The newly designed GPSMAP 62s handheld navigator is loaded with amazing features. It gives you a 3-axis tilt-compensated compass, a barometric altimeter and supports Custom Maps, BirdsEye Satellite imagery (subscription required) and photo navigation. Not only is it waterproof, its quad helix antenna gives you unmatched reception. It also has a high-speed USB connection, a beautiful new design and connects wirelessly to compatible Garmin handhelds.
Become and explorer
Its built-in basemap with shaded relief makes the GPSMAP 62s a valuable companion wherever you go. Photo navigation allows you to download and navigate to photos from Garmin Connect Photos.
Know where you are
A 3-axis tilt-compensated electronic compass is built in to your GPSMAP 62s, so you’ll know your heading even if you aren’t standing still or holding it level. And the barometric altimeter tracks pressure changes to give you an accurate altitude reading. You can even use it to plot barometric pressure over time, which helps you anticipate changing weather.
Go social
Your GPSMAP 62s allows you to share waypoints, tracks, geocaches and routes wirelessly with other compatible Garmin devices. Just press “send” to transfer your information to your friends.
Know where you are
GPSMAP 62s has a quad helix antenna that combines with high-sensitivity WAAS-enabled GPS receiver and HotFix satellite prediction to determine your location quickly and accurately, no matter your surrounding terrain.
Customize your maps
With Garmin’s collection of detailed topographic, marine and road maps, you can add and customize your GPSMAP 62s’ maps. Your device features 1.7 gigabytes of onboard memory and you can download 24K and 100k topo maps for your day on the trails. If you’re hitting the water, just insert BlueChart g2 preloaded cards. And if you’re preparing for a road trip, City Navigator NT map data provides turn-by-turn directions. GPSMAP 62s supports subscription-based BirdsEye Satellite Imagery, which integrates satellite images with your maps. And, GPSMAP 62s is compatible with the free software Custom Maps, which transforms paper and electronic maps into downloadable files.
All your data in one place
With a connection to your computer and the internet, you can get detailed analysis of your activities, and send tracks to your outdoor device with Garmin Connect. You’ll get activity tables and a chance to see your activities on a Google Earth map. You can explore routes uploaded by millions of Garmin Connect users, and share your experience on Twitter and Facebook.
A geocacher’s dream
Your GPSMAP 62s can download geocaching GPX files. Your paperless geocaching not only helps the environment, but makes your geocaching easier. GPSMAP 62s stores and displays key details, including terrain, location, difficulty, hints and descriptions. You won’t need any more printouts or manually-entered coordinates. Just upload the GPX file to your unit and start hunting.

by Galin P, , 11/17/2011 I liked new rugged and waterproof design which makes my new 62s very convenient to hold and operate. The new feature of wireless connectivity to other folks on geocaching team is wonderful. It definitely has much better GPS signal reception with new quad helix antenna, compared to my older handheld, outdoors and in the woods, under the cover, the difference in much better satellite signal reception is very impressive. An excellent product and I am happy with it.
