We use 62's for work all the time (forestry), and all our units are now 2-3 years old. None have had any issues, are easy to use and are reliable in the tight bush. I probably wouldn't go with anything else as they've been so good for us.

Had a bad run with battery and reliability problems with a Magellan eXplorist 510 out of warranty barely ever used.
You can get 64s are $402 from triginstruments in Wellington. Better accuracy than a 62s.
On my phone and can't work out how to edit my last post. Also meant to add that the 64s also uses GLONASS (Russian GPS) in addition to gps. Heaps quicker to pick up a location in the bush
This has to be the most convincing poll ever on here, 22-nil in favor of the 62s.
I have the 62s but have never seen a magellan so didnt vote.
Ive been looking at the alpha, one that comes with tracking collars. I like the way it works. You can communicate with other Alpha displays and see where they are along with the pooch (s). But I have not yet got the gorse out of my pockets
I brought a garmin dakota 20 and it does the job nicely
Had a 62 cs? From 2008? Bloody good. Used in nz for a tester, mongolia, west africa, all with no fault. Frooze it and baked it (-35 to +45 c), then gave to brother in law in mongolia 5 years ago, and still going. Likes batteries though. Not to sure on map up grades for them though.
