Best video on the 86 on the whole internet. Just bought an 86sci today
Glad you found it useful, enjoy your new GPS.
Looks perfect for kayak touring in the keys.
Great video, tks
Thanks for the review. I was definitely interested in in the 66i but Im thinking of getting best of both worlds with the 86i. Are the features ( on land) maps ect the same as the 66i. Thanks in advanced. Cheers Australia
Nice video. I believe the 86 can record the raw data, is that correct? Do you have any experience of using the data with the RTKLIB program to improve the accuracy? I’m wondering if when combined I could get the accuracy down to cm accuracy.
Thanks
Sadly i don't have any working knowledge of the RTKLIB programme. This unit produces a .gpx or .fit file, as long as the programme enables you to import that you will be all good.
Hye, wanted to know.. is 86i good for road navigation.. as i wanted to buy 1 for my fishing boat, and also wanted to use them for my cross country motorcycle riding.. hope can help clear things out, can't find any on internet
I personally would go for the Montana 700i if you are looking for a multi activity GPS unit, as this comes pre installed with city navigator. Garmin's Car SatNav system, made for motorcycling. I hope this helps.
What is the battery life like? Are batteries removable? I use a garmin gps for work doing bush work and have an inreach for safety. It would be GREAT to have a single unit, but no battery can last -25-35 Celsius.
Many thanks for your question. The 86i will give you 25 hours of battery life, to extend it beyond this you can't swap it so you will need a power bank.
I hope this helps.
I just bought a 86i second hand and I’m wondering how I can program topo maps onto it. Are aware or anyway this can be done. Thanks!
If you are wanting to put Garmin YOPO ACTIVE maps on your unit you can purchase these directly from Garmin - www.garmin.com/en-GB/p/586905/pn/010-D1566-00 - if you are wanting TOPO PRO which country are you after? I look forward to hearing from you.
@@ukgpstraining sorry for the late reply, I’m in Canada.
Does this does auto routing on the water? Starting Point and destination and give the best route to follow. Like Navionic App. Thanks.
Apologies we have not tested this on water, with maps for the road you can do this for cycling etc, I would recommend checking with Garmin to see if any of their marine chart maps that they sell which are compatible with the 86i would allow for this, we have just been using the unit for Hiking & Cycling, Kind regards
Which one is better this unit or the Garmin Inreach +. I got the Inreach + for our son who hikes in spots in California where there are no cell towers. Now getting one for our daughter who will do the same situation but in the Colorado Rockies.
Here is a more up to date review looking at the options you have, I hope it helps - th-cam.com/video/eZHafftcvDQ/w-d-xo.htmlsi=UoJ9Bw250Ag71kE7
Have you heard if there is a chance Garmin will update the 86i to say an 87i soon just like the 66i to 67 i ?
Sadly not heard anything about an update, but you have to think it has to come.
Can this unit read the “hi def relief shading” from the G3 Vision Charts (micro sd)?
Sadly we have not tested what you are asking but Garmin do say the G3 Vision Charts are compatible with the 86i so I assume so. Are you in the UK and do you have the map card in question? If so we can test it for you in our unit if that helps.
@@ukgpstraining I’m in the states, I haven’t found yet where the 86i is compatible with vision charters, just regular G3 blue charts is all I’ve seen. Learning that it can handle the G3 vision is a big help, thx!
Thanks for the Video. Is it possible to use it also as normal navigation Device, so search for an Address like on Car Navigation and then get a route calculated and will it show turn left / right Infos? For Marine ussage, or Hiking, do I need a different Map to buy? Can I choose, if I want to get nevigation on hikik tracks or water (for Marine ussage)? Thanks
Thanks for the message, the device is not really designed for car navigation due to the size of the screen and no voice alerts, but it is compatible with Gamin City Navigator maps which do allow postcode searches in Great Britain where we are based and have tested this function, you can with the city navigator maps route on roads and get turn left turn right instructions, Garmin also sell a range of maps suitable for marine use that are compatible we have not used these before ourselves, Kind regards GPS Training
hi just get Garmin Gpsmap 86i and when try register inReach, Services I'm live in uk London and everything registered in uk but explore app getted in swiss and now can't register because show billing address in swiss and not allow to change to UK.how to do?
