Review: Great handheld GPS and great value - Did extensive research for years before purchasing a handheld GPS. Originally considered the Gpsmap 60 series long ago. For my money, the 62st was easily the best cost / performance combination. I have been using a Gpsmap 276C in car and boat. Really like the technical reporting features of it and similar features of the 62st. I know that the touchscreen units may seem more appealing, but the 62st is very easy to use and I really like the former factor and quad helix antenna. The unit cold starts quickly and gets to 6-10 foot accuracy in a snap. The included 100k topo map, while not routable, was only a small increase in the unit price. I will use the purchased 24k topo for my region and may also spring for the full North America street map for routing and POI info. In summary, this unit is rock solid and a good value. Great battery life and easy to use on the trail. Also great for downloading and locating Geocaches. Review: Great unit - If you use lithium batteries and set for save battery. They last a long time. You can also install a Game and Fish map SD card for your state, that is very useful. Especially as it gives you landowner name and property lines. Also hunting areas. Works in the trees. You don't have to find a clear spot. Elevation map, distance, speed, average speed, and waypoints. Calendar, geo cache, best hunt and fish times. Has everything. ## Features - 2.6 in. transflective, 65-K color TFT display - Built-in 100K topographic data for continental U.S. - Barometric altimeter - Electronic Tilt-compensated, 2-axis compass - Waterproof (IPX7); 160 x 240 display resolution - Rugged, waterproof navigator with 2.6-inch, sunlight-readable, 65-K color TFT screen and 160 x 240 pixel resolution - Three-axis, tilt-compensated electronic compass and barometric altimeter for precise bearing and altitude measurements - 100k topographic data for the U.S. and worldwide basemap with shaded relief; add a wide array of topographic, marine and road maps - Supports BirdsEye Satellite Imagery (subscription required) for integrating satellite images with your maps - Compatible with Custom Maps, free software that transforms paper and electronic maps into downloadable maps for your device ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B003IHV6Z0 | | Additional Features | Explore the Terrain, Get Your Bearings | | Are Batteries Included | No | | Battery Average Life | 20 Hours | | Best Sellers Rank | #340,543 in Electronics ( See Top 100 in Electronics ) #373 in Handheld GPS Units | | Brand | Garmin | | Built-In Media | Garmin GPSMAP 62ST handheld navigator, USB cable, and user manual | | Compatible with Vehicle Type | Car, Truck, Motorcycle, Bicycle, etc. | | Connectivity Technology | USB | | Control Method | Voice | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars (145) | | Display Type | LCD | | Global Trade Identification Number | 07537591008892 | | Human-Interface Input | Buttons | | Item Weight | 0.6 Pounds | | Manufacturer | Garmin | | Map Types | Street;Topographical | | Memory Storage Capacity | 500 MB | | Model Name | 62st | | Model Year | 2010 | | Mounting Type | Wrist Mount, found in image | | Operating System | Windows | | Resolution | 160 x 240 | | Screen Size | 2.6 Inches | | Supported Satellite Navigation System | GPS | | UPC | 753759100889 892871082618 021113180762 617407452525 763615874465 012302347585 617297054175 753759991913 | | Warranty Description | 1-year limited parts and labor | ## Product Details - **Battery Life:** 20 Hours - **Brand:** Garmin - **Connectivity Technology:** USB - **Included Components:** Garmin GPSMAP 62ST handheld navigator, USB cable, and user manual - **Map Type:** Street;Topographical - **Model Name:** 62st - **Mounting Type:** Wrist Mount, found in image - **Screen Size:** 2.6 Inches - **Special Feature:** Explore the Terrain, Get Your Bearings - **Vehicle Service Type:** Car, Truck, Motorcycle, Bicycle, etc. ## Images ![Garmin GPSMAP 62St Handheld GPS Navigator - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/619NrwgZ1PL.jpg) ![Garmin GPSMAP 62St Handheld GPS Navigator - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71T162Gy9rL.jpg) ![Garmin GPSMAP 62St Handheld GPS Navigator - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71RpSfJKn9L.jpg) ![Garmin GPSMAP 62St Handheld GPS Navigator - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71ZsMbh8TdL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Edition** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: If i was going to bury 80 million dollars in the New Mexico desert, would this device display the exact gps coordinates in degrees where the $'s burie** A: Caribbean island, sure! NM desert would be more dicey. :-)Seriously, though, it depends on what you mean by "exact." One of the fields you can display is "GPS Accuracy." Depending on weather conditions, terrain, satellite locations at the moment, and local EM interference, I've seen that number vary from 170 feet to as little as 7. Most of the time in my location and conditions it is 15 to 35 feet. If you stand in the same place for a while you will get a "splotch" of "tracks" as it keeps redetermining your location. The center average of a few dozen readings over the course of an hour should be pretty close, within a few feet I'd think. If you are in winding canyons, near steep mesas, or in other unfavorable conditions YMMV. **Q: can I insert sd card in the 62 base unit to load data** A: No. The 62 does not have a slot for a memory card. The 62S does. **Q: does this unit come preloaded with DETAILED topographic maps that include lakes, contour lines, rivers, roads etc etc.