Here’s a snippet from GPS Tracklog’s Garmin GPSMAP 62st review:

It’s finally here… The Garmin GPSMAP 62st brings a long-awaited update to the fabled and much-loved GPSMAP 60CSx, which has reigned supreme as the gold standard handheld GPS for more than four years. During that time, Garmin experimented with new interfaces, first with the Colorado series, and later with the Oregon and Dakota lines. These have been fine-tuned through many software updates, adding things like paperless geocaching and the ability to add custom maps and aerial imagery.

The Garmin Dakota 20 is a smaller version of Garmin’s successful Oregon models. It appears poised to replace the eTrex series, bringing all of the Oregon’s touch screen goodness while retaining the eTrex’s small form factor, light weight and long battery life.

Amazon has the Garmin eTrex 10 Worldwide Handheld GPS Navigator on sale for $109 with free shipping. This is a great deal on a new entry-level model that offers paperless geocaching support.

Here’s a snippet from GPS Tracklog’s hands on Garmin eTrex 10 review:

The Garmin eTrex 10 is Garmin’s new entry-level unit in the recently updated eTrex series. It offers paperless geocaching, GPS+GLONASS and advanced track navigation, but has a monochrome screen, limited memory and cannot accept detailed maps (although you can see your track and waypoints, as pictured above).

GPS City, one of our favorite low-cost vendors is offering the Garmin Montana 650 for $499.95 this weekend. This is a great deal on a wonderful dual-use unit, which can be used to guide you on trails as well as around town. This deal is valid until Monday, March 5, so don’t delay! UPDATE: The deal is still on as of Wednesday, March 7, so I’m leaving it posted.

Here’s a snippet from GPS Tracklog’s Garmin Montana 650 review:

The Montana series has some great features – a larger and somewhat brighter touchscreen that can rotate between portrait and landscape orientations, an interface that makes it much easier to access settings and switch functions, and a dashboard that can slide out of the way to give you a full screen map view. The ability, at additional cost, to set it up for a nuvi-like highway routing experience is another big plus. I love not having to send trailhead waypoints to another unit.
