I would go one "level" up.I work in Asia and Africa...not so accurate all times. Not the most user friendly and very basic.Also make sure you able to upgrade it with additional countries.

It is very good in rugged terrain. If you are in a very steep canyon with high mountains, you will have trouble. I do not know what a non-GPS area is.

I think it depends on what are you looking for, the filters i did to choose back in the day when I was looking for a GPS were: big screen, worldwide edition and free updates. Nowdays a cellphone does most of the gps functions and your avoid having another gadget with you. The garwin brand its top line and I have used it when I do rentals cars, my advice its go to your local store and see both models and then buy it thru amazon, remember quality its based and its different from each individual standards.

I'm also looking to a GPS that will let me locate precise locations of cemeteries. Did any one answer your question.

Hello,My experience with the GPSMAP 62 was not very good. The unit froze up several times during use and each time I had to restart the unit. Coworkers of mine use the GPSMAP 60 and really like it and I have heard the GPSMAP 64 is a good model. I recently purchased a Garmin Etrex 30 and I love it. I paid $200 and it's worth every penny. The new GLONASS technology in the etrex 30 is outstanding, I can be in the thickest timber canopy and still have >20' accuracy. I hope this helps.

I have a echomap 70s and is works very well with that GPS. If your model can use the G2 map ten it is worth the price.

As long as your country/territory is satellite equipped, mapped or Garmin compatible etc..

Thanks BAN. Yeah I'm a hobbyist when it comes to cycling, so I'm sure the GPS will be able to pick me up on the roads . I know there are apps and such for Android / iPhone that do similar things, but I think this looks like a nice unit.

I've never owned a GPS before. Is this a good one? Is it better to buy one with lifetime traffic updates included?

ok for work or for personal use or both? now it you gonna need a gps that is I turn it on and its ready then this isn't it unless you got a good signal from the start 3G and all. But it is very dependable.

I have used Garmin GPS units of several types, in the car and hand held, in the USA. I haven't taken them out of the states, but they are very dependable and never given me any reason to doubt their accuracy. You can buy them with maps for any country. Just make sure you get it loaded with the map you need and you will have a great GPS.

This has maps of my area, so I would say yes. Also, u can download maps to your computer and upload them to the Garmin.

Good Eveining,The GPS is normally the current maps of USA and CANADA. I would assume that they would be the up to date ones. For the updates you would probably have to speak with the manufacturer. Unfortunately the cost is your decision. There are pros and cons for GPS so i would just think about if it is worth it to you financially.Thank you.

I would not use the Garmin's monitor feature. I use Polar's "F" series they are accurate and dependable. I have been using thgem since late 1999 and have founbd them to be the best on the market.

That will be the least of your problems.The design is poor. It's difficult and sometimes impossible to connect to the website.I suggest getting a Groman GPS watch, a much better investment.
