Dunno about the 62 and etrex. I have the 62 for hiking/biking/skiing/water and it's amazing for that, but on the bike it's too small. Garmin app or gaia app for tracks on my iphone and a steering mount is way better.

your phone is not water or bug proof and is hard to see in the sunlight and doesn't have a 25+hours battery life... just saying.

I use rechargeable NiMH batteries (about 2000mAh) and I told the GPS I'm using that type of battery. Saturday I went for a 10hour ride. I turned on my GPS in the morning and turned it off when I got home. I don't use the back light. Checking the battery level on the GPS there was one bar out of the four gone.What batteries do you use to get 25h? I never keep my 62 on while hiking/skiing. I just turn it on check what I need to check and shut it right down. I get lots of days of use like that out of alkaline batteries. I doubt I would get more than 12 hours of always on use. The Garmin rechargeables I got in the box suck. I really should give eneloops a try. Sent from the future using my GOLDEN iPhone 30 SS n
