Garmin 010-00868-00 Review by sassafras
I absolutely love this GPS. I've used a Garmin Oregon 300, Garmin Etrex and vista, Garmin gpsmap 60Csx and a Garmin Rino 530 and this GPS is better than all of them. The accuracy is great on this, usually around 9 ft regardless of whether or not I'm under tree cover or near large metal objects. The unit is also incredibly sensitive and does a good job measuring speed whether walking (slow pace to fast pace), biking, or driving in the car. The screen is very easy to see in direct, bright sunlight or at night. The paperless geocaching is amazing. So far, I have mostly used it for geocaching and it generally takes me directly to the cache. There is a menu bar that allows you to add shortcuts you easily jump to by using the quit and page keys, which makes switching from map to compass, to geocaches to elevation plot extremely easy, especially while riding a bicycle. I had trouble navigating the touch-screen oregon on my bike, and this gpsmap 62s is a breeze.
The only issue I have had with this GPS was when I updated to the 2.70 software. It was loaded on, booted up then turned off after about 30 seconds to a minute. I reset the gps (by using the appropriate button combination, I don't remember what it is at the moment) and since I reset it, everything has worked perfectly. I took this unit hiking yesterday and it tracked my route/elevation very accurately.
A lot of people have complained about this unit "squeaking". Yes, mine squeaks too. Only near the power button, and only on the side the power button is on. I guess this would be a personal preference, but the squeaking doesn't bother me at all. The gps still feels very rugged and tough. I took this out in the pouring rain and since the unit isn't broken, I'm assuming the waterproofing isn't comprised by the squeak. Also, I feel that the whole squeaking thing has been way over dramatized. To me it's not a big deal at all.
I've only used the 60 csx once, but from what I've read about it, it seems that this gps is just as accurate (if not more so) than the 60 csx. If you're into geocaching, I would highly recommend this unit because you can utilize the paperless geocaching, which is incredibly convenient. Previously I had used my phone to view logs/hints, but there is no way I would have been geocaching in the rain if I had to lug my cell phone with me. All around amazing gps unit, especially if a little squeak doesn't bother you.

I've used the Garmin 60CSx for years and expected improvements when I upgraded to the 62st. Instead, I find that Garmin has gone backwards! Not only is the new user interface more awkward and confusing, they have left stuff out altogether! If you value your data, don't use this device! First of all, the battery indicator tells you the battery is fully charged until about 60 seconds before the batteries run out! If you don't change the batteries before that, you lose your current track! Also, the device will not allow you to find out the time of a given waypoint! You can't go back and ask the device what time you left because the device won't give you a way to find out the time! The data is there, but you just can't get at it! It amazes me that Garmin can't provide something as basic as time! Furthermore, they have added all kinds of fancy things but only succeeded in making things more confusing. For example, would you like to turn your tracking off and on? Don't go to track manager to do that. Instead, you have to go through the main menu and the settings page in order to turn your tracks on and off. Want to clear saved tracks? You can't do that with the reset button. You have to go to Track Manager for that. The reset page allows you to reset all the other data but watch out for that final choice, "Reset All Settings" which doesn't clear data but resets all your settings to default! Do you want to save a partial track? Forget it! The old 60CSx allowed you to pick the start and end points off the map. The 62st doesn't allow you to do that. Instead, you have to go through some convoluted process of figuring out which leg you were on and... I don't know, I can't figure it out!
I've been in contact with tech support 10 to 15 times and mostly I get, "You can't get there from here," for an answer. I've used this thing for a couple of months hoping to get used to the screwy interface but I've lost enough important data that I think I'll go back to my 60CSx. At least it knows how to tell time and is easy to use! The 62st is out of control!
Garmin really screwed up this time!
Garmin 010-00868-00 Review by Kevin Lemoi
After much thought I finally decided on buying the Garmin 62. Before I bought the 62 I had a garmin Legend Cx. This was a nice unit for its time. I had purchased the Legend Cx for geocaching. Well all these years later I am still geocaching and wanted to find a device that would give me better reception under tree cover. So after reviewing all the Garmin options I went with the Garmin 62. As of now I have yet to use it outside. I have basically unboxed the unit and connected it to my computer and run the firmware updates. I also bought the Garmin 24K topo maps to install on the 62. My biggest worry about the 62 was that I could not add a memory card to it to get more space. Well... I have downloaded all of the topo maps for New england (and I mean all of them) and I have just barely used a quarter of the 1.7GB the unit comes with! Whhew! This was my big worry... so if you are concerned about this... don't be. Later I may buy the lake topos but I suspect I will find the same thing, plenty of space. Many reviewers said the 62 squeeks. Well mine does not. Not even a sound when I turn it on, so no worries there. The unit iself fits nicely into the palm of your hand, feels very sturdy and has a good sized screen, not huge mind you, but still bigger than the one I had on my Legend Cx. The unit took about 60-90 seconds to initialize (inside my house) and then it found 7 or 8 sats. Not bad for INSIDE. I took this evening to figure out how to donload GPX files into my unit for geocaching (since I bought my GF a Garmin for Christmas I needed to update mine, of course!) we are planning on going Geocaching together so I wanted to get a number of GPX files into my 62. Firstly, you will need a Premium membership on Geocaching.com ($30) in order to download GPX files. You will also need to update your gecaching profile to support GPX 1.1 format, this is done under the preferences on the geocaching website. Getting GPX files into the 62 is quite easy after you have installed the Garmin software on your computer. Basically just go to the cache, select the cache you wish to find and click on the small COPY GPX icon to the far right... and bam, the file is there, descriptions, hints, logs and all. So far I am very pleased with the unit. I also bought the Garmin 62 case and the clip attachment. I would suggest you skip the Garmin 60 series cases and look for something that is larger to protect your device. The Garmin clip is VERY good and holds the unit solidly. So no worries on it falling off. I also bought some NiMH batteries so I could recharge after each outing, the unit actually has a setting for NiMH which is very cool. After I have had the unit in the field I will report back on what I find... but so far so good! I can hardly wait to get out there and find some of those geocaches hidden under thick tree cover!
