Comments:

I was reluctant to buy the 62s until I was sure it is a real improvement over the GPS 60csx. It is. Faster to lock on to satellites, outstanding screen clarity and loads of internal memory. My only complaint is the screen is dim in low light. The user interface may have a learning curve for beginners, but experienced Garmin users should get it quickly.

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
