The GPSMAP 65 series is Garmin's button-operated outdoor handheld, built for accurate tracking where trees, gullies and steep terrain upset ordinary GPS. It suits hunters, hikers and 4WD travellers who want proven buttons and AA power.
The 65s adds ABC sensors (barometric altimeter and 3-axis compass) to the multi-band GNSS receiver. It has a 2.6 in colour screen, preloaded routable TopoActive Australia and New Zealand maps, up to 16 hours on two AA batteries and an IPX7 rating.

- Readable in sunlight – a 2.6 in transflective colour display that stays clear outdoors.
- AA power – up to 16 hours in GPS mode on two AA batteries, easy to swap in the field.
- Garmin Explore app – plan and sync waypoints, routes and tracks from your phone or computer, and get smart notifications when paired.
Best For
- Hunting in steep, timbered country – multi-band GNSS keeps an accurate track where single-band units drift.

- 4WD trips and station work – mark tracks, gates and water points on preloaded topo maps.
