Garmin GPSMAP 620 Review

Posted on November 8, 2010

There should be a new category of the chart just above the handheld. It is a niche Garmin in recent years have explored with great success, first with the GPSMAP 278, and now with the GPSMAP 620, a miniature version of its new Smart Touch-Screen range of plotters.

Not with the nuvi series, which was aimed primarily at motorists with a nod to liberalize maritime use are confused, the GPSMAP 620 has definitely focus on a Marine but can be used in the car, but you’ll need the car kit and cards separately yet. On board the 5.2in screen comes into its own, so that one of the few portable plotter to be used for realistic large enough passage planning. It is also large enough that on a small boat, you could the device to the cabin with the included stand and read it from the top.

The brackets are clever device knows whether it is in a marine or car cradle and switched mode accordingly. We have tried the device on the water like a portable chartplotter. The screen has worked well for a number of angles, and though it struggled in bright light was never completely illegible.

At full brightness the battery draws, however, and the device is entering us to be recharged after four hours of operation, suggesting that if you plan to use it regularly on board, the installation of the charger is a must. Like the larger touchscreen plotter, the interface is a snap to use. If the plotter is turned on, it displays a home screen on the back at any time by pressing the Home button at the top left of the display. This screen provides links to the charts and GPS data, an MOB button and the setup pages.

Using the chart is intuitive. Just move your finger to pan around the screen, while the + – buttons to zoom control at the bottom of the screen. Both are amazingly smooth, its only if you wait for a large amount of zoom and pan very quickly that you have until the screen redraws, try. Adding a waypoint is just simply touch the place on the map to waypoint, tap waypoint on the menu that appears on the side of the screen.

There are several options for routing. Compared with the conventional method of stringing together a series of waypoints Garmin may seem backwards, but the methods seem very logical to use. First, choose a destination. This is usually either by tapping the map to your destination or select a waypoint reached via the Where? Button on the front page, although you can also points of interest, the search for a place to navigate by name or follow a previously recorded route or track.

You can then set up a straight course (favorite), or by the choice of route option that you can work backward from your goal to introduce monitoring of the card is about to take you around obstacles and shallow areas. Or if you’re really lazy and have great confidence in the electronics to choose leaders who automatically Route mapped Avoid hazards.There a series of chart-view options other than the traditional top-down view, namely seamen bird’s-eye view, which allows you a 3D view of the chart view, to fish bird’s eye view shows underwater topography, and Angel cards that remove buoys and landmarks information, showing detailed contours of the seabed.

The GPSMAP 620 is not as flexible as Garmin’s range of fixed plotter, as it is based on NMEA 0183 Garmin proprietary network instead, so no entry will take over from their radar and sonar units. Nevertheless, it is a useful, fully waterproof stand-alone unit that supports AIS and DSC, making it a practical option as well as primary plotter on a small boat or portable on a charter holiday.
