Thread: GARMIN GPS62

Hi guys Im looking at a Garmin gps62 on trade me, do you have this model , how have you found it? Also as it doesnt take a SD card how easy is it to down load topo maps onto it. Many Thanks.

Hi Mohawk660 I am looking at getting one of these as well. The best place I have found for them is PBTech for the 62s for around $500

PB Tech - HHDGAR0065 : GARMIN GPSMAP 62s 1.7GB Rugged USB colour outdoor handheld 2.6" LCD built-in basemap w/GPS receiver HotFix &3-axis compass &barometric altimeter warranted by 0800427652

Regards John

Thanks John, is that $500 with or without the topo maps?

If you go to the site Garmin have a bonus free topo maps with sales from 1 August to 31 October for all units sold. See link

Garmin Outdoor Topo Maps Redemption

I am a bit pissed as I have just got one of these off ebay and was hoping to use the free maps. I see however you need to provide proof of purchase etc. It is second hand so I will be out of luck I assume and need to buy fresh maps or something? Not so cheap anymore Ha ha.

Hi R93 you can get free ones at they are good but not as good as the garmin ones. Cheers John
