Review: ottimo prodotto in una categoria in continua evoluzione, attenzione questo è il modello di punta senza cartografia precaricata (con un minimo di dimestichezza si trova facilmente online da scaricare anche la versione open source) e senza la fotocamera integrata. Secondo me è il miglior modello per chi non ama il touch screen (montana) e non vuole spendere centinaia di euro in piu per fotocamera e mappe precaricate. E' estremamente pratico e sembra robusto, ottimi i tasti grossi utilizzabili anche coi guanti, la durata delle batterie (comuni stilo) a me dura piu di tre giorni. A dire il vero utilizzandolo solo quando 'serve' potrebbero durare molto di piu. Prende egregiamente il segnale e in modo rapido. Non lo ho usato in auto come navigatore (credo che non sarebbe il massimo soprattutto con la cartografia open source) ma solo in trekking. Uniche pecche: -schermo che mi si è già un po rigato (immaginarsi il modello touch screen...) -funzioni 'avanzate' richiedono secondo me un po di studio sul manuale online, intuitive invece le funzioni base. Consigliato Review: 単独登山をする方は、必携だと思います。 カシミール3Dとの相性が、非常に良いです。 【良い点】 ・単三乾電池２本で動作します。 コンビニさえあれば、いつでも補充できますね。 ・最高使用時間２４ｈというのも、安心。 ・旧ＧＰＳですと、水平に持ち運んでログを集積しないと精度が 上がりませんでしたが、GPSmap62sは、斜めに持ち歩いても大丈夫だそうです。 ・登山中は、手が汚いです。でも、GPSmap62sにスリップケース装着すれば、 本体は全く汚れません。 ・遭難や迷子の確率が、確実に下がります。 【注意すべき点】 ・ショップによって、ショップオリジナルの日本語マニュアルを、 付けてくれたり付けてくれなかったりします。 ・地図は、付いていません。 マイクロＳＤに地図を落として、装着します。 噂では、日本語地図は、日本語GARMINでしか活用できないそうです。 ・マイクロＳＤの地図は、別のモールで買いました。。。 【私の使い方】 ＰＣ用に、「改訂新版 カシミール3D入門編」と「改訂新版 カシミール3D GPS応用編」を購入し、 地図を結合する事を、強くおすすめします。 地図の結合の方法は、下記です。 １．「改訂新版 カシミール3D GPS応用編」をインストール ２．「改訂新版 カシミール3D入門編」の地図フォルダを、１．で生成された同じフォルダに上書き。 ３．その後、「改訂新版 カシミール3D GPS応用編」にある２．で上書いたフォルダに、 もう一度、対象のフォルダだけ上書き。 こうすると、関東甲信越〜沖縄までの、1/25,000 がＰＣ上に網羅されます。 登山に1/25,000 が必要なのは、周知の事実。 国土地理院では、ＧＰＳ連携しないし、、、 やはり、カシミールはすばらしいです。 以下、私の愛用カシミール＆GPSmap62sフロー。 ・カシミールでWay_Pointを、とにかくたくさん作る。 ・Way_Pointを連続クリックしてカシミールの断面図を作り、ペース配分を検討する。 ・PC→GPS へ、Way_Pointをインターフェイス。 ・登山する。 ・GPSログのカレントデータを、PCへ。 ・一眼のフォトも、カシミールに足してみる。 ・なぜに登山にこんなに時間がかかったのか、反省する。 ・ヤマレコにあげる。 …、単独登山は反省の嵐です。 でも、このフローを踏まないと、遭難して、もっと反省する事になると思います。 楽しい空の旅を。 ジェットエンジンではなく自分の足で。 改訂新版 カシミール3D入門編 改訂新版 カシミール3D GPS応用編 ## Features - Rugged handheld navigator 2.6-inch, sunlight-readable TFT display with 160 x 240 pixel resolution - Built-in worldwide basemap with shaded relief; download Garmin Connect photos for picture navigation - Built-in 3-axis tilt-compensated electronic compass and barometric altimeter for bearing and altitude - Share your waypoints, tracks, routes and geocaches wirelessly with other compatible Garmin device users - 1.7G of onboard memory and microSD card slot for adding a wide array of topographic, marine and road maps ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B003IHV6YG | | Additional Features | Barometric Altimeter, Custom Pois, Garmin Connect Compatible, Geocaching, Hunt-Fish Calendar, Photo Navigation | | Are Batteries Included | No | | Battery Average Life | 20 Hours | | Brand | Garmin | | Compatible with Vehicle Type | Car, Truck | | Connectivity Technology | USB | | Control Method | Push Button | | Customer Reviews | 4.3 4.3 out of 5 stars (378) | | Display Type | TFT | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00075375910087, 00753759100872 | | Human-Interface Input | Buttons | | Item Part Number | 0100086801 | | Item Weight | 0.21 Kilograms | | Manufacturer | Garmin | | Map Types | Street;Topographical | | Memory Storage Capacity | 1724 MB | | Mfr Part Number | 010-00868-01 | | Model Name | GPSMAP 62s | | Model Number | 010-00868-01 | | Model Year | 2010 | | Mounting Type | found in image | | Resolution | 160 x 240 | | Screen Size | 2.6 Inches | | Supported Satellite Navigation System | GPS | | UPC | 168141454974 075375910087 803982785916 763615874441 617407543117 753759100872 | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Garmin - **Model name:** GPSMAP 62s - **Screen size:** 2.6 Inches - **Vehicle service type:** Car, Truck ## Images ![Garmin GPSMAP 62S Handheld GPS