Get Your Bearings
GPSMAP
62s has a built-in 3-axis tilt-compensated electronic compass, which
shows your heading even when you’re standing still, without holding it
level. Its barometric altimeter tracks changes in pressure to pinpoint
your precise altitude, and you can even use it to plot barometric
pressure over time, which can help you keep an eye on changing weather
conditions.
Share Wirelessly
With GPSMAP 62s you can
share your waypoints, tracks, routes and geocaches wirelessly with
other compatible Garmin device users. So now your friends can also
enjoy your favorite hike or cache — simply press “send” to transfer
your information to similar units, and let the games begin.
Keep Your Fix
With
its quad helix antenna and high-sensitivity, WAAS-enabled GPS receiver
and HotFix® satellite prediction, GPSMAP 62s locates your position
quickly and precisely and maintains its GPS location even in heavy
cover and deep canyons. The advantage is clear — whether you’re in deep
woods or just near tall buildings and trees, you can count on GPSMAP
62s to help you find your way when you need it the most.
Add Maps
Adding
more maps is easy with Garmin's wide array of detailed topographic,
marine and road maps. With 1.7G of onboard memory, you can conveniently
download 24K and 100K topo maps and hit the trail, plug in BlueChart®
g2 preloaded cards for a great day on the water or City Navigator NT®
map data for turn-by-turn routing on roads (see maps tab for compatible
maps). GPSMAP 62s also supports BirdsEye™ Satellite Imagery
(subscription required), that lets you download satellite images to
your device and integrate them with your maps. In addition, the 62s is
compatible with Custom Maps, free software that transforms paper and
electronic maps into downloadable maps for your device.
