I had been saving up and finally bit the bullet and bought a 62s.  It worked like a charm for a couple of days as I loaded maps, got ready for a trip...

Last night, I turned it on and just about after 10 seconds, the screen faded and then went dark.  Of course, I thought the batteries were dead.  I checked them 1.48 volts.  So I put in brand new alkalines.  Still the same result.

If I'm doing something wrong, please tell me.  Otherwise, I think I got a lemon and it's going back to REI.

Question - Until now, I've been relying on maps, compass and my Forerunner 305.  Should I forget the new GPS altogether and go buy some cool new Danner boots? :)
