Garmin GPSMAP 62stc
The Garmin GPSMAP 62stc handheld navigator features a 3-axis tilt-compensated
compass, a barometric altimeter, 5 megapixel autofocus camera with photo
navigation, preloaded TOPO U.S. 100K maps and supports custom maps and BirdsEye
Satellite imagery (subscription required). Rugged and waterproof, the Garmin
GPSMAP 62stc employs a quad helix antenna for unparalleled reception, has a
high-speed USB connection, a sleek new design and connects wirelessly to
compatible Garmin handhelds.
Explore the Terrain
The Garmin GPSMAP 62stc comes preloaded with TOPO 100K, which includes
coverage of the full U.S., including Alaska, Hawaii and Puerto Rico, and a
worldwide basemap with shaded relief — all the tools for serious climbing or
hiking. Map detail includes national, state and local parks and forests, along
with terrain contours, elevation information, trails, rivers, lakes and points
of interest.
Get Your Bearings
The Garmin GPSMAP 62stc has a built-in 3-axis tilt-compensated electronic
compass, which shows your heading even when you’re standing still, without
holding it 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.
Share Wirelessly
With the Garmin GPSMAP 62stc, you can share your waypoints, tracks, routes
and geocaches wirelessly with other compatible Garmin device users. So now your
friends can also enjoy your favorite hike or cache — simply press “send” to
transfer your information to similar units, and let the games begin.
Document Your Journey
With the Garmin GPSMAP 62stc's built-in 5 megapixel autofocus camera, you'll
be able to capture the highlights of your outings. Each photo is automatically
geotagged with the location of where it was taken, allowing you – or those you
share your photos with – to easily navigate back to that spot in the future.
Keep Your Fix
With its quad helix antenna and high-sensitivity, WAAS-enabled GPS receiver
and HotFix satellite prediction, GPSMAP 62stc 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 GPSMAP 62stc 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 4.3 GB of onboard memory, the Garmin GPSMAP 62stc
lets you conveniently download TOPO U.S. 24K maps and hit the trail, plug in
BlueChart g2 preloaded cards for a great day on the water or City Navigator NT
map data for turn-by-turn routing on roads (see maps tab for compatible maps).
The Garmin GPSMAP 62stc 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 62stc is compatible with Custom Maps, free
software that transforms paper and electronic maps into downloadable maps for
your device.
Get Connected
You've been busy exploring and now you want to store and analyze your
activities. 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 outdoor
device using Garmin Connect. This one-stop site offers an activity table and

share.
Find Fun
The Garmin GPSMAP 62stc 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 and paper print outs! Simply
upload the GPX file to your unit and start hunting for caches. Slim and
lightweight, 62stc is the perfect companion for all your outdoor pursuits.
