Title: Any experience with Garmin 62s GPS
Post by: Copperwood 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.

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

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