If you use the GPSMAP 62S for in-vehicle navigation (with optional mapping), the map page will show your position as a triangle, the road you are on, and other roads around you. Key in or pick a destination (number, street, suburb) from a list, and the GPSMAP 62S will calculate the route for you, either quickest or shortest. The selected route shows as a wide bright line, and will now prompt you to move in the direction of the route with beeps at each turn. Everything on the map is to scale, just like a street directory.

The GPSMAP 62S also includes Garmin's TracBack Feature, which allows you to retrace your path back to where you started. With the GPSMAP 62S, you can measure an area for farming and other rural and marine applications. Area measurement is simple and fast. Just walk, drive or ride around the perimeter to be measured, press a button, and there you have it. A really productive feature for farmers, botanists, agronomists, graziers, oyster and fish culture, salt-works... etc etc. For farming, agriculture, agronomy, aquaculture and related endeavours, the GPSMAP 62S measures distances and directions between points, and area measurements.
