GPSMAP 6. 0CSx, which has reigned supreme as the gold standard handheld GPS for more than four years. During that time, Garmin experimented with new interfaces, first with the Colorado series, and later with the Oregon and Dakota lines. These have been fine tuned through many software updates, adding things like paperless geocaching and the ability to add custom maps and aerial imagery.

Garmin models, check out my Garmin handheld GPS comparison chart. Ill discuss the display and feature set first, then look at performance. Portions of the following were adapted from my review of the previously released Garmin GPSMAP 7. Garmin GPSMAP 6. 2s display. With transflective TFT screens, the greater the pixel density, the less light that can be reflected back to the user. In order to maintain the bright screen found on the 6. Garmin left the resolution 1. Screen size remains unchanged too, at 1. The 6. 2 and 7. 8 series do enjoy an increased range of colors that can be displayed 6. The result is a bright display, not quite as large or as high resolution as the Oregon series, but with much better visibility in a wide range of conditions. I definitely noticed the lower resolution, but these are the tradeoffs you make. The only time the screen seems cramped to me is when I have a dashboard showing on the map screen discussed more below. Shown above is a photo taken in full sun, without backlight, comparing the 6. CSX and 6. 2s. It is difficult to capture screen visibility on film, but I find these two displays comparable in a wide range of conditions. Garmin GPSMAP 6. 2s interface. Garmin hit a home run on the interface. They did an excellent job taking the best aspects of the Oregon series and making it work on a non touchscreen unit. I think it is actually better than the Oregon except for when it comes to text entry, where the touchscreen excels. The 6. 27. 8 series interface makes it much quicker to navigate main menu items. A Page Ribbon menu appears when  you press the Page or Quit buttons see image at right. Just like on the 6. The Page Ribbon menu item that appears is the next screen in the sequence. After a second or two, that screen will automatically open. Or you can press Enter to go there right away, or continue pressing Page or Quit to advance to other pages in the sequence stop on one and it will open. Page Ribbon items and their order can be customized. I prefer this interface to the old style, but you may not. In that case, you can set the unit to a classic style menu and get the old 6. Page Ribbon. Heres a quick video I shot, showing a bit of the interface Newer features on the Garmin GPSMAP 6. The 6. 2 series inherited a number of features from the Colorado, Dakota andor Oregon series. These include the ability to utilize Garmin custom maps and Birds. Eye aerial imagery, a tri axial compass, new customization options, advanced track navigation, wireless data transfer and paperless geocaching. None of these were available on the 6. Ill explore each in more detail. Custom maps and Birds. Eye imagery. Garmin custom maps allows you to put just about any map image on the 6. Found a PDF park trail map online Add it to your GPS Theimage at left below shows a custom map a USGS topo raster image. You can read more about this feature by checking out my posts on Garmin custom maps. With Garmins Birds. Eye aerial imagery program, a 2. GPSMAP 6. 2s. Since I dont yet have a Birds. Eye subscription for my unit, Im showing a Jefferson Memorial aerial image using Garmin custom maps, but hey, you get the idea. Tri axial compass. Having a tri axial compass means you dont have to hold the unit level while navigating. The downside is that the calibration process is more complicated than that for a two axis electronic compass. Install Dbms_Network_Acl_Admin Package more. Its the same procedure that is used on the Dakota 2. Oregon x. 50 series heres a brief video I shot of it. The compass should be recalibrated every time you change the batteries in the unit. Customizing the Garmin GPSMAP 6. The 6. 2s offers lots of options for customization. I highly recommend you take the time to set up the following. Page sequence You can customize the page sequence by choosing Main Menu Setup Page Sequence. This will allow you to select which pages appear in the page sequence and their order. The Page and Quit buttons move forward and backwards respectively through pages. I usually put the map screen as my first page and the trip computer last this way I can toggle between them with the page and quit buttons. Profiles The 6. You can switch profiles by going to Main Menu Profile Change. Or create a new one by going to Main Menu Setup Profiles. Select the new profile to give it a name. Any changes you make in menus or other settings will be retained in that profile. So start changing things Want track up when geocaching and north up when biking No problem. How about a separate profile that just shows USGS topos or aerial imageryThe possibilities are nearly endless. Data fields You can change data fields on just about any screen that has these simply press Menu Change Data Fields. Dashboards Instead of data fields and in some cases in addition to, you can select a dashboard for the map, compass and trip computer screens. Choices depending upon page may include automotive, stopwatch, small or large data field, recreational, compass, geocaching or elevation plot. Sound Card Drivers. Ive included screenshots showing the last four below. For the trip computer and compass pages, you access this via Menu Change Dashboard. For the map screen, choose Menu Setup Map Data Fields Dashboard. The one downside here is the small screen on the 6. Track navigation With the GPSMAP 6. Waypoints are automatically generated for major high and low elevation points, and start and finish these and any user waypoints along the track are added to the route. Im a heavy user of track navigation. If I head out for a trail Ive never traveled before, I do a search online for tracks favorite search terms are. One advantage of this new track navigation feature is that, unlike typical backcountry route navigation, youll get an estimate of actual trail distance rather than as the crow flies mileage. Screenshot at right. Paperless Geocaching. The 6. 2 series is a nice GPS for geocaching, as it is set up for full paperless support, meaning you can see the description, logs, and hint, and you can log your attempt find, DNF, etc. Speaking of which, full access to these features requires a premium membership at geocaching.
