Thread: GPSMAP66st

@babj615,

On the GPSMAP 62 and 64 the power is on the side.

I will post screen shots if you want.

The GPSMAP 60 is so old to use as a comparison........

I quote you:

"Placing the power button in a location on the device that is easily or commonly gripped turns out to be not the best solution"

I have friends who have the 62 and 64 series and have never run into any problems accidentally pressing the power button.

Even while having in their hand walking or climbing over things while Geocaching.

You do use the power button to put the screen back on or take it out of Expedition Mode or you can put it back into Expedition Mode right away.

So I do not understand problems accidentally pressing the power button would cause other than you might turn off the GPS.

I am a prospective buyer of a GPSMap 66s, I am somewhat alarmed by the alleged
problem with displaying multiple waypoint at the same time.
I have a lot of waypoints in my Magellan Sportrak that I want to transfer to the GPSMap.
I can export them from the Magellan, convert them to the GPX format and import them
in Basecamp (that I use with my Zumo 660).
Can someone confirm that it is possible to transfer waypoints from Basecamp to a GPSMap?
Thanks in advance for your insights
Willy
