Pros: If you've used Garmin before, you won't have problems with this one.

Pros: If you've used Garmin before, you won't have problems with this one. IT never loses satellite lock unless you near a military micro-wave station.... See more

Pros: Never dropped signal yet on Hikes where other hikers GPS lost signal.
"...Used it for geocaching and put me right within 5ft of the cache. You can see the screen during the daytime quite well compared to other GPS.
Cons: No issues with the unit itself, but Garmin documentation is not great. But there are a lot of GPS enthusiasts on the web and there are a lot of blogs that helped me figure out things like getting data onto the SD card (hint: mimic the GPS file structure than put things on the card)....

Excellent Upgrade to 60csx
"...
I use the 62st primarily for geocaching, having upgraded from the classic 60csx that my child now is using. I like that Garmin made things easy to set up, as the modes are quite similar.... See more

Very good - but get the Garmin 62s
"...I am a hiker and a skier, and I wanted a reliable, precise GPS to log the track while hiking, and mark significant points in the path.
The 62st is a joy to use: very good battery life (I have never exhausted the batteries, but after 8h of continuous use at -15C the NiMH were still strong), very fast to operate, very visible display. I carry it attached to a backpack strap.... See more

Super GPS!

I received the GPSMAP 62st for Christmas, so I'm still going through a learning phase with it and exploring its limits. So far, this device is very rugged and ready for trail use right out of the box, using the 100K Topo charts preloaded.... See more

Big improvement over my old Garmin.

This is a very good GPS receiver. It will actually lock onto several satellites while I'm sitting in the middle of my house.... See more

Buyer Beware

This GPS is a joke!
"...
After using a Garmin 60CSx for years, I expected an improvement when I bought the 62st. Instead, I find that the 62st has taken a step backwards in functionality.... See more

Shuts Down Randomly

This Sunday I will be returning the 62st for some completely different GPS unit. I think these units just can't handle the bumps.... See more

Unexpected Lack of Functionality
"...I wanted to upgrade from my GPSmap 60CSx to obtain more memory and access to satellite imagery.
However, the GPSmap 62st doesn't allow use of the unit when plugged into the computer like the GPSmap 60CSx, and I was unable to delete a Geocache that I downloaded from the computer. I could delete waypoints, but not the downloaded Geocache.... See more

DISAPPOINTED

Upon my return, I contacted Garmin Customer Support. They were helpful, but could not resolve the lock up.... See more |
