The GPSMap 62 and 78 series are the replacements for the venerable 60 and 76 models which have served us well for many years (and continue to serve well for many people).
I sold my 60 to buy an Oregon when I saw the higher resolution screen on the more modern unit.
Unfortunately it died while on a trip so I ended up getting the 62, and I like it a lot.
It has a more legible screen than the Oregon series, under most conditions, and especially when riding on the bike.
For those who want the 60/76 menu style, the 62/78 has a profile called "Classic" which does the trick.
Mounting the 62 on a bike:
RAM does not have a mount yet for the 62 but the 60 mount works reasonably well. Garmin has gone away from the button on the back which RAM used as part of their mount, so a complete redesign is probably necessary.
But when I bought my 62 I needed something to hold it so we tried the 60 mount and the bottom of the 62 fits snugly into the holder, and a heavy duty elastic band holds the top in very well. In about 1500 kilometers of motorcycle riding so far, it has not come off once. I do have it tethered to my handlebars, though, just in case.
