  1. No indication what part of the process you are having problems with, but there is a lot of great info here.
  2. That's not how the Map Page Map Layer Menu works. You can add this map to a Custom Map Set then enable or disable individual map sets. The Popularity option shows a heat map of popular routes.
  3. Just picked up a couple of Magellan Trailblazer XL. Any one have a power cable for these units?
  4. FYI, the distance does count down property in the waypoint manager list.
  5. The website you don't like much has many examples of the eTrex SE recording a track log. Also, I wrote earlier about recording a track log on my eTrex SE at one second intervals.
  6. Yes, the GPX geocaches are intended for off-grid capability, and it is expected, with this model, most caching will be done via GC Live. Thank you for the link!
  7. GPSMAP 67 and eTrex SE Battery Tests Update posted above.
  8. @gpsblake How did you get maps onto the eTrex 10? The eTrex SE is pretty limited to onboard storage and geocache data. Only 25 GCLive geocaches can be loaded at any one time. And up to 250 via GPX. Do not let this dissuade you, however. I very much like my 'back to basics' eTrex SE and find it to be very pleasurable to use. It is a great affordable option for urban geocaching! All eTrex SE specs are available here.
  9. FYI, I am running a battery test on my GPSMAP 67 now, and after nearly 24 hours of use, I still have 85% battery remaining. I have the tracklog recording at one point per minute, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth are enabled, the electronic compass is enabled, and Multi-GNSS/Multi-Band are also both enabled. More results to follow. Update 01: GPSMAP 67 now has 72 hours of constant tracklog data recorded at one minute intervals, battery still has 51% remaining. I also decided to test the eTrex SE with a set of Amazon Basics AA Alkaline batteries. It is currently at 50 hours of tracklog data recorded at one point per second, and the battery icon still shows 4/4 bars! The display has been ON the entire time (not the backlight), and Multi-GNSS, Bluetooth and Electronic Compass are all enabled. More results to follow.
  10. Your statement below suggests exactly that.
  11. You can load any OSM based map to that device internal memory or external memory (micro SD card). There are MANY options. Here are a some suggestions taken from GPSrChive > How To... > Maps: I have marked my personal favorite that I load on all my Garmin devices.
  12. Sounds like your issue here is with Garmin, and your preconceived idea they are misleading the public with their published specs. Another of my favorite quotes: "A man convinced against his will is of the same opinion still!" Doesn't seem like you are even open to the idea that the published times could be correct. So have it your way.
  13. And it would be true. Every user experiences different battery run time based on how they use the device. As I stated earlier, I have a very good idea that the times published by Garmin are very accurate. My GPSMAP 67 has never been below 70% battery during the last 6 months. My eTrex SE has been using the same set of AA batteries for 6 months.
  14. You have two options, Multi-GNSS or GPS Only. One option uses all available GNSS constellations, the other option uses only GPS. Multi-Band is only available when Multi-GNSS is enabled, but it can be disabled.
  15. That already happens when the questions are specific, but general questions like "what are the differences" or "what makes one better than the other" will get mostly generalized responses.
  16. Only links from the 'store' page have those tags, and that information is made very clear on those pages. No links shared here have any 'tags'.
  17. Classic virtue signaling! You can go into a bar and ask the bartender how to rewire your house, and have a friendly conversation about it, but you can also go into a library where all the useful information is already organized and cataloged for you to find! This is how we learned new things before the age of an incredibly lazy generation that must be mouth fed absolutely everything! Again, nobody says you have to visit any websites you find offensive. All of the information is there for those willing to discover it. You can re-write the same book over and over as many times as you like, or you can read the one that is already written! We all have a personal choice to use one source or multiple sources to get the information we desire. I do not understand why some are so offended and threatened when alternate or additional options are presented. Make your choice. Let others make thiers. Move on.
  18. "Whhhaaaaaaaa!!!!!" You can wait as long as you like for individual repetitive questions to be answered here in basic detail, you do not have to visit a completely free zero advertising website with more than 20 gigabytes of free detailed information organized by subject and device. The choice is always yours!
  19. So you found that but missed everything else? The GPSMAP 67 press release accounts for less than 1% of all the information available there. You will have to exert a little more effort. Maybe click a link or two, see where that gets you. 🤔 "You can lead a camel to water...."
  20. All these questions, and many more, answered in detail at GPSrChive. Much like Elf, I know Santa! USB-C is clearly easy for all to see. The 66sr does not use BeiDou. The number of constellations used and accuracy are separate subjects.
  21. So far as I can tell, the battery had not changed. The electronics are far more efficient. The 66sr is a wonderful device, but the 67 is even nicer.
  22. Everyone uses these for different purposes. You can not get best results from any GPSr if you have the Map displayed constantly with the backlight at full power. My GPSMAP 67 have been connected to PC from time to time to load data etc. I have never connected them to power because the battery was getting too low. I have not performed any dedicated battery testing yet. I am not paid or employed by Garmin.
