Overview Includes free Gold Support Package - GPS Training review on the Garmin GPSMAP 65s - the expert's view - The Garmin GPSMAP 65s is the updated version of the Garmin 64s. The case size is identical, but the Garmin GPSMAP 65s is a multi-band GPS unit, meaning it is one of the most accurate handheld GPS units on the market.You can also transfer routes directly onto the Garmin GPSMAP 65s using the explore app, therefore taking the PC/ Mac out of the equation. I personally think it is one of the best GPS units on the market, with the slightly smaller screen (compared to the 66s series) you get great battery life so ideal for the high-level four-season walker.
