Garmin GPS MAP features
Whenever a photo is taken in stunning clarity with the 5 megapixel, auto-focus digital camera on the new Garmin GPS MAP 62stc or Garmin GPS MAP 62sc, the picture is geo-tagged so that the geographical info can be used at any time as a point of reference or as a destination that can be reached through GPS guidance and directions. And because the Garmin GPS MAP handhelds are waterproof to IPX7 standards. The Garmin GPS MAP camera will take clear pictures even in the worst conditions. Ample built-in memory (3.5 GB for both Garmin GPS MAP models) allows you to take plenty of pictures on the trail and save the downloading and deciding for later.
Garmin GPS MAP Handhelds
The Garmin GPS MAP outdoor handhelds are equipped with a 2.6” sunlight-readable color display, intuitive push-button interface, up to 16 hours of battery life and a high-sensitivity GPS receiver and quad helix antenna for unparalleled reception. The Garmin GPS MAP 62 handheld series features various models and custom dashboards to suit various activities and interests. And thanks to enhanced navigation and the 3D digital elevation model (DEM) data, users navigating to a destination on an active track will see changes in elevation ahead as well as where they’ve been.
New Garmin GPS handhelds
All Garmin GPS MAP 62 handhelds with an “s” include a 3-axis tilt-compensated electronic compass and wireless connectivity for sharing routes, tracks, waypoints and geo-caches between other compatible Garmin GPS handhelds.

Garmin GPS MAP users can also plot barometric pressure over time, which can help keep an eye on changing weather conditions.

Detailed coverage includes major trails, urban and rural roads, interstates, highways, coastlines, rivers and lakes as well as national, state and local parks, forests and wilderness areas. In addition, you can search for points of interest by name or proximity to your location and view descriptive details for terrain contours, topo elevations, summits and geographical points. |
