.6" colour display screen. This device is highly recommended for scientific fieldwork and exploration, and would work globally with its three GNSS systems (American, European, and Russian). The device has support for wireless connectivity through Bluetooth and ANT+ but does not include a camera or any external antenna jack. It also comes with an mgrs setting to set the position format, and the accuracy is less than 2m. The product is not WAAS-enabled, meaning the GPS is not corrected with a satellite-based system operated by the FAA. The 65s comes with custom maps, but reviewers recommend not to buy maps from Garmin, as free options like OpenStreetMap are readily available. In terms of accuracy, one reviewer mentioned that the device was a "huge waste of money" as it took a while for the position to update, and their cellphone was more accurate and faster than the GPSMAP 65s. Overall, for those seeking a quality GPS device and are willing to forgo touchscreens for button controls, the Garmin GPSMAP 65s is a great purchase.
