How to Get Weather on the 67i
Here are the steps to get a weather forecast on your GPSMAP 67i.
Go to the Menu, then select INREACH WEATHER, then NEW FORECAST, and choose BASIC or PREMIUM. I chose the Premium Weather for this test.
If you select FORECAST TYPE, you will get the two forecast type options below, but remember the Premium Weather will cost you money. In this test I chose MY LOCATION, and then GET FORECAST.
It took about 1 minute for the GPSMAP 67i to send the request through the satellite system, and less than a minute to receive the new weather Forecast.
You can see the weather forecast I received and the detailed weather information on the right side of the image, plus you will also get a weather forecast every two hours, for around three days.
How to Get Weather on the Messenger App
You can also get a weather forecast through the Garmin Messenger App.
Go to WEATHER, then select FORECAST LOCATION, and next the type of weather forecast you would like, followed by GET FORECAST.
Here is the weather forecast I received during the field test.
Final Thoughts
The one thing I noticed is that I was able to get some additional detailed weather information when using the actual device, whereas it was not available when getting weather through the Messenger App, however there is some great information in these forecasts, and they are extremely easy to request.
