Topo Maps

Topo maps are available on the ZOLEO, but only with Downloaded off-line maps or if you include yourself as a contact and share your location with yourself, then you can select the map and see where you are at.

The GPSMAP 67i has true global topo maps, plus satellite images are available worldwide with a subscription to Outdoor Maps+.

Navigation

The bottom line is you cannot navigate with ZOLEO, however the Gamin GPSMAP 67i excels in navigation and TracBack. The 67i wins this battle hands down.

Final Thoughts

The ZOLEO may be the best satellite communicator for you if your primary need is communication and you don’t need the device for maps or navigation.

The Garmin GPSMAP 67i is probably the best satellite messenger if you like an All-in-One device, that can get SOS, 2-way message, request weather forecasts, provide tracking for your family and friends, and if you want worldwide maps and powerful navigation and TracBack functions.
