Garmin GPSmap 62s Bundle purchase at REI Portland, OR


I received a $100 REI gift card in January 2012. I spent two separate times at REI looking over the store items and did not find anything that I wanted to get. So I got a Garmin GPSmap 62s Bundle this afternoon:

Garmin GPSmap 62s - Supports paperless caching; waterproof; 3-axis tilt-compensated electronic compass; automatic routing; helix antenna; supports Custom maps, BirdsEye® Satellite imagery, and photo navigation; high-sensitivity receiver; high-speed USB and NMEA 0183 compatible; uses micro-SD card; 1.7 GB memory; barometric altimeter; sun/moon information; tide tables; area calculation; custom POIs; unit-to-unit transfer.

Info on back of the Bundle container: The GPSmap 62s features 2.6" sunlight readable screen, 3-axis tilt-compensated compass, barometric altimeter, wireless unit-to-unit transfer and 1.7 GB of storage (with expandable microSD card slot). The device comes with a download of one TOPO U.S. 24K regional map (my choice), as well as one year's access to BirdsEye Satellite Imagery. Plus an included protective case and carabiner clip make it easy for me to use and care for the Garmin GPSmap 62s.
