    Question Garmin GPSMap 62s Upgrade - Performance Experience?

    Hi,

    I'm planning some hikes this year in the Tirol. I've got a very old GPSMap62s with Austria Topo maps on, works pretty well but I find it a bit slow on scrolling around. This performance was a feature since day 1 of owning it.

    Are the later Garmin GPSMap devices faster? Interested in experience of the 65 or 66 series..

    Thanks.

    The 66sr is a completely different experience. My 66sr is the first GPSr I grab every time I leave the house. Amazing navigator!

    The 66SR is a very good GPS unit.

    I spend time over here when it comes to Handheld GPS units

    Lots of good info there......

    Thanks both for the feedback and also that link. I did think the current generation devices would be a step on from my >10 year old device. Great job from Garmin, will look out for a deal on an 66SR. Should be a nice match for my InReach Mini!
