When the terrain gets tough, you can depend on the GPSMAP 62stc handheld
navigator to guide you. It has a 3-axis tilt-compensated compass, barometric
altimeter, a 5 megapixel autofocus camera and preloaded Euopean 1:100k scale
recreation maps. Inspired by the powerful GPSMAP 60 series, this rugged and
waterproof GPS combines high-precision accuracy with high functionality to brave
the demands of any terrain you dare to tackle – wherever the adventure, whatever
the activity.
Explore the Terrain
GPSMAP 62stc has a 2.6-inch sunlight-readable colour screen and comes with
built-in European 1:100k recreation maps. With street-level detail and a
worldwide basemap with shaded relief, it is ideal tools for serious climbing or
hiking. Map detail includes national and local parks and forests, along with
terrain contours, elevation information, trails, rivers, lakes and points of
interest.
Take Geotagged Pictures
Capture locations and memories with the 5-megapixel autofocus digital camera.
Each photo is automatically geotagged with the location of where it was taken,
allowing you to navigate back to that exact spot in the future. To keep track of
your photos and show their location on a map, simply use Garmin’s free BaseCamp™
software. Alternatively you can download pictures from Garmin Connect™ Photos and navigate
to them.
Get Your Bearings
GPSMAP 62stc has a built-in 3-axis tilt-compensated electronic compass, which
helps you get your orientation and points you towards your destination even when
you’re standing still, without holding it level. Its barometric altimeter tracks
changes in pressure to pinpoint your precise altitude. View elevation and
profile on the altimeter screen and you can even plot barometric pressure over
time to keep an eye on changing weather conditions.
Share Wirelessly
With GPSMAP 62stc you can share your waypoints, tracks, routes and geocaches
wirelessly with other compatible Garmin GPS handhelds. So now your friends can
also enjoy your favourite hike or cache — simply press “send” to transfer your
information to similar units, and let the games begin.
Keep Your Fix
With a quad helix antenna and high-sensitivity, WAAS/EGNOS-enabled GPS
receiver with HotFix® satellite prediction, GPSMAP 62stc has unparalleled
reception to locate your position quickly and precisely and maintains its GPS
location even in heavy cover and deep valleys. 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.
Enhance Your Adventures
With space to store up to 2000 waypoints and 200 routes, GPSMAP 62stc’s
detailed route planning and tracking helps you navigate from point-to-point and
keep track of your journey as you go. As you navigate to a destination on an
active track, you can view upcoming elevation changes together with waypoints
and key stages along the route for a clear picture of the journey ahead. And
with customisable display, you can tailor GPSMAP 62stc’s dashboard to show you
the details you need on your adventure.
Add Maps
Adding more maps is easy with Garmin's wide array of detailed topographic,
marine and road maps. You can conveniently plug in Garmin GB
Discoverer™ mapping for OS Explorer (1:25k) and OS Landranger (1:50k) detail
on your handheld. Search, select and navigate to points of interest and street
addresses and follow the route on foot, in the car with turn-by-turn routing or
by bike with an Ordnance Survey backdrop. Add BlueChart®
g2 preloaded cards for a great day on the water or City Navigator NT®
map data for routing on roads in the UK and further afield (see maps tab for
compatible maps). Or download customised sections of premium raster-based maps
onto your device with BirdsEye™
Select 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. Put your favourite paper or digital maps on
GPSMAP® 62stc by converting details, labels and landmarks from other maps and
informal plans like ski piste routes, mountain bike trails or charity treks into
tailored content that’s ready to navigate. Plan your route, Survey the terrain,
and geotag photos on your computer, then load the data to your outdoor device
with our free downloadable software BaseCamp™
