Garmin GPSMAP 62

 

The following has been adapted from my hands on review of the Garmin GPSMAP 62s. It's finally here… The Garmin GPSMAP 62 brings a long-awaited update to the GPSMAP 60Cx. The 60 series reigned supreme as the gold standard handheld GPS for more than four...

Excellent menu system; fast access to features ; Bright screen ; Ability to load Garmin custom maps and BirdsEye aerial imagery ; Paperless geocaching ; Extensive customization options ; Advanced track navigation ; Accurate total ascent readings ;...

Small, low resolution screen ; Text entry more difficult than on a touchscreen Oregon ; Relatively heavy (compared to Oregon series) ; Most units seem to sport a creaky case ; Firmware still seems a bit immature ; No micro-SD slot

Updated to reflect my testing of production (non-beta) firmware version 2.50.
