Garmin has incorporated new technology such as wireless transmission between capable units. Map coverage is never a concern since the 62S has 1.7 GB of internal memory and microSD expansion. 3. Delorme PN60W with SPOT With their all new Canadian topographic map coverage Delorme is a worthy opponent for Garmin in the North American handheld GPS market. The PN60W bundle is perfect for long-haul travelers, with North American topo maps preloaded and the SPOT device sending progress updates to loved ones. 2.