I would give Garmin a call - 0808 238 0000, they will get you sorted.
Do you have to pay to download the satellite images? How well does it work for hiking?
You can download satellite images directly onto the unit using wifi for free.
If you also download to PC/ Mac and then transfer to GPS you will pay. This GPS is meant more for on the water but can be used on the land, if being used for solely hiking the 67 is a better option - th-cam.com/video/KlI64gT1Cjs/w-d-xo.htmlsi=OOtsBIflmq9a4g4S
Como compra e trazer pro Brasil
I cannot get the text message function to work thru the app when connected to the 86i. Not sure why yet but it’s upsetting.
I am guessing you are trying to message using the Explore app, if so I would unpair your phone from the GPS and repair it and see if taht sorts it. Make sure you also have the connect app closed down as this may be causing problems.
If you bought the GPS from us or have one of our support packages please do give us a call and our tech team will get your sorted.
Bough this device for personal Use but I can’t seem to be able to send text messages back, I mean everytime I do so I do so, from my Cell Phone, I do receive the error message: Not Delivered. Please can you guys help me to get text messages back to my inreach device?
I just don’t know if it’s somehow related to the fact of me, living in Africa or what.
Please help.
Paulo, I have not come across what you are experiencing. I would contact Garmin Africa and see if they can help you.
what is the difference between the 86i and 66i ?
The main differences are - 86i floats, therefore is slightly larger and it does not come pre loaded with Garmin’s TOPO Active maps that you get on the 66i.
I hope this helps.
@@ukgpstrainingis it possible to install apps from garmin on this device? there is a store for other garmin devices, I forgot the name
I thought the 86I was strictly for on the water?
Thanks for your questions. The 86i is for those who do both land and water activities. You may find this interesting (I do appreciate I am comparing the 86s in this) - gpstraining.co.uk/blogs/reviews/size-comparison-garmin-gpsmap66s-v-garmin-gpsmap86s
Looks like you’re in Corbridge?
We are based in Rothbury, Northumberland.
What is the 86i?
Many thanks for your question. The Garmin GPSMAP 86i is very similar to the Garmin GPSMAP 66i i.e. a top end outdoor GPS unit that has two way satellite communication, but the 86i is slightly larger and has buoyancy built into it. This may help - gpstraining.co.uk/blogs/reviews/size-comparison-garmin-gpsmap66s-v-garmin-gpsmap86s
No GLONASS on board :(
You are right, they have replaced it with the Iridium aerial so you can use the two way satellite communication.
What a waste of time and money!
Way overpriced, huge, clumsy and ridiculously fiddly menus !
Pure Stoneage technology level from A to B ...
Any modern mobil phone has better user interface and costs a third.
If Inreach safety is a priority, Mini could be a half way acceptable option...
Thanks for your thoughts on this unit, we totally understand that outdoor gps units are not for everyone, there are places for mobile phones.
Thats great if you have cell service. I work in Northern Canada in the bush and this unit has been a game changer.
@@brandongeldart8815 I agree. In spite of massive GSM coverage in all inhabited areas, there is a surprisingly high number of hiking trails here in Western Europe where cell phone navigation does not work for shorter or longer stretches.
I purchased one for our son who loves to hike and it still works just like it did like on day 1. His Garmin Inreaxh + is 6 years old and has lasted longer than any smart cell phones, I have ever had.. I have no regrets. Gonna purchase a second one for our adult daughter. She hikes in the sticks deep in Colorado Rockies where the cell phones don’t reach. I don’t buy Starbucks, I don’t eat out much and I only replace my smart cell phones every 5 yrs when y husband’s job gives him a new one. I get his hand me downs . I value Peace of mind.
