+gpsblake Posted July 28, 2022 Share Posted July 28, 2022 About ready to replace my GPSr, not so much for geocaching, but for bike riding and some light kayaking but it has to be able to geocache. The GPSMAP 79s, an upgrade to the 78 and 76 series appears to be my choice, plus it's $50 cheaper than the GPSMAP 64s. And they finally go the buttons in the right position on that series. My only question, is the firmware the same as the 64, 65 or 66? I know for example the GPSMAP 78 was the same firmware as the GPSMAP 62. Anyone ever use it? Quote Link to comment
+MaliBooBoo Posted July 28, 2022 Share Posted July 28, 2022 Be aware that this is worth paying all the extra dollars: Multi-band technology and expanded GNSS support (GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, QZSS and IRNSS) provide optimal accuracy in steep country, urban canyons and forests with dense trees. GPSMap 66sr. The best GPS that I have ever owned (and there has been many). 1 Quote Link to comment
+Atlas Cached Posted July 28, 2022 Share Posted July 28, 2022 Do not know anyone with one of these yet, really looking forward to hearing real users opinions! Quote Link to comment
+BAMBOOZLE Posted August 22, 2022 Share Posted August 22, 2022 Actually as a long time 60 series user I find the buttons on the 78 way better. Does this have a quad ant.,.......it appears to. It appears to have the same hard case as the 78 and not the horrible rubberized overlay found on 60 series that would fall to pieces. Quote Link to comment
