I would defiantly add to previous comments that I too wish GPS Inc. would simplify their instructions the same way you did. Not having simple instructions from GPS I too wanted to get rid of my device but now can't wait to try it out as soon as our real spring weather arrives in Ontario Canada...hopefully within couple of weeks. I, as a senior citizen (70) would highly encourage other seniors who may be struggling to understand basic steps to watch Harry's video. Well done Harry...!!
Love this. Easily THE BEST GPS intro video I've seen (and I've been looking at a lot of 'em). In essence, the first of three installments ("GPS For Beginners" episodes #2 & #3 are also excellent) of Step-by-Step Procedures for the Compleat Idiot. After watching these, I no longer want to throw my Garmin GPS out the window, but instead rush outdoors & go hiking with it. Thanks Dirty Harry000!
Thanks a million, Harry. Just what I needed. Why Garmin doesn't have this sort of basic orientation in their product manuals or website is beyond me. They just assume everyone already knows this entry level stuff and are likely missing sales because of it!
Sir thank you for this video !! I bought a 64st a while back and to be honest I don't know how to use the damn thing !! This video was fantastic (now I am learning something) I would be very grateful for anymore vids on this 64st I want to put all my trails for gold panning on it Thank you very much in advance
I bought a gps a while back but never used it because the manual was impossible to follow. Basically you had to already know how to use a gps BEFORE reading the manual! This video was very helpful. I can now use my gps at least for basic hiking. Thank you Dirty!
First video I've seen in a dozen or so, that actually SHOWS me how to get back to my starting point. The main reason I want a GPS! Thank you for a very clear and understandable instruction!
Hey mate, i hunt loads and have avoided gps’s as they all seem to be very confusing when you read the manual. Love the video and im now off out to buy one👍 thanks mate👍🇦🇺
Garmin is such an awful product. I couldnt understand when the salesmen kept telling me that they buy every competitor and then shut it down. I find my cell phone gps more reliable, easier to use and a much better battery life. dont buy one, save your money
Best damn video I have seen! Kept it clear and simple for guys who aren't good with technology. This will be a game changer for hunt season and exploring new areas. Thank you so much,
FANTASTIC. SIMPLE 2 EASY. Just bought a Magellan 310 (on sale). Wish I bought a Garmin instead. Looks VERY EASY to use. Not like the 310. BUMMER! Thanks. (Melb. Vic.)
Thank u for the information, I really want to learn,will continue to check ur videos,but am trying to get my own GPS so I can become acquainted with it
hey, Dirty Harry ! i have a friend here in colorado, whose nickname is "Dirty", lol. many thanks for your excellent video - i could follow & understand it - i took notes. i have the garmin 60 CSx and it confused me with all the settings like navigate by road, by north at top or bottom and on and on . maybe i should put the settings back to the factory default before doing your instructions....
Cheers mate for the video. New to these units and Garmin don"t make it easy for beginners. Have you got a video on how to download other maps on the unit? (topo etc). Thanks again.
@@DirtyHarry000 to make matters worse... I am off travelling and metal detecting at the moment.. I held my 64s in my hand before I left home and decided not to take it as I had taken it many times and never had any success, now I'm kicking myself....Sad. Thank you again.
No you are not stupid! Far from it, some things are a little harder to grasp than others. I bet you will be as proficient as me with a little practice.
Great video. Let’s say that I have gps location for an object that was given to me by someone, how do I create a waypoint on the gps and go to find it?
I go to places where GPS radio reception can be almost non-existent on a smartphone, and it will absolutely kill the phone's battery when the GPS is struggling. Don't get me wrong the GPS radios on phones are generally pretty good, but a standalone device with an external antenna will find more signal which can keep you from getting lost in the middle of nowhere. It happened to me, and I now have a standalone device because I would prefer to never have that happen again. Outside of that there isn't much use for it.
Mate, watching this by an Aussie make one hell of a difference. No crap along the way. Right can I ask you if this particular one have a camera inbuilt or otherwise to it. It makes no real difference as I will connect it with my phone when I get it. And then the questions will come.
Hi there great video, I just got me a old one like your GPSmap 60cs. When I go to hook it up to base-camp on the compute. It says can't find it.. Can you help with this as I'm a dummie with this stuff....
Hi I bought the garmin gpsmap 66st I can use route tracks and that but I can’t get it to follow the track I press to go but still won’t follow my route have I some setting not set up right. I would really your help many thanks Sophie
Does this GPS unit allow to switch between the formats in which the coordinates are presented? Like between UTM and WGS84? So I could see my coordinates in a format as (for example): 40.71280, 74.00590? Thanks!
Brilliant video, so basic but so informative! Can’t believe what I’ve learned from a few mins of your time! Thank you 🙏
Well presented. Thank you for the easy to understand and straightforward instructions. Best Garmin GPS video I've seen to date.

