Any experience with Garmin 62s GPS
« on: March 14, 2016, 08:21:57 AM »
Hey Everyone,

I'm looking at buying the Garmin 62s. Not interested in the 62st. I heard the maps are not good. It got good reviews on different sites. Not really interested in a touch screen and won't use the radio function of the Rhino.

I'm just curious of easy to use, durability, reliability etc. thanks in advance.

I love mine, it has worked flawlessly

The American Soldier and Jesus Christ. One died for your freedom, the other for your soul.

My rock,
He trains my hands for war and my fingers for battle.

Was it pretty easy to get the hang of? I played with one at Sportmens and it seemed to be pretty awesome.

Yes, easy to navigate once you are use to the menus.

 Garmin 62 is the 3rd GPS I have owned over the years and I love it.

Great choice. It's one of my all-time favorite units.
Nature. It's cheaper than therapy.

Thanks guys. I'm going to pick one up soon. I just wish I could store multiple maps at the same time. (WA,ID,MT)

You can if you get the download versions rather than the chips.

I have one of the first ones that came out. It's still getting me back to the truck.
