    BRM for Garmin 66i

    So, I pulled the trigger on the 66i. I'm currently downloading the updates but seems like a solid unit. Already linked it to my phone etc.

    Now, I need the BackRoad Maps. Damn, they're expensive!

    I pay for the annual subscription on my phone.

    Worth every penny and then some.
    Nothing more important than a quality gps or compass in these mountains.

    Love my 66i with the Backroads maps. Having birdseye satelite imagery is icing on the cake

    Why did you go with a dedicated GPS instead of an app on your phone?

    Edit: I looked it up and realize now it has the InReach.

    I quit my whining and pulled the trigger.

    I'll have the maps later this week.

    Anyone who chooses an app on an unreliable mobile phone over a dedicated gps or compass is either cheap, poor or crazy.