Navigator - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61Abb2Xw9HL.jpg) ![Garmin GPSMAP 62S Handheld GPS Navigator - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41zHIBjHIgL.jpg) ![Garmin GPSMAP 62S Handheld GPS Navigator - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/31cxIGyVxtL.jpg) ![Garmin GPSMAP 62S Handheld GPS Navigator - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41WRjtl0GjL.jpg) ![Garmin GPSMAP 62S Handheld GPS Navigator - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41gb7-PfcmL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: If i was going to bury 80 million dollars in the New Mexico desert, would this device display the exact gps coordinates in degrees where the $'s burie** A: Caribbean island, sure! NM desert would be more dicey. :-)Seriously, though, it depends on what you mean by "exact." One of the fields you can display is "GPS Accuracy." Depending on weather conditions, terrain, satellite locations at the moment, and local EM interference, I've seen that number vary from 170 feet to as little as 7. Most of the time in my location and conditions it is 15 to 35 feet. If you stand in the same place for a while you will get a "splotch" of "tracks" as it keeps redetermining your location. The center average of a few dozen readings over the course of an hour should be pretty close, within a few feet I'd think. If you are in winding canyons, near steep mesas, or in other unfavorable conditions YMMV. **Q: can I insert sd card in the 62 base unit to load data** A: No. The 62 does not have a slot for a memory card. The 62S does. **Q: does this unit come preloaded with DETAILED topographic maps that include lakes, contour lines, rivers, roads etc etc.** A: This product came with several maps preloaded, including the TOPO U.S. 100K. I ordered the DVD separately for the Topo U.S. 24K because it has four times smaller resolution. It contains everything you mentioned. I believe the DVD for the 24K was about $100+ extra. Once I got the DVD I initially could not figure how to load/download it to the 62st. Fortunately the Garmin support pointed to free software that I needed downloaded to my PC before using the DVD. Once the software and DVD were installed I was able to select a portion of the 24k map and transfer it to the 62st. I was disappointed with the resolution of the 100k but the 24K is quite detailed. Overall this unit has cost me more than I was planning to invest and has been less than impressive to use and fairly hard to learn. It took me a couple of weeks to figure how to translate the deed description of my property to GPS coordinates and then translate it further into the modified format used by Garmin. I also used Google maps to attempt to determine the coordinates for my property but note that again their format is different for how minutes and seconds of an angle are calculated. I ended up with four translations before I got to an accurate mapping of the 62st - it was quite frustrating for a while.Good luck. Perhaps you are more experienced with this type of equipment. It is my first, but I'm quite skilled with a map and compass. Using the unit through thick brush where I could neither see very far ahead or walk very far in a straight line was quite disappointing. Finally to locate one of my property boundaries it was actually necessary to revert to a compass and step off about 1/4 mile. Again perhaps this says more about me being a novice user than the actual unit and map. **Q: What is the difference between the st and s, I can't seem to find out what is offered. I want the compass and altimeter.** A: ... and both have a compass and _barometric_ altimeter. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by F***S on 30 August 2012* ottimo prodotto in una categoria in continua evoluzione, attenzione questo è il modello di punta senza cartografia precaricata (con un minimo di dimestichezza si trova facilmente online da scaricare anche la versione open source) e senza la fotocamera integrata.
