I have a Garmin 62S. </div><div><br></div><div>1. I have read a few folks saying that they keep their GPS on continually/never turn it off while walking . . . so maybe 10 hours/day. I can see that this isuseful if you need to backtrack, might make it easier to "find" yourself and keep in synch with a paper map. But . . . I am wondering if folks generally do this or if they turn their GPS on and off . . . which might conserve batteries.</div><div><br></div><div>2. The best battery options seem to be the widely available lithium batteries (disposable) or a rechargeable like Sanyo Eneloop. Has anyone used the Eneloops. Did they hold up to the published stats . . . 15-20 hours and hold their charge (for
practical purposes) forever when not in use. Did you have trouble dinding places to recharge your batteries on the CDT.</div><div><br></div><div>3. Anything else you would like to say about this topic?</div><div><br></div><div>Barb (aka Late Start)</div></div></body></html>
