Nate’s Geotagged Adventure
When is a picture worth more than 1000 words? When you use a Garmin GPS to add geotagged coordinates. A mapping handheld device equipped with a camera can save the exact location where a photo was taken. Garmin employee Nate tells us about using the GPSMAP 62stc this winter to geotag his travels:
While I haven’t visited any climbing crags lately, the warm w
inter temps allowed for additional outdoor adventures. Home for the holidays in Southern Oregon, I mountain biked the steep switchbacks of Roxy Ann Peak, c
ross-country skied near the rim of Crater Lake, hiked to Pilot Rock, searched for yeti in the redwoods, and took in a sunset on the coast. The 62stc captured it all with detailed track logs, elevation profiles, and geotagged pictures.
The 62stc also did well on a family ski trip to Utah. Multiple drops, snowy crashes, icy gloves, and freezing conditions were no match for this rugged device.
It’s a good thing the 62stc is built tough, seeing as my snowboarding skills have not improved!
Now that spring is here I am splitting my time between the roads and the trai
ls. I’m pounding and peddling the pavement in preparation for races like the recent Garmin Marathon (just the ½ for me) and some upcoming triathlons. Trail runs and rides are 
getting me set for races of the off-road variety. It’s easy to track all my multisport mileage with another Garmin device, the Forerunner 910XT. I still like bringing along the 62stc, with a bike mount accessory, for photo-ops like this teeter-totter on a local trail.
