Accurate, fast fix, WATERPROOF
I am a kayaker. I love the 64st! I use it with a Bluechart G2 card. The 100K TOPO basemap is perfect for identifying terrain from the water
This Garmin GPS is a more mature successor to the GPSMAP 60CSX, which I've owned for years. It maintains the same great shape and feel - fits perfectly in the hand - and attaches easily to my kayak. I have "dunked" my phone once when launching my kayak, so I stopped using it for gps. My phone now goes into a waterproof bag, for use in emergency and the Garmin is my perfect navigator.
If I keep my iPhone turned on, I can automatically send my position (at intervals) via Garmin's iOS app, GPS Connect, to family, friends. If necessary they could find me in an emergency on solo kayak trips - as long as the phone is within cell phone range.
With a subscription, (~$30/yr) free for the first year, Birdseye feature allows you to download satellite imagery - similar to google maps - to see your position on actual overhead photo. Once you d/l the image it remains yours even if your subscription expires. Image quality can be set to high, excellent quality.
GLASNOSS plus GPS reception is automatic, improving both signal acquisition time (for sure) and reliability (maybe).
It also has a few other bells and whistles which I currently don't use... Geo-caching features, heart rate monitor, cadence monitor, temp monitor, iphone notifications etc. Although it doesn't have a touchscreen and the control interface is a bit "dated", I'm still a VERY HAPPY paddler!!
