Who are They Meant For?
These two satellite communicators are both made by Garmin and both have the inReach technology that allows you trigger an S.O.S. message and text two-way with friends and family.
The primary difference is the GPSMAP 67i is smaller and designed to carry on a backpack. It also has a much longer battery life than the Montana 700i.
The Montana 700i/750i is designed to mount on a Motorcycle, ATV, Jeep, Truck, etc., and be charging while using so you don’t run out of battery. It has a much larger screen and it is touch screen, so it is easier to use in or on a vehicle.
Final Thoughts
Let’s keep this simple. After using both of these and talking to garmin, they are two of the most powerful satellite communicators on the market. Chose the GPSMAP 67i if you are primarily carrying it on your backpack. Chose the Montana 700i if you are primarily using it on something like an ATV or jeep.
