Garmin GPSMap 62sc Handheld GPS Unit

The Garmin GPSMap 62sc Handheld GPS Unit is an impressive GPS unit that includes among its features a 3-axis tilt-compensated compass, a barometric altimeter, a 5mpx autofocus camera with photo navigation and support for custom maps and Garmin BirdsEye satellite imagery (subscription required).

A durable waterproof and sleek unit, the Garmin GPSMAP 62sc boasts a quad helix antenna that provides excellent reception, it has a high-speed USB connection and it connects wirelessly to compatible Garmin handhelds.

The built-in 3-axis tilt-compensated electronic compass shows your heading even when you are standing still not even holding the unit level. Its barometric altimeter tracks changes in pressure to pinpoint your precise altitude and you can even use it to plot barometric pressure over time, which can help you keep an eye on changing weather conditions.

The slim and lightweight Garmin GPSMAP 62sc enables you to wirelessly share your waypoints, tracks, routes and geocaches wirelessly with other compatible Garmin device users so that your friends can also enjoy your favourite hike or cache. You simply press 'send' to transfer your information to similar units.

With the built-in 5mpx autofocus camera, you are able to capture the highlights of your outings. Each photo is automatically geotagged with the location of where it was taken, allowing you or anyone you share your photos with to navigate back to that spot in the future.

With its quad helix antenna and high-sensitivity WAAS-enabled GPS receiver and HotFix satellite prediction, the Garmin GPSMap 62sc Handheld GPS Unit locates your position quickly and precisely and maintains its GPS location even in heavy foliage cover and in deep valleys.

Adding more maps is easy with Garmin's wide array of detailed topographic, marine and road maps. You can conveniently plug in Garmin GB Discoverer mapping for OS Explorer (1:25k) and OS Landranger (1:50k) on your handheld. Search, select and navigate to points of interest and street addresses and follow the route on foot, in the car with turn-by-turn routing or by bike with an Ordnance Survey backdrop. Add BlueChart g2 pre-loaded cards for a great day on the water or City Navigator NT map data for routing on roads in the UK and further afield. You could download customised sections of premium raster-based maps onto your Garmin GPSMap 62sc with BirdsEye Select and integrate them with your maps.

In addition, the Garmin 62sc is compatible with Custom Maps, free software that transforms paper and electronic maps into downloadable maps for your device. Put your favourite paper or digital maps on the GPSMAP 62sc by converting details, labels and landmarks from other maps and informal plans like ski piste routes, mountain bike trails or charity treks into tailored content that is ready to navigate. Plan your route, survey the terrain and geotag photos on your computer then load the data to your outdoor device with free downloadable software Garmin BaseCamp.

With a simple connection to your computer and to the Internet, you can get a detailed analysis of your activities and send tracks to your Garmin outdoor device using Garmin Connect. This one-stop community website offers an activity table and allows you to view your activities on a map using Google Earth. Explore other routes uploaded by millions of Garmin Connect users and share your experiences on Twitter and Facebook.

The Garmin GPSMap 62sc Handheld GPS Unit supports geocaching GPX files for downloading geocaches and details straight to your unit. The device stores and displays key information, including location, terrain, difficulty, hints and descriptions, which means no more manually entering coordinates or fussing with paper print outs. Simply upload the GPX file to your unit and you are ready to start searching for those caches.
