I just received a GPSMAP 62s from REI and am very pleased. I moved up from a eTrex Legend, so there's a lot to love.
I am satisfied with how it handles caches using Garmin's Base Camp (MapSource type program) and I am very satisfied with GPSFileDepot Maps...better than Garmin's 2008 version I have. Definately no reason to get the maps from Garmin.