Finally, someone that makes sense of gps!
Thanks

First video I've seen in a dozen or so, that actually SHOWS me how to get back to my starting point. The main reason I want a GPS! Thank you for a very clear and understandable instruction!
Haven't found a reviewer yet who actually shows "real time" OUTDOOR results...which is what we newbies need!

Thank you for this video. You gave the exact info that I have searched hours for, the basic find your way back (how to}. Yes, for dummies....
Thanks Harry I use my eTrex 30 a lot and this was helpful to show me a few things. The UTM thing was what I did not understand thanks.
Thanks, watching from Kenya 🇰🇪.
This is great work
Thanks you have made this so much easier to pick up how to work it.
your video is way better than the Garmin DVD on how to operate your gps! I fell asleep during that dvd! lol
Very informative and well presented, clear and concise...
Glad I came across this. Thank you..
Perfect! Exactly what I needed to know.
Hey Mate, I've kept an arms length from GPS's. Not now, what a great run down. Looking forward to more vids. Cheers!
FANTASTIC. SIMPLE 2 EASY.

Awesome! Thank you for sharing.
Very good video, thank you!
Finally i learned something, thank you.

hey, Dirty Harry ! i have a friend here in colorado, whose nickname is "Dirty", lol. many thanks for your excellent video - i could follow & understand it - i took notes. i have the garmin 60 CSx and it confused me with all the settings like navigate by road, by north at top or bottom and on and on . maybe i should put the settings back to the factory default before doing your instructions....
Is this GPS bugdope safe? My old one the rubber cover melted off.
Nice work
Cheers mate for the video. New to these units and Garmin don"t make it easy for beginners. Have you got a video on how to download other maps on the unit? (topo etc).
Thanks again.
Great video. You can download free OSM topo maps and look like a street map with so much more detail
thanks mate ... very helpful
Wow thanks for the fantastic tutorial
Thank you .... I had considered giving up on mine, now I will be able to use it.
Never give up!
@@DirtyHarry000 to make matters worse... I am off travelling and metal detecting at the moment.. I held my 64s in my hand before I left home and decided not to take it as I had taken it many times and never had any success, now I'm kicking myself....Sad. Thank you again.
Best video I really learn a whole lot
Good job on the video. Thank you.
Well done. Thank you!
Thanks for the video 👍🏻
GREAT video!!!!! Thanks!!!!!
Best video sir. Thsanks!
Explanation for idiots. It’s like you made this video just for me and knew I was stupid. Thank you so much lol!!!
No you are not stupid! Far from it, some things are a little harder to grasp than others. I bet you will be as proficient as me with a little practice.
How do you use tracks?
Simply put, thank you.
Great video. Let’s say that I have gps location for an object that was given to me by someone, how do I create a waypoint on the gps and go to find it?
How to setting my gpsmap64s.. I lost river everything lost.. Can u help me..
great demonstration explained easy
Thanks from Alaska :)
hello, nice video, how you start recording a new route?
Thank you!
How about searching border stone. Is it 64s can?
Great video #👏👏👏👏👍👍
Love this video. Just one question. Could all what you do on a handheld GPS be done on a normal £200-300 smartphone that has built-in GPS?
Smart phone GPS requires phone coverage where as the hand held GPS does not
I stand corrected. Thanks for the heads up!
I go to places where GPS radio reception can be almost non-existent on a smartphone, and it will absolutely kill the phone's battery when the GPS is struggling. Don't get me wrong the GPS radios on phones are generally pretty good, but a standalone device with an external antenna will find more signal which can keep you from getting lost in the middle of nowhere.

Outside of that there isn't much use for it.
Hi Dirty Harry, great vid!

Great video Mr. Harry000

The model I was showing didn't have a camera!

Have you tried Garmin Map Source? It's free.
Great. Thank you.
