after much thought I finally decide on buy the Garmin 62 . before I buy the 62 I have a garmin Legend Cx . this be a nice unit for its time . I have purchase the Legend Cx for geocach . well all these year later I be still geocach and want to find a device that would give I better reception under tree cover . so after review all the Garmin option I go with the Garmin 62 . as of now I have yet to use it outside . I have basically unboxed the unit and connect it to my computer and run the firmware update . I also buy the Garmin 24k topo map to install on the 62 . my biggest worry about the 62 be that I could not add a memory card to it to get more space . well ... I have download all of the topo map for New england -lrb- and I mean all of they -rrb- and I have just barely use a quarter of the 1.7 gb the unit come with ! Whhew ! this be my big worry ... so if you be concern about this ... do not be . later I may buy the lake topo but I suspect I will find the same thing , plenty of space . many reviewer say the 62 squeek . well mine do not . not even a sound when I turn it on , so no worry there . the unit iself fit nicely into the palm of you hand , feel very sturdy and have a good size screen , not huge mind you , but still bigger than the one I have on my Legend cx . the unit take about 60-90 seconds to initialize -lrb- inside my house -rrb- and then it find 7 or 8 sat . not bad for INSIDE . I take this evening to figure out how to donload gpx file into my unit for geocach -lrb- since I buy my gf a Garmin for Christmas I need to update mine , of course ! -rrb- we be plan on go geocach together so I want to get a number of gpx file into my 62 . firstly , you will need a Premium membership on Geocaching.com -lrb- $ 30 -rrb- in order to download gpx file . you will also need to update you gecaching profile to support gpx 1.1 format , this be do under the preference on the geocach website . get gpx file into the 62 be quite easy after you have install the Garmin software on you computer . basically just go to the cache , select the cache you wish to find and click on the small copy gpx icon to the far right ... and bam , the file be there , description , hint , log and all . so far I be very pleased with the unit . I also buy the Garmin 62 case and the clip attachment . I would suggest you skip the Garmin 60 series case and look for something that be larger to protect you device . the Garmin clip be very good and hold the unit solidly . so no worry on it fall off . I also buy some nimh battery so I could recharge after each outing , the unit actually have a setting for nimh which be very cool . after I have have the unit in the field I will report back on what I find ... but so far so good ! I can hardly wait to get out there and find some of those geocach hide under thick tree cover !
