Keep Your Fix
With its quad helix antenna and high-sensitivity, WAAS-enabled GPS receiver
and HotFix satellite prediction, the Garmin GPSMAP 62 locates your position
quickly and precisely and maintains its GPS location even in heavy cover and
deep canyons. The advantage is clear — whether you’re in deep woods or just near
tall buildings and trees, you can count on the Garmin GPSMAP 62 to help you find
your way when you need it the most.
Add Maps
Adding more maps is easy with Garmin's wide array of detailed topographic,
marine and road maps. With 1.7G of onboard memory, you can conveniently download
24K and 100K topo maps and hit the trail, download BlueChart g2 for a great day
on the water or City Navigator map data for turn-by-turn routing on roads (see
maps tab for compatible maps). The Garmin GPSMAP 62 also supports BirdsEye
Satellite Imagery (subscription required), that lets you download satellite
images to your device and integrate them with your maps. In addition, the 62 is
compatible with Custom Maps, free software that transforms paper and electronic
maps into downloadable maps for your device.
