Due to some circumstances I'd rather not discuss i am looking to get a new GPS. I have had the 60CSX and enjoy it. What I am wondering is if there is a big difference between that and the 62 (stc) series? Pro's - Con's or any other info you can give me. Does the 62 series come preloaded with maps? does anyone know of any sales on either unit at any stores?

Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated!

I vaguely recall hearing people switching from a 62 back to a 60csx... perhaps if some of those people are watching, this would be a good time to speak up

Or I might be completely making stuff up now...

I can't imagine switching back from a 62 to a 60 only because the 62 is a 60 but even better. Paperless, chirps, etc. were big factors for me.

Does anyone know how to delete a cache from a GPSmap 62s? I've tried everything and went over the manual on-line and cannot figure out how to do it....I've figured out how to delete a waypoint, and I've tried changing a geocache into a waypoint and deleting it, but it still stays in my cache list.

You can't delete an individual geocache from a gpx file. You can't even edit it.
All you can do is delete the entire file or edit it off on your pc and then reload it.


However you can also upload caches as waypoints instead which would allow you to use the waypoint editor and to delete individual waypoints. But you won't be able to do the paperless caching that way.

Thanks! I was able to get it done...though, it makes it a little difficult to do since you have to go by the codes, instead of the names. Now, all I have to do is be able to figure out how to work it a little easier "in the field". I'm still fumbling around trying to get to certain pages out there. Looks like it would be a better GPS if I buy the additional maps also. The ones in there show limited roads.

Geesh it is now 409.99 on Amazon. What's that all about? Last year at this time I bought the same one for $181 for someone. I should have bought one for northtrekker back then! Maybe this one is gold plated...

Question on my 62s...I loaded a few caches into it to run up the shore..then, when I turned it on, none of the caches were popping up. I only have about 39 caches loaded in, and a SD card installed, so I don't think it was too many for the memory capability...when I got home, I tried to reload them, and it said they were in the GPS, and the files on the computer indicate their presence, so where did I go wrong?

Check your settings. I had to reboot my 76CX and I couldn't see any caches either, until I adjusted my 'map' settings. Under 'setup', 'maps', and 'map points'. Try changing your zoom. I have mine set at 12mi.
