Do I need multi-band GNSS?

Reviewer consensus

Multi-band (offered on the GPSMAP 65s, 67i, and H1) helps in canyons, dense tree cover, and urban canyons where signals bounce. Specialist-community consensus is that for open trails and prairie country, single-band is fine; multi-band is worth it if you regularly navigate slot canyons, deep forest, or tight terrain.