** A: This product came with several maps preloaded, including the TOPO U.S. 100K. I ordered the DVD separately for the Topo U.S. 24K because it has four times smaller resolution. It contains everything you mentioned. I believe the DVD for the 24K was about $100+ extra. Once I got the DVD I initially could not figure how to load/download it to the 62st. Fortunately the Garmin support pointed to free software that I needed downloaded to my PC before using the DVD. Once the software and DVD were installed I was able to select a portion of the 24k map and transfer it to the 62st. I was disappointed with the resolution of the 100k but the 24K is quite detailed. Overall this unit has cost me more than I was planning to invest and has been less than impressive to use and fairly hard to learn. It took me a couple of weeks to figure how to translate the deed description of my property to GPS coordinates and then translate it further into the modified format used by Garmin. I also used Google maps to attempt to determine the coordinates for my property but note that again their format is different for how minutes and seconds of an angle are calculated. I ended up with four translations before I got to an accurate mapping of the 62st - it was quite frustrating for a while.Good luck. Perhaps you are more experienced with this type of equipment. It is my first, but I'm quite skilled with a map and compass. Using the unit through thick brush where I could neither see very far ahead or walk very far in a straight line was quite disappointing. Finally to locate one of my property boundaries it was actually necessary to revert to a compass and step off about 1/4 mile. Again perhaps this says more about me being a novice user than the actual unit and map. **Q: What is the difference between the st and s, I can't seem to find out what is offered. I want the compass and altimeter.** A: ... and both have a compass and _barometric_ altimeter. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great handheld GPS and great value *by F***D on September 25, 2014* Did extensive research for years before purchasing a handheld GPS.

Though very basic, with a steep learning curve, and no longer in production, it got me started as to how these units work. Now I am planning some serious hiking in remote areas of the Nevada desert and wanted to upgrade my GPS unit. I compared them all online and finally decided on the Garmin GPSMAP 62St. I have been working with it on short hikes for 2 months each time I appreciate it more. First it has a well designed, conforms to the hand, comes with a handy carabiner for attaching to your hiking vest belt, and has a rubber-like covering that resists shock. Initial setup was easy. The menus and screens are intuitive, and one can do basic functions without even using the instruction booklet. Satellite fix is fast and accurate. Choice of screens is simple using the "page" button. The information screens can be tailored to your needs and the choices are infinite. Setting up waypoints, routes and tracks is easily performed. The screen is well lit, even in bright daylight. Accuracy in most instances is down to 10 feet. This is not a touch screen device, so no problems with cold finger tips not registering and no issues with inadvertently hitting the wrong icon. The buttons are responsive and soft. There are three varieties of this model, the base 62S, the St (topomaps) which I have, and the all in one Stc which has topo maps and a camera. If you purchase the base model and then decide that you want maps or satellite views, then this can be added later via the Garmin website. Special menus exist for geocaching, "Sight and Go", area calculation, photo viewer (photos can be downloaded for use in the field even without the camera model), and a host of other features. Routes and tracks can be downloaded for other sources and shared with others with similar devices. The included booklet is just for startup, a more detailed manual is found on the Garmin site as well as informative videos. However, more intricate information is provided by people online. Even though I am sure that the newer MAGELLAN GPS are comparable (I have not tried one yet), the high end ones are touch screen, and I prefer the use of the buttons. Finally, whether you are a beginner or more sophisticated GPS person, you will not be disappointed in this device. ## Frequently Bought Together - Garmin GPSMAP 62St Handheld GPS Navigator - Hard Storge Case Replacement for Garmin GPSMAP 67 / 67i / 66i / 79sc / 65 / 86sci /65s/66s /66st by Aenllosi - Garmin GPSMAP 67i Rugged GPS Handheld with inReach® Satellite Technology, Two-Way Messaging, Interactive SOS, Mapping --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.dk/products/1144661-garmin-gpsmap-62st-handheld-gps-navigator](https://www.desertcart.dk/products/1144661-garmin-gpsmap-62st-handheld-gps-navigator) --- *Product available on Desertcart Denmark* *Store origin: DK* *Last updated: 2026-04-23*
