Best video on the 86 on the whole internet. Just bought an 86sci today

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

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.

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 ?

Looks perfect for kayak touring in the keys.

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.

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

Hey I just got this, is there a way you can connect the navionics app to this device for a more detailed map? Thankyou

[LifeOfMikey]

what is the difference between the 86i and 66i ?

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!

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

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.

Does this does auto routing on the water? Starting Point and destination and give the best route to follow. Like Navionic App. Thanks.

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.

[tvbox]

Do you have to pay to download the satellite images? How well does it work for hiking?

[jaredwhite]

I thought the 86I was strictly for on the water?

[KneeDeepExpeditions]

Can this unit read the “hi def relief shading” from the G3 Vision Charts (micro sd)?

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...
