They finish with their Christmas gear wish-lists and Andy’s shortcut tips.

1. Is This the End of the Garmin GPSMAP 67?

Garmin have quietly stopped supplying new GPSMAP 67 stock — despite saying in October that there were “no plans to discontinue” it when the new GPSMAP H1 series launched.

Key points

No more GPSMAP 67 units on order from Garmin — stock is now extremely limited.

The 67 has been hugely popular thanks to:

A massive jump in battery life (way beyond 100 hours).

Its robust build and reliability.

Button-only control, ideal for poor weather.

Second-hand 67 and 67i units are selling fast — proving the demand is still strong.
