The device itself is good and works great. The map package is completely useless because it does not know how to route and does not know Finnish addresses.
Maps and routing are available free of charge here http://garmin.openstreetmap.nl and terrain map https://kartat.hylly.org/

Meet expectations, immediately find satellites accurately. 16GB of internal memory enough for numerous large maps and more if necessary for a memory card.
The new power saving mode works for a long time when I tried it, a week on the windowsill saving its location and still 1/4 of the NiMH batteries left.
When the device arrived, the terrain map of Finland on the memory card was not immediately recognized because the img file was at the root of the card, the / Garmin subdirectory must be created for the map file and moved there, after which the terrain map was displayed.

Garmin's off-road gps 6x series is but the best. Even a long trip works because they are suitable for standard AA batteries.
My previous model was the 62s and now there was finally an improvement in its screen size. Likewise, connectivity is much better due to wlan, bluetooth, etc.
I would have expected a greater improvement in processor power. Zooming sometimes takes a long time.
The power button has moved to a bad location on top of the device. It can no longer be triggered with one hand (thumb) to save power.
Good thing those European maps came with it. The previous model included only an unusable map of the whole world which was seen with approximately the accuracy of the country.
The whole Terrain Map of Finland is ok to be included. Many probably don't know how to download it themselves. That's a little mistake when it came to the memory card. The map material must be in a folder named Garmin or it will not be read by gps. Many may wonder why it is not found when you put the card inside.
Overall, finally a bigger improvement after the 60 models. The intermediate models did not change much.

The two Garmin terrain GPS already existed (GPSMAP 60C and Colorado 300) and have served well for years in heavy use. Again came the need for new terrain GPS and I ended up with this new Garmin. Now after a couple of weeks of use it works well and at least for myself the return to the model used with the buttons at the bottom of the device was a pleasure. The touch screens are good but they are not suitable for everything and in cold, rain, etc. they just don't work but then this kind of button operated which can also be worn with gloves in hand is awesome. There are so many features here that I haven’t been familiar with much of it yet and hardly ever. Still, I can already recommend this novelty if the search includes a device that needs to be able to be used in both off-road conditions.
