Review on Kwmobile Case Garmin GPSMAP 64St Car Electronics & Accessories by Jnis Banders ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

The best I ever used, recommend it to everybody.

While traveling, I began to experience inconvenience with navigation on mobile devices (phone, tablet, car navigator). The battery dies quickly. Especially in big cities. A backpacker tour is planned Istanbul - Kuala Lumpur - Singapore - Thai. In megacities with Android navigation, the problem is poor (and in some places not at all) GPS / GLONASS coverage. Well, the battery. I thought to buy something simple, if only the track was written, but this model sunk (in 2022 I held a GPSMAP 62 in my hands). This is my first Garmin navigator, and in general - the first tourist. I slowly spent the day on studying the principles of installing cards, ating firmware, etc. The concept is fundamentally different from Navitel and OziExplorer. As a result, you will need two programs, there are no difficulties. There are "practically" no problems with pirated cards and you can always legally install an OSM card, of which there are a lot on the Internet. Coming in the set "Roads of 2022. RF. TOPO." pleased. Especially the presence of pits on the Volga and Akhtuba. At the time of the purchase, we had a herring, I chose on the navigator a place where the edge approaches the Volga bank as close as possible and in a couple of hours I took 30 pieces of excellent crease from the bank. It cannot be compared with the General Staff on Ozi, but it is very detailed and lays the route. On NiMH 2700mAh GP batteries (not new ones), the device honestly worked for 21 hours and 20 minutes. Unobtrusively reporting low battery began 3:20 before the shutdown. Amazing. Catching satellites. Everything is simple here. 5th floor of a 9-storey building. Toilet in the middle of the apartment. To the nearest outer wall 9 meters, plus interior walls. 11 satellites. Screen. Makes me happy in bright sunshine. I don’t know what the Americans have for technology, but in the mode when the screen does not glow at full power (it goes out automatically 15 seconds after pressing the buttons), everything is visible. At the same time, the more direct the sun's rays fall on the screen, the brighter the picture of the map. You can see absolutely EVERYTHING. Why they don't do this on mobile phones, I don't know. Of the accessories, I additionally bought a branded case (1320), a carabiner (990) and a Chinese holder on a suction cup in the car (2.84EUR). Branded stray can still be found at old prices in online stores. Everything is fully compatible with previous models of the 62 series.

Pros
  • Battery. Screen in bright sunlight. Preinstalled maps of 2022 with water bodies (depth maps).
Cons
  • The procedure for ating, installing additional cards (it will be difficult for pensioners to do this on their own).
