Extra Credit XXXVIII “GPS, Part III” (Garmin GPSMap 67i Review)

Extra Credit is video series that examines topics related to history in the Thunder Bay District and exploring that history.

In past episodes we have examined the use GPS in historical explorations and investigations. Recently I acquired a new GPS unit, a Garmin GPSMap 67i. In this third episode in the sub-series, I break down this latest offering from Garmin and how it differs from my old GPS, both good and bad. The technology has improved greatly over the years and I am really enjoying this new handheld.

Enjoy!

Extra Credit IX “GPS”

Extra Credit is video series that examines topics related to history in the Thunder Bay District and exploring that history.

The Global Positioning System has revolutionized many areas, including history and hiking. My experience with GPS dates back over 20 years and first started as a school curriculum requirement. Join me as I talk about my GPS receiver and head outdoors along the former Kinghorn rail line for the first ever field segment of Extra Credit.

*The current comparable Garmin model is the eTrex 32x.
