Title: Question re. 62S features
Post by: Seldom on May 27, 2011, 07:04:44 PM
Now that REI's selling a 62S for 279.99 I'm wondering whether to buy it or not.

Features I miss on my OR300 that I had on my 60 CSX are the external antenna port and the round Garmin serial port.  From what I can see on the Garmin's 62S page the 62S has neither of those ports.

Can a 62S owner please confirm that?

If I'm right, since I don't geocache, the only benefits of a 62S over my OR300 would be the 3 axis compass, an easier to read screen, and, perhaps, the buttons.

Thanks, in advance.

It doesn't have the serial port(the gpsmap78 series does) but does have an MCX antenna port
