Is Garmin discontinuing the GPSMAP 67 / GPSMAP 67i?
Is Garmin Discontinuing the GPSMAP 67 / 67i? Here’s the Answer
At GPS Training, we’ve been getting the same question again and again since Garmin launched the new Garmin GPSMAP H1 and GPSMAP H1i Plus – are Garmin going to discontinue the Garmin GPSMAP 67 and GPSMAP 67i?
Last week I (Jon, from GPS Training) sat down with Garmin directly and asked this very question. Their answer was clear:
👉 There are currently no plans to discontinue the Garmin GPSMAP 67 or GPSMAP 67i.
That’s important news for anyone weighing up whether to invest in the 67/67i series or to jump straight to the new H1 units.
Why the Garmin GPSMAP 67 / 67i isn’t going anywhere
While it’s natural to assume that a new launch means the previous generation will be retired, there are several strong reasons why the GPSMAP 67 series is still a key part of Garmin’s handheld line-up:
-
Proven technology
The 67 and 67i are reliable, well-established devices that have become trusted by outdoor professionals, long-distance walkers, and expedition leaders. Garmin won’t drop that kind of proven reputation lightly. -
Battery life advantage
The Garmin GPSMAP 67i delivers up to 165 hours of battery life with 10-minute tracking. By comparison, the new Garmin GPSMAP H1i Plus manages just 48 hours under the same conditions.
Why the difference? The H1i Plus has a more advanced inReach chipset which enables features like sending voice memos and photographs. But that extra power draw comes at a cost – shorter runtime. For those who prioritise endurance in the field, the 67i remains the stronger option. -
Different strengths for different users
The H1/H1i Plus are cutting-edge and exciting, but they don’t replace the 67/67i – they sit alongside them. Each device has its own strengths, meaning the 67 and 67i continue to serve a very clear purpose for those who need maximum battery life and proven dependability.
What this means for buyers
If you’re thinking of purchasing a Garmin GPSMAP 67 or 67i, you can do so with confidence. Garmin have confirmed they’re not phasing them out, and the advantages – particularly in terms of battery performance – remain highly compelling.
At GPS Training we’ll continue to stock both the GPSMAP 67 and GPSMAP 67i, and of course we’ll provide our full training package with every unit we sell.
Final Thoughts
New technology always sparks rumours, but rest assured – the Garmin GPSMAP 67 and 67i are here to stay.
