In today?s technologically ridden world, it seems that most people want to know the exact path that lies ahead. Whether you?re getting lost intentionally or unintentionally, metaphorically or literally, it?s a good idea to carry with you the Garmin GPS 64st. It won?t tell you how to get from point A to point B, but it will definitely show you where you are in the present moment. And perhaps, with the way technology seemingly takes us out of that present moment, this will inspire you to again appreciate where you are standing and not where your destination is.

There are so many features included in the 64st that if I tried to include them all, this write-up would quickly turn into a novel. Physically, the 64st is perfect for any adventure we may find ourselves on. It is comfortable in the hand, perfectly sized for a pack or jacket pocket, and encased in durable rubber. We are huge fans of buttons rather than a touch screen, as we can use it throughout all four seasons. The screen is a good size (2.6 inches) and easy to read in any type of light without distractions from glare.

Technologically speaking, the Garmin 64st is loaded with functional, fun, and user-friendly features that make for safe and amazing adventures. One of Tyson?s favorite features is the Smart Notification. Through Bluetooth connectivity (iPhone 4s or later), you can wirelessly receive text messages, emails, or phone call notifications from your phone on your GPS. This is huge when we are mountain biking or dirt biking. Instead of cluttering the handlebars with technology, the only thing that needs to be mounted is the GPS. We don?t really need to see text messages or phone calls when we are out enjoying the outdoors but for emergency situations, this is a really neat feature.

Among other things, the Garmin 64st comes preloaded with TOPO U.S. 100K maps and includes a one-year subscription to BirdsEye satellite imagery. Most people today are probably more accustomed to finding their way with satellite imagery rather than TOPO maps. ...
