62s refurb - first experience

Picked up my refurbished Garmin 62s Monday afternoon and promptly set it up for a quick geocaching fix before dinner.

I was excited to have new buttons. I expect that these will not rapidly deteriorate.

I remembered to back up the factory set files, just in case a software upload or a profile change messes them up in the future.

Out in the field the compass worked, although I found it odd that I wasn't prompted to calibrate the compass. It was a good thing, calibrating is bothersome, yet I'm a little worried.

I did have one small glitch. At one point I tried to zoom in on the map and I couldn't. I paged out and went back into the map view and could zoom in fine after that.
