For demanding field conditions you can depend on the GPSMAP 62st, with its 3-axis tilt-compensated compass, barometric altimeter and preloaded European 1:100k scale recreation maps. Inspired by the powerful GPSMAP 60 series, this rugged and waterproof GPS combines high-precision accuracy with high functionality to brave the demands of any terrain. The GPSMAP 62st comes with built-in European 1:100k recreation maps with street-level detail and a worldwide basemap with shaded relief - ideal tools for serious fieldworking or hiking. The map detail includes national and local parks and forests, along with terrain contours, elevation information, trails, rivers, lakes and points of interest.

The GPSMAP 62st has a 2.6-inch sunlight-readable colour screen. The built-in 3-axis tilt-compensated electronic compass helps you get your orientation and points you towards your destination even when you're standing still, without holding it level. Its barometric altimeter tracks changes in pressure to pinpoint your precise altitude. View elevation and profile on the altimeter screen and you can even plot barometric pressure over time to keep an eye on changing weather conditions.

With the GPSMAP 62st you can share your waypoints, tracks, routes and geocaches wirelessly with other compatible Garmin GPS handhelds. So now your friends can also enjoy your favourite hike or cache - simply press "send" to transfer your information to similar units, and let the games begin. With a quad helix antenna and high-sensitivity, WAAS-enabled GPS receiver with HotFix satellite prediction, the GPSMAP 62st has unparalleled reception to locate your position quickly and precisely and maintains its GPS location even in heavy cover and deep valleys. The advantage is clear - whether you're in deep woods or just near tall buildings and trees, you can count on the GPSMAP 62st to help you find your way.

With space to store up to 2000 waypoints and 200 routes, the GPSMAP 62st's detailed route planning and tracking helps you navigate from point-to-point and keep track of your journey as you go. As you navigate to a destination on an active track, you can view upcoming elevation changes together with waypoints and key stages along the route for a clear picture of the journey ahead. And with customisable display, you can tailor the GPSMAP 62st dashboard to show you the details you need.

Use the GPSMAP 62st to search, select and navigate to points of interest and street addresses and follow the route on foot, in the car or by bike. The 62st 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 62st 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's ready to navigate.

With a simple connection to your computer and to the Internet, you can get a detailed analysis of your activities and view tracks on Google Earth, as well as share them on Twitter and Facebook. The GPSMAP 62st supports geocaching GPX files for downloading geocaches and details straight to your unit. By going paperless, you're not only helping the environment but saving time you would otherwise waste manually entering cache details before you set off. GPSMAP 62st stores and displays key information, including location, terrain, difficulty, hints and descriptions, which means no more manually entering coordinates or paper print outs!
