Garmin GPSMAP 62ST Now Shipping - New Top Handheld GPS

Garmin's new GPSMAP line is now shipping, with the top end GPSMAP 62st now available with its long list of capabilities. At the core you get a highly accurate handheld GPS with pre-loaded 100K TOPO maps, a 3-axis compass, a barometric altimeter, wireless data sharing among other Garmin wireless handhelds (it's great to beam routes, tracks and waypoints to others in the party), with a 2.6-inch sunlight readable display that makes it all come together.
Running on a pair of "AA" batteries, the GPSMAP 62st will go up to a claimed 20 hours of use. That's a lot of trails, geocaching or biking with the unit. It is also paperless geocaching capable, with the ability to download, geocache locations and mark them found with notes when you get there. You can also use BirdsEye downloadable satellite images (subscription required), and the unit comes with a micro SD card slot which makes adding additional maps a breeze.
