        Comments about Garmin GPSMAP 62s Handheld GPS:

        I had a Map 76 c and this was a serious upgrade. Very easy to customise to my needs. The batteries don't seem to last as long as the Map 76c but I have not used it enought to be sure. easy to install maps. THIS WILL NOT WORK WITH MAPSOURCE, you must install Basecamp to work with the different maps and options. Basecamp not to hard to get use to using.

          Use this for finding geocaches and it's usually w/in a couple of feet. Much more accurate than the GPS in my phone.

          Used GPSFileDepot.com to get more detailed maps for free.

          Would definitely buy again and recommend to others.

          Comments about Garmin GPSMAP 62s Handheld GPS:

          Marked my location and within an hour it showed my same location was 60 plus feet off. Still was saying the GPS was good within 11 feet. Did not appear to have any maps installed. Will do more testing around the house to see if it works better than out of the woods. Will try contacting company to see what they have to say. Considering returning unit. Wanted a unit that would be good within 10 feet. Hope to fine I'm doing something wrong.
