The GPSMAP 62sc handheld navigator features a 3-axis
tilt-compensated compass, a barometric altimeter, a 5
megapixel autofocus camera with photo navigation, and
support for Custom Maps and BirdsEye™ Satellite imagery
(subscription required). Rugged and waterproof, GPSMAP
62sc employs a quad helix antenna for unparalleled
reception, has a high-speed USB connection and connects
wirelessly to compatible Garmin handhelds.
Get Your Bearings
GPSMAP 62sc 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 GPSMAP 62sc, 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 GPSMAP 62sc'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 62sc 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 62sc to help you find
your way when you need it the most.
Add Maps
A worldwide basemap with shaded relief comes installed,
but adding even more maps is easy thanks to Garmin's
wide array of detailed topographic, marine and road
options. With 3.5 GB of onboard memory, you can
conveniently download 24K and 100K TOPO U.S. 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). GPSMAP 62sc 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 62sc
is compatible with Custom Maps, free software that
transforms paper and electronic maps into downloadable
maps for your device.
