Product Information

GPSMAP 67 Device

The GPSMAP 67 device is a handheld GPS navigator that provides accurate location tracking and navigation information. It can acquire signals from multiple satellite systems, including GPS, GLONASS, GALILEO, and multi-band systems. The device comes with a flashlight and a mounting spine for easy attachment to backpacks or other gear. It also features a USB charging port, weather cap, GNSS antenna, status LED, and power button.

Product Usage Instructions

Before using the device, read the Important Safety and Product Information guide found in the product box.
To charge the device, follow these steps:
- Lift the weather cap to access the USB port.
- Plug the small end of the power cable into the charging port on the device.
- Plug the other end of the power cable into a compatible AC power adapter.
- Plug the AC power adapter into a standard wall outlet.
- The device will display the current battery charge level.
To turn on the device, press and hold the power button.
The device has several buttons with different functions:
- Select: opens the search menu; saves your location as a waypoint; cancels or returns to the previous menu or page; scrolls through the main pages.
- Find: opens the search menu.
- Mark: marks your current location as a man overboard (MOB) location and activates navigation.
- Quit: cancels or returns to the previous menu or page.
- Enter: selects options and acknowledges messages; controls the current activity recording (from the Map, Compass, Altimeter, and Trip Computer pages).
- Menu: opens the options menu for the page that is currentlyopen; opens the main menu (from any page) when selected twice.
- Arrow keys: select menu options and move the map cursor.
- Zoom in: zooms in on the map.
- Zoom out: zooms out on the map.
To adjust the backlight, select the status page and use the arrow keys to adjust the brightness.
To acquire satellite signals, follow these steps:
- Go outdoors to an open area.
- If necessary, turn on the device.
- Wait while the device searches for satellites.
- The device will flash while it determines your location.
- The status bar will show the satellite signal strength.
- When the device acquires satellite signals, it will automatically start recording your path as an activity.
Using GPS and another satellite system together can improve performance in challenging environments and faster position acquisition than using GPS only. However, using multiple systems can reduce battery life more quickly than using GPS only.

GPS and Other Satellite Systems

Using GPS and another satellite system together offers increased performance in challenging environments and faster position acquisition than using GPS only. However, using multiple systems can reduce battery life more quickly than using GPS only.

Your device can use these Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS). Multi- band systems use multiple frequency bands and allow for more consistent track logs, improved positioning, improved multi-path errors, and fewer atmospheric errors when using the device in challenging environments.

GPS: A satellite constellation built by the United States.
GPS multi-band: A satellite constellation built by the United States, using the enhanced L5 signal.
GLONASS: A satellite constellation built by Russia.
GALILEO: A satellite constellation built by the European Space Agency.
GALILEO multi-band: A satellite constellation built by the European Space Agency, using the enhanced L5 signal.
QZSS multi-band: A satellite constellation built by Japan, using the enhanced L5 signal.
IRNSS (NavIC): A satellite constellation built by India, using the enhanced L5 signal.

Turning On Expedition Mode

You can use expedition mode to prolong the battery life. In expedition mode, the screen shuts off, the device enters low power mode, and the device collects fewer GPS track points.

Select Setup > Expedition Mode.
Select an option:
- To enable the device to prompt you to turn on expedition mode when you turn off the device, select Prompted.
- To automatically turn on expedition mode after two minutes of inactivity, select Auto.
