[Garmin GPS handhelds Garmin62sc evaluation report] let me even more powerful artifact - a generation of machine emperor: Garmin GPS handheld Ga

January 10, 2023

After playing outdoors for many years and led by outdoor team for many years, I know the importance of safety. I remember when a famous leader came to the outdoors and said something to me: I often play with my hands, GPS and GPS devices. Therefore, GPS is an indispensable equipment, but because of economic strength has been using relatively low-end equipment. The unguided crossing in the uninhabited area of Xinjiang, which was just completed in September, made me very depressed. Low-end GPS often cannot receive signals in the valleys and cannot use trajectory guidance. The danger can be imagined.

Garmin, an outdoor GPS device brand, was known for a long time. Garmin's popularity and reputation in ALICE were all No. 1. However, because its price is also similar to No. 1, Garmin always dares to dare to be undecided. Finally waiting to be able to personally use the GarminGPS the opportunity, and I am even more excited is that actually got the hands of a high-end 62sc known as the king.

Take a look at its various parameters:

The parameter indicates that the aircraft performance is very powerful, haha. Although the 2.6-inch screen is not large, for the 62sc button-type operation, the screen already occupies two thirds of the body (not the external antenna). The screen resolution of 160x240 is slightly general.

The wide and narrow outer shape design on the body makes the user feel comfortable holding hands and buttons. In addition to the power switch on the side of the fuselage, the other buttons are all in the lower third of the front of the body, relative to more and more With more touch screen devices, in the field environment, one thumb of a hand can complete the operation of all the functions of the traditional touch-tone design, and the individual feels more professional. The rubber-like texture of the shell grip does not make the hands feel cold in the cold, and the friction of this material is very large and will not easily slip from the hands.

The antenna is a four-spiral external antenna. Compared to this design, it will be better than the internal antenna to receive signals. It is not a professional, but has to guess according to the appearance.

The battery cover switch on the back of the fuselage adopts the design of swivel pull ring, which greatly facilitates the replacement of the battery, and even if it is worn in cold winter, the battery can be easily replaced. [attach]1248958[/attach]

Open the battery compartment cover, TF expansion card slot is located under the battery compartment, to avoid the outer slot of the fuselage to reduce the waterproof performance.

On the back is also equipped with a 500-megapixel camera, GPS can take pictures and sent photos will load coordinate information, so you can use the photos as a waypoint navigation, it is really exciting, because there are many photos on Google maps, you will need The photo is imported into the 62sc navigation, so you can use photos to control the real situation of the waypoint. A standard USB interface is hidden on the left side of the camera. Connecting to a computer makes it easy to read the data in the handheld and the data in the expansion card without special procedures. Simple operation is king. The included climbing buckles are just enough to hang the handset on the backpack, freeing your hands without having to repeatedly retrieve them from your pocket. The new machine will not be used to hand, hurry to read the instructions, to collect information on 62sc to the Xiaobiao Xiong Forum, after two days and two nights of fighting, and finally get the map, track and other aspects of the installation and use. Although it could not be obtained before going through the no-man's land of Xinjiang, it has lost a very valuable evaluation opportunity in a harsh environment, but every weekend can take it to the mountains surrounding Beijing to exert its power. Xinjiang returned for more than ten days. It has not yet climbed the mountain. The weather was good on Sunday, October 14th. It took 62sc to go to the Big Eight. The boot search is very fast, before the use of other brands of GPS must wait at least 1 minute to search for the signal every time, 62sc boot less than half a minute on OK. The quadrifilar helix antenna and built-in high-sensitivity GPS receiver chip, together with GARMIN's HotFix satellite positioning technology, make satellite positioning fast and accurate. Breathed 28 kilometers of mountain road in one breath, sweating really comfortable, go home and turn on the machine and look at the data again [attach]1248971[/attach]

5 hours and 29 minutes of travel time, 54.19 seconds of intermediate stay, and a total mileage of 28.52 kilometers. The data is clear at a glance. It's so convenient.

Then connect the 62sc to the computer, do not have to import the data into the computer, open the software can directly read the handheld track saved in the track and view the analysis of the data [attach] 1248990 [/ attach]

Move the cursor to a certain point of the curve will automatically display the data parameters of the point, which is very intuitive.

62sc photos can be displayed directly on the map

Then take a look at the 62sc 5 megapixel built-in camera:

The photo is very clear, and with coordinates information can be used as a waypoint navigation

From October 21 to October 22 this weekend, continue to test the outdoor area and continue to test 62sc. This time, Huang Caoliang encamped. It turned on at 21:00 on the 21st, and it was switched off at 6 o'clock in the evening when it arrived at the camp and the record of the day was not saved. The track of other people is used for navigation. After selecting navigation, the cursor is moved. The distance (Km), azimuth, and cursor coordinates of the current position from the cursor are automatically displayed at the top of the screen, which is very intuitive.

It rained on the 22nd and started at 13:30 pm. The track recorded on the previous day was still there. It was almost raining down and tested the waterproof performance of the 62sc. In order to test the waterproof, the 62sc was deliberately hung on the shoulder strap of the backpack. In the rain, 15:30 down the mountain, the rain flowed down the handheld, but still clearly shows the map, track, operation of the various buttons are normal, satisfactory. However, the camera did not take photos due to rain and failed to leave test photos.

On the way down the mountain, the battery level is low, but it can continue to be used. The battery is automatically shut down after about 300 meters from the end of the battery. The 2400mah two AA rechargeable batteries were not replaced after the 14th day of the test. Accumulatively used for 15 hours, 16 more than in the manual. Hours have a little bit of in and out, this may be all the way to increase the power consumption. However, this battery life has made me very satisfied with the used handset. The battery life is directly related to the weight of the battery in the long-term hiking.
How can I miss the autumn leaves on October 27? The Mutianyu Great Wall looks at the leaves and can continue to test the 62sc. This time it inadvertently tested the performance of the search and reception of signals in the blocked Great Wall and the beacon of the Great Wall. It did not appear to be in the room when the signal was satisfactory. Whether to continue to search for stars, it seems that this four-spiral external antenna is indeed powerful. Unfortunately, I did not take a photo of the star search screen. You must fill it up next time.

The simple blend of colors and nature is even more atmospheric

Look at the software analysis of data and waveforms are always very fulfilling

Summary: Each time with the 62sc uphill always feel both excited and practical, although there are some 62c-specific performance has not completely let them fully play their role, but 62sc performance has made me particularly excited, 62sc's powerful features make people Outdoors, my heart is really very practical. For me who loves the outdoors, as a team leader, the powerful function of 62sc made me even more powerful. When I led the team, I had ample safety guarantee.
