The 62s is a good bet. Prior to picking up mine I managed to get a 60csx from cash converters for about $150 and that was a perfectly usable model gps. The big thing I found with them is the better the map you use, the faster it chews through batteries. Using a 1:50,000 topo map, the 60 would chew through the batteries in under 10 hours, using very lightly. For normal use I ended up using the less detailed maps to maximise battery life.
The other thing to beware of is that some gps have an internal battery that isn't changable and once that is stuffed, the gps is almost useless. I had that happen with a gps 12xl that I got second hand from the nz antarctic program

Hey gibo. Do you know where I can get some Marine charts to go on my 62sc? At a cheap/realistic price Originally Posted by Gibo

I'll have a look around. I think I have bluechart on an SD card that I used to use for my 62. That is if my brother hasn't "borrowed" it

They don't really wear out though unlike a 1000 round " only fired 3 boxes of ammo" rifle
