Outstanding overview. As others note below, you cover the points step by step with use cases for each. Very practical, and done in a conversational tone. I learned more with this that over 10-15 other videos. Thanks for putting this together!
Thank's Mitch for your video. There are quite a few Garmin64s video tutorials on TH-cam I've watched and yours is by far the best. The slow methodical explanation and camera angle showing exactly the sequences to follow are really clear and helpful. Thank you for taking the time...
What a famous name Scheuermann in the medical profession. Scheuermann's diseases is a spinal illness. However, this person explaining the Garmin is experienced and I give a thumbs up for this documentary. Well done and good explained.
I finally discovered what happens with recycled rubber tires. GARMIN must use it for their "keyboards" - terrible keyboards. Thank goodness for aftermarket suppliers for doing what GARMIN should have done for software in the first place. You mentioned "WATERPROOFING". The same design has been used for GARMIN when it comes to SD card storage. THROUGH A HOLE, UNDER the BATTERY COMPARTMENT. Not the brightest design. The liquid from a corroding battery can, if your unit is resting on it's face, run down through the hole AND CORRODE THE PCB. Our company always seals the hole with DUCT TAPE to prevent corrosion.
Hi Mitch; Thanks for the video. I was a bit Shocked because i’m just down the road in Beaverlodge. I’ve had my 64s for a couple of years and I confess never spent the time to really explore alloy’s capabilities. For me it’s hunting and woodlot management so lots of tracks and points. You might touch on this further on on the voids but the issue of computer interface and mapping has always been a problem for me Pete
I "upgraded" from my 60csx. It was light years ahead of my 64st. It is so difficult to use that I just use my iPhone and the geocaching app to go geocaching.
Hit the "Find" button and then go to tracks. It will give you the option of cancelling current/active tracks so it won't start tracking again until you go back in and turn it on...
Super important ALWAYS CALIBRATE you compass before you set off on your hike etc and before you put in your first waypoint. DO NOT DO THIS AT HOME BUT WHEN YOU GET THERE.
Would you say this 64s unit is still decent for hiking? I would use different maps and custom waypoints. I was thinking about picking up this one or the etrex 30x. I also found a cheap 60csx locally.
This is going to sound like a daft question to some folk. When you go into marine and you go to set alarm for off route it commes up 0.000000 so for example if you want it set to 10 metres or equivalent in feet would it be 10.0000 or would it be 0.00010... Would appreciate any advice ... thanks
No matter what one’s opinion of the Garmin 64 is, the fact is, it’s completely archaic and annoying to use! It’s like using something it was designed in 1999 with the added benefit of a color screen. But that’s always been Garmins motto ya know selling subpar, mediocre devices and technology for a premium price! I really wish another company would step up and compete with them, it wouldn’t be hard to make better more reliable products that has a better operating system.
WAAS will improve your position accuracy, but is only effective within North America. I would recommend leaving it on to benefit from it if you are in North America.
I have one for almost 3 years and I never use it because I don’t understand at all , I have no map in it at all . And I am in a different country now :( Please help me

Can we all take a minute to appreciate that this man practically doxxed himself for us? Thank you Mitch.

I’m a commercial pilot and track up is how we were taught to navigate especially when we first started out with paper maps and no gps
Thank you so much, just bought mine today and slowly getting my head around it, this is really helping
Mate by far the most simple tutorial for people with small brains! just set up my 65s with this video thanks from the top end Australia.
This is the best tutorial on these gps units. Thank you
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge in this easy to understand video-- it's helped me to use my Garmin effectively.

Hi Mitch;
Thanks for the video. I was a bit
Shocked because i’m just down the road in Beaverlodge. I’ve had my 64s for a couple of years and I confess never spent the time to really explore alloy’s capabilities. For me it’s hunting and woodlot management so lots of tracks and points.

Thank you for sharing. Easy to follow and helpful presentation.
Fantastic...very comprehensive
I "upgraded" from my 60csx. It was light years ahead of my 64st. It is so difficult to use that I just use my iPhone and the geocaching app to go geocaching.

Can this device be used to send a SOS signal or pair with an iPhone for texting? Thanks for your expertise.
When does the red arrow show on the compass? Thank you for the great video
Red arrow show up indicating direction to a Waypoint.
When no Waypoint was selected, the red arrow is not shown.
Super important ALWAYS CALIBRATE you compass before you set off on your hike etc and before you put in your first waypoint. DO NOT DO THIS AT HOME BUT WHEN YOU GET THERE.
Amazing video man, thank you.
Thank you, this helped me today for my research project 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
This GPS is IPX 7 (30 minutes at 1 meter)
Is 64S is decent tool have or other that have better performance and value. Or where can I get this ? Advise is appreciate
Would you say this 64s unit is still decent for hiking? I would use different maps and custom waypoints.
I was thinking about picking up this one or the etrex 30x.
I also found a cheap 60csx locally.
Thanks for all the great easy to understand info!
Hi sir what is the nearesr accuracy of this garmin 65s thank you
Sir garmin 60cxs is 2 meters accuracy to the point what about garmin 65s?...thak you
Want to use gps for hiking were there a lot of trails with forks in them if use this will it show my paths to get back like a line to follow back
Yes. They are called “tracks.” Save your tracks at the end of the hike and just follow them back.
Really helpful information. Thanks a lot!
To improve "waterproofing" coat all rubber seals (battery & external connector cover) with SILICONE GREASE (NOT glue),
This is going to sound like a daft question to some folk.
When you go into marine and you go to set alarm for off route it commes up 0.000000 so for example if you want it set to 10 metres or equivalent in feet would it be 10.0000 or would it be 0.00010...
Would appreciate any advice ... thanks
Thank you so much! You were very helpful.
Thank you so much. Excellent explanation
Can you change from meters to miles
Thanks for the video 👍🏻
I want to use the 64s to hike the AT thru the smoky mountains. Can you load that map to a 64s ?
Thanks for your video.
Can you send a message to someone using a 64s ?

hi Mitch should WAAS be on or off,
WAAS will improve your position accuracy, but is only effective within North America. I would recommend leaving it on to benefit from it if you are in North America.
@@mitchscheuerman6483 thanks Mitch
A+, thank you!
great i just tried to delete a waypoint and deleted them all. I had these saved for years and now I am screwed.
I have never owned a GPS unit nor used one. Someone has one on eBay that is brand new for $250. It’s the GARMIN 62s. Is that a good price ?
way overpriced.
How can solve the cadastral map of village
I have one for almost 3 years and I never use it because I don’t understand at all , I have no map in it at all .
