Speak to Mountain Rescue Teams across the country and you will be bombarded with tales about people who got hopelessly lost rely on technology (like Smart Phone) that designed to help you get to work in the morning rather than taking them of a mountain in a howling gale.
No bit of technology that relies on battery should ever replace your ability to navigate with map and compass, but the Garmin 62s can be a really valuable addition to your outdoor kit.
In this video, we show you that its all layed out in a very logical way and everything is easily assessable and having actual physical buttons, means you can use it without taking your gloves of, not something that you can do with a touch screen phone.
During the filming, the weather obliged us perfectly, allowing Matt (a mountain guide) to show Ollie to show exactly when a GPS is most useful, navigating a tricky descent in bad weather.
