Includes:: the GPSMAP 62s & the GB Discoverer full UK Ordnance Survey 1:50k Landranger digital mapping (worth £200.00). The heart of this brilliant device is Garmins High Sensitivity GPS receiver that is WAAS/EGNOS & GLONASS-enabled with Hot Fix satellite prediction, GPSMAP 62s locates your position quicker & more precisely thanks to the external high sensitivity quad helix antenna & hangs onto the signal even in heavy cover & steep sided valleys. The GPSMAP 62s can track both GPS & GLONASS satellites simultaneously. GLONASS is a system developed by the Russian Federation, & when linked to these satellites, the time it takes for the receiver to “lock on” to a position is (on average) Approx. 20 percent faster than using GPS alone. When using both GPS & GLONASS, the receiver has the ability to lock on to 24 more satellites than using standard GPS. The GPSMAP 62s features the usual Garmin full route navigation, with space to store up to 2000 Waypoints, 200 routes & automatically recorded Tracklogs. This rugged device features a built-in 3-axis electronic compass with accelerometer tilt compensation that will show your bearing when you are stationary & not holding the device level. A barometric altimeter gives precise altitude readings & you can use it track weather patterns to help you plan your day & route accordingly. The display screen can be customised to show the data & all menus & data entry is accessed by the buttons, rather than touchscreen, making the GPSMAP easier to use with gloves on.
