Garmin GPSMap 62stc Handheld GPS Unit
The Garmin GPSMap 62stc 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, pre-loaded European Topo maps with support for custom maps and Garmin BirdsEye satellite imagery (subscription required).
A durable waterproof and sleek unit, the Garmin GPSMAP 62stc 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 62stc 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 62stc Handheld GPS Unit locates your position quickly and precisely and maintains its GPS location even in heavy leaf cover and in deep valleys.
Adding more maps is easy with Garmin's wide choice of detailed topographic, marine and road maps. With 4.3GB of onboard memory, the GPSMAP 62stc allows you to conveniently download maps, plug in BlueChart g2 pre-loaded cards for a great day on the water or add City Navigator NT map data for turn-by-turn routing on roads.
