Explore confidently with
premium GPSMAP 67 and 67i
The all-new GPSMAP 67 Series includes a pair of button-operated
handhelds built tough for any adventure with a 3” sunlight-readable
color display. Both are powered by internal lithium-ion batteries
for extended life, boasting up to 180 hours in standard mode and up

Both models allow users to access
preloaded TopoActive mapping from Garmin, view satellite imagery and

Adventurers can also download premium maps
with an Outdoor Maps+ subscription, which had previously only been

their altitude and air pressure when exploring at elevation.

technology, the GPSMAP 67i enables two-way messaging and location
tracking via the 100% global Iridium satellite network. Users can
trigger an interactive SOS to Garmin Response, a 24/7 staffed
professional emergency coordination center, that can communicate
with the user in addition to notifying the applicable search and
rescue organization or other resources. Garmin Response will provide
updates on the status of the response effort. Garmin Response will
continue to monitor the incident until it is resolved.
