Yeah saw this. I was pretty intrigued! Does the Fenix 6 Pro have the same dual solar tech? It doesn't seem to get the same GPS battery time.
As far as I can see, this is basically a Fenix 6 (non pro model) with awesome solar charging. Unfortunately it doesn't have map capability... Unless someone works out a way to hack it in there. That was never possible with my Fenix 5 because there wasn't the storage capacity to do it. Although seeing as this has no music etc perhaps it doesn't either. I want a 'Garmin Hike' - with this super long battery life and topo maps / GPS nav... the basic ABC functions. Most of the other bells and whistles I can do without.
I have a fenix 6, and it has 100% replaced my usual GPS. I''s actually an amazing piece of tech. I can do an overnight bushwalk and battery life is enough for the trip without charging, and I don't need to baby it through water/swimming.
Anyone want to buy a used Garmin etrex 30?
Men wanted for hazardous journey. Low wages, bitter cold, long hours of complete darkness. Safe return doubtful.
