I think you need to go into the settings and let the 67i know that you are driving, not hiking. You need to select the correct activity. I'll have to dig into the menu on mine and confirm that, though.
Hi, you can indeed drive with the 67i, less ideal but it does the job if needed. Make sure you have a routable map (i use the Open Street Map) and create a new profile specific for driving. Under Setting > Routing select Automobile Driving (under Activity) and Lock on Road Enabled. Route calculation and recalculation is pretty fast as well!
Great advice and in formation. I'm going to do some additional tests and will make another video so people can see first hand what you're recommending and how it does compared to the test I created in this video. Rick
I use my Garmin 67i also for navigation while cycling. 35 km/h in tight streets with buildings covering the sky. No problem for the device. I make sure before the ride that the selected sports profile is cycling. I also started to use Komoot to plot my trips and Just navigate with my Garmin.
Really enjoy the video! Just received my unit a week ago and have learned a lot. I live near the ocean and have heard mixed opinions on blue chart3 compatibility. I went by the roundabout way printing marine charts from caltopo baselayers and loading them in as custom maps but the resolution of the raster is less than ideal. Thoughts on blue chart3?
@@outdooremergencytech i just purchased the 67i. I get lost in a paper bag. I’m a photographer who has been going on solo hiking trips with no idea as to what I’m doing. I Really appreciate what you’re help
I'm here to help. Let me know if you ever have any other questions. I love photography and am always looking for ways to incorporate it into my videos here and on my website at hikingemergencybeacon.com Do you have a website where you have photos available? Rick
The City Navigator is no longer available. See the information from Garmin below. support.garmin.com/en-US/?faq=S8OPNqFzrJ1yCSbiOfMOZ5&productID=890109&searchQuery=city%20navigator&tab=topics Thanks for bringing this up and I was trying to use it but it's not an option any longer, unless you already own it.

Good point. I'll look into that more. At least it's one lesson learned with more to come.
Thanks for bringing that up.

the watches have an activity called "navigate" so i think this might too.

I don't have any experience with Blue Charts but if I was near the ocean or out on the ocean a lot, I would have the Garmin GPSMAP 86sci.

WELL DONE THANK YOU
Anytime! Glad to help.

If you get the Garmin City Navigator and choose the automobile route, the 67i will not look for trails.
The City Navigator is no longer available. See the information from Garmin below.

Why bother?
Maps on the phone works better ‼️
You're exactly right. This was a test to get an idea of how well the 67i would do if traveling in areas with no cell service.
