Description
The Garmin GPSMAP H1 is a next-generation handheld navigator that represents a significant leap forward in display and durability for the GPSMAP series. Released in late 2025, it introduces a hybrid design that combines a massive 3.5-inch color touchscreen with traditional physical buttons, making it versatile for both glove-on and precision operation.
Key Features

Enhanced Durability: Upgraded to an IP67 water rating (dust-tight and submersible up to 1 meter) and tested to MIL-STD-810 standards for thermal and shock resistance.
-
Extended Battery Life: Provides up to 145 hours in all-satellite systems mode and a staggering 840 hours in expedition mode.
