+TeamTinks Posted July 16, 2010 Posted July 16, 2010 They have the Garmin GPSMAP 62st in stock, so I ordered one !!!! Been wanting a GPS for awhile now, but been holding off till this 62 series came out. I hope it's true & they're not pulling my leg.. Can't wait, should be here Tues. later Quote
+GrateBear Posted July 16, 2010 Posted July 16, 2010 Looking forward to the first user reviews. Let us know! Quote
yogazoo Posted July 16, 2010 Posted July 16, 2010 (edited) Have they charged your credit/debit card yet? Have you gotten a tracking number on your shipment yet? Edited July 16, 2010 by yogazoo Quote
+TeamTinks Posted July 17, 2010 Author Posted July 17, 2010 Got a tracking number, should be here Tues. Stopped by the local REI and they don't have them in stock yet. Neither does Sportsmans Warehouse. Quote

+BAMBOOZLE Posted July 18, 2010 Posted July 18, 2010 Please let us know ALL about these units......it would be great to do field tests side by side with a 60 CSx. In addition to speed and accuracy it would be good to know about the paperless/field notes functions. The 60 CSx has a quirky compass that often needs to be field calibrated.......I'm interested in the function of the 3-axis on the 62s. Two questions : 1. Are you getting the City Nav on a micro SD card ? 2. If you get the City Nav on a micro SD card can you use the card for other storage ? Quote

But this is my first GPS, so i have nothing to compare it to and I am fairly new to this Geocaching. I did own a 60csx for a day but returned it because I found out that the 62 was coming out with paperless caching, so I held out till the 62 hit the shelves. I am not getting the City Nav. I plan on getting it someday. Quote
+steenroller Posted July 20, 2010 Posted July 20, 2010 Hey Bam, I got the equivalent in the 78s and used it when I did the abbreviated run on the Hang'em High series and View Carre. It is extremely fast to acquire a fix when you turn it on. New it had a fix inside the building in two minutes. Now it will have a fix in a building or vehicle in about 15 seconds. The compass works fine. Paperless functions seems to be similar to what I have seen from the Oregon although I have never used one. You can print out the cache logs and field notes using the word or notebook program. I even opted for the Birdseye for one year. I have also tried importing some custom maps thru Google Earth and that function works good. Should be the same system as the 62 except in a different case. If you have any questions send me an email or PM me on MSGA since I will check that one more often. Quote
