![]() You can use the 66i without the Inreach capability. In other words, if you use it twice a year for treks in two different months where you want the Inreach capability, the cost would be the yearly cost + monthly + monthly, so not the end of the world I use the 40€ one as you can send a tracking position every 10 minutes free of charge, so that my wife and a friend can always see where I am. The monthly plans can be suspended when not being needed. The cheapest starting from around 20, 40 or 75 per month. A per month subscription, (three different plans to choose from concerning the monthly subscription). It can be bought and used only when you are out and about. This plan is not obligatoire but needed for the Inreach option. Over 500 euros plus the cost of the Inreach ‘plan’. My last three treks, I have seen places with no network. Of course if I had hurt myself, fallen down, broken a bone etc, well then that would have been a real problem.

Inreach means that the device is capable of calling for help (‘calling’ not vocal like a telephone. Basically the same as the 64s, with most of my gripes with the 64s corrected. This year 2020 I bought the Garmin Inreach 66i model. even if it did get better with updates after a rather long wait. Why ? A while back in 2017 I wrote about the Garmin 64s that I had but wasn’t really happy about some of the workings on it. The battery is still 3/4 full after being on for more than 9 hours Bye bye the 64S.
