GPSMAP 67 Battery Drain
I used my 67 on an off-trail hike this morning. The distance of the hike was 3.8 miles. The duration of the hike according to the GPS was 2.26:00. The battery level was 99.0% at the start. The battery level at the end of the hike was 98.0% with 17.5 days remaining.

Power the GPSr 67 on. Press the power button once and you will see the Lock Screen page, then use the right arrow on the D-Pad and you will see the battery level percentage and the estimated number of days remaining.

That data is provided by a Connect IQ widget, isn’t it?

Re: GPSMAP 67 Battery Drain
Yes, you are quite correct. The battery information is provided by a Connect IQ widget which must be installed first to display battery level information. I had forgotten that I had installed that widget.

Ahh thought it would be an app. I'll give it a miss, I'm not keen on installing stuff on my devices off there. Never know what's being installed.

Re: GPSMAP 67 Battery Drain
All Connect IQ apps are reviewed by Garmin and you have to allow apps access to various data and functions. So I think there’s not much risk in using Connect IQ apps.
