Garmin GPSMAP 62 s fun

came Today, the new GPSmap 62 on s. Besetllt I had last week at Navifuture. The first attempt for on-the-trail because they failed me after receiving the payment told to deliver until Monday. Funny because the stock was. At least I got a day later after 2 calls the money.
Navifuture sent out the thing on Thursday immediately.
Well DHL needed then by three day had to be there.
So this morning, unpacked, played up the topo map. Here, the USB 2.0 degree is much faster than the old one from the 60s. When there was non keien GSAK settings for the GPS 62nd So just tested the Dakota 20 settings. This went without problems and the first 15 were in the GPS cache.
had in a video I saw the the GPS62 has a split screen.
I found it after 10 Map minutes - Menu and data fields, there on display and then placed on Geocaching in the manual was nothing. This is the best innovation compared with the GPS 60 Csx. At last, compass, distance to destination and the map on a display.
The information about the caches can also be found very easily. Just click on Find and select Geocache. Once a cache is selected on the Select Page button Geocache and after 2 seconds dive into the fields for cache description, last logs, hints and other fields.
get used to very quickly.
After the most important functions were learned, put into the car and drove 30 km to the cache.
There, the GPSMAP 60 CSX GPSMAP 62s and at the same time on. Both were nearly the same time ready to go. At the first waypoint both units were 3 m apart. Both about the same distance away the can. The first major difference came to light on a hill. By the 3 axis compass, the 62s has much better direction. At the next box, the '62 was thus significantly more than the 60 he.
The display can also be seen better and the track history can be seen clearly.
Both multinationals, we have found good.
The GPSmap 62 s unit was already making fun.
morning then I test the behavior with different cards. Currently, I transfer the City Navigator and Topo 2010 on the Specherkarte. Here the reader is always faster than the USB port.
