[QUOTE="Aug, post: 640534, member: 22805"] I have a GPSMap 66i and love it. It's not fun to type on due to the lack of a touch screen or QWERTY-style keyboard, but I've never had issues with satellite connection or messaging. It has the superior Garmin software (instead of the whatever software inReach initially used before being bought by Garmin). It feels a bit retro but works really well. My only beef with it is the plastic screen, I've got a lot of scratches and dings on it. Looks like there is a screen protector available in Australia now but at the time I got it you had to import one from Germany (ridiculous I know). I guess I'd prefer to have a user-replaceable battery as well - not sure what I'll do when the battery dies eventually. [/QUOTE]
