The GPSMAP 60-series are Garmin's rugged, button-operated handhelds, made for people who navigate off track in all weather. Buttons work with gloves and wet hands, and AA power keeps them running far from a charger.
The GPSMAP 65 is the base model, with the 65s adding sensors. It has a 2.6″ sunlight-readable colour screen, multi-band GNSS, and routable TopoActive Australia and New Zealand maps preloaded. Expect up to 16 hours on two AA batteries. It is IPX7 rated and weighs 217 g with batteries.

Key Features
- Accuracy where it is hard – multi-band GNSS across GPS, GLONASS, Galileo and QZSS holds a better fix in steep gullies and heavy timber.
- Routable topo maps – TopoActive Australia and New Zealand maps show tracks, waterways, land use and buildings, with routing on and off road.
- Readable screen – a 2.6″ transflective colour display stays clear in direct sun.
- AA power – up to 16 hours on two AA batteries, with NiMH or lithium cells recommended, so spares are easy to carry.
- Plan on the phone – the Garmin Explore app and website sync waypoints, routes and tracks, and smart notifications appear on the handheld.
- Expandable – a microSD slot (up to 32 GB) takes extra maps, and up to 500 custom map tiles are supported.
Best For
- Hunting the high country – waypoint camps, saddles and kill sites, then route back on the topo maps in poor light.
- Bushwalking off track – multi-band accuracy and AA power suit multi-day walks in rugged national parks.
- 4WD and station work – routable street and off-road networks help on unfamiliar tracks and boundaries.
