The GPSMap 60Cx features the powerful SiRF GPS navigation chip for supreme accuracy in all conditions.
You can use the 60Cx's memory card slot with preprogrammed microSD cards from Garmin (sold separately) that provide topographic maps, city streets, and nautical charts. In fact, the unit is compatible with most Garmin MapSource products including BlueChart, City Navigator, U.S. Topo 24K, and U.S. Topo and Recreational Lakes with Fishing Hot Spots. The unit comes preloaded with an Americas autoroute basemap that provides automatic routing capabilities including highways, exits, and tide data. There's also a preloaded marine point database. You can even get turn-by-turn directions when you're driving, and an integrated trip computer provides odometer, stopped time, moving average, overall average, total time, max speed, and more.

The 60Cx's 2.6-inch, 256-color TFT color display is designed to present mapping and trip information clearly and accurately in any lighting conditions. Plus, the case is lightweight, rugged, and water resistant to IEC 60529 IPX7 standards (can be submerged in one meter of water for 30 minutes). When using two AA alkaline batteries, you'll get up to 30 hours of battery life from the unit.

Another key feature of the 60Cx is the 10,000 point automatic track log; 20 saved tracks (500 points each) let you retrace your path in both directions. There's also a large-numbers option for easy viewing, as well as a dual-position display mode. The also unit includes built-in celestial tables for best times to fish and hunt, plus sun and moon calculations.

A step up.......2007-06-21

I had a Lorence H2O GPS prior to the purchase of the Garmin GPSMAP 60cs. I have nothing negative to say about that unit and will keep it as an additional or second unit. It is a fine unit for the money. The Garmin 60CX is a big step up if you care to spend the extra cash and you get a lot for that extra. Turn-by-turn, color, twice the battery life, and that sweet SurFer board (or however its called) that performs in areas where I used to have an error rate in the hundreds and now in the tens. My first unit needed to be by the car window to get a lock. This Garmin doesn't seem to care where it sits in the car. The City Navigator software is a bit pricy to get functional street detail, but given the turn-by-turn function of the unit, I also have no problems buying it so the unit reaches full potential. If you want a solid unit, there are others out there that do fine. If you want the best you can get in a hand held, check this one out.

See Through Trees!.......2007-06-05

The SiRF chipset in this baby is amazing. I've been using it for a week now and here are some examples:

Oldgrowth Douglas-fir forest, trees 200 ft tall, 90% canopy closure - GPS gets 8 satellites and has my position to 10 m accuracy in about a minute.

Doghair western hemlock forest 100% canopy closure, need a flash to take pictures at noon on a cloudless day. GPS gets 7 satellites and has my position to 10 m accuracy in a little under two minutes.

Dense alder-maple forest at the bottom of a ravine with 70% sideslopes. 95% canopy closure. GPS gets 6 satellites and has my position to 10 m accuracy in about a minute. I put the GPS in the top pocket of my backpack and thrash through the ravine for 3 hours. Subsequent download indicates GPS never lost my position and has almost no random walk component to the trackpoint record.

In short, the SiRF set delivers performance that I could not achieve using a $14,000 Trimble setup three years ago. GPS is finally into the woods. I wonder how it would work in a cave???

By the way - in other respects it's pretty much what you expect of a Garmin GPS, which means great hardware and a pretty good user interface, coupled with crappy software that only runs on Windows. At least you can use Mapsource to save the tracks, routes and waypoints as GPX files which you can then view on Google Earth.

Great GPS.......2007-05-11

I have been really happy with this GPS. I originally purchased the Etrex Legend Cx, but found that it lost signal too often under dense tree canopies that I find myself all too often under while hiking in Georgia. But I have not that that problem with the 60Cx. It has kept strong signal even under dense canopy. I now also have the Garmin map software, and use the GPS in my car to navigate around. With the windshield suction mount, I am able to easily use it to get around the city, and have found it pretty accurate.

Garmin GPSMap 60Cx Handheld GPS Navigator.......2007-05-09

The Good
1) Found the GPS works well.
2) It is quick and has a nice and useful set of features.
3) The interface is easy to use and learn
4) Loading the software (MapSource) was easy and the GPS interfaced with my PC with no hitch
5) Transferring data between the GPS and PC was easy and effective.
6) I particularly like the large screen and the large fonts and this was why I bought this unit
7) On the whole I am pleased with my purchase

The Bad
1) MapSource, the software supplied with the GPS did have a glitch with upgrading from the internet. Each time I tried to upgrade the software, a fatal error occurred. Garmin could not assist unless I telephoned a Garmin technician. This remains a problem.
2) Purchasing road map data for South Africa has proved to be very expensive.

GPSmap 60Cx : FANTASTIC.......2007-04-27

Firstly, I labored long and hard deciding between the GPSmap 60Cx and the GPSmap 60Csx... I mean WEEKS!!! The only difference between the two is minimal (just a GPS compass and barometric altimeter).

Just got my 60Cx yesterday. Spent today playing with it and doing a little geocaching. The display screen is beautiful and a good size, too. Accuracy? I almost tripped over one cache today, and the WAAS was OFF!!! I really can't see what the GPS compass in the GPSmap 60Csx would do for me that the Cx doesn't!!

Downloading waypoints is a snap with the various geocaching applications out there. It literally took me a whole 3 minutes to load 40-50 caches / waypoints (using the USB port).

I would absolutely buy another one of these. Thank you, AMAZON, for making the buying and package tracking as painless as it was. Great job and thanks! I'd definitely buy another Garmin and would buy from Amazon again!

Amazon.com Product Description

The GPSMap 60CS is packed with navigational features, but Garmin knows that a great device has to go beyond a simple color display to be the cream of the crop. With that, Garmin has upped the ante on this lightweight, rugged, waterproof unit, offering a 256-color, highly reflective display that provides easy viewing in almost any lighting condition, including bright sunlight. This transreflective TFT, 2.6-inch-diagonal screen provides excellent viewing while maximizing battery life (up to twenty hours with typical use).

The GPSMap 60CS packs GPS navigation into a compact, waterproof device. View larger.
The GPSMap 60CS adds two premium features to the basic design of the less expensive 60C model: an electronic compass and a barometric altimeter, both crucial for highland adventures. These sensors, when combined with GPS technology, provide enhanced bearing and elevation readings. A barometric sensor with automatic pressure readings allows you to view changes in pressure for a set period of time. With the elevation computer, you can find current elevation, ascent/descent rate, minimum and maximum elevation, total ascent and descent, and average and maximum ascent and descent rate. The trip computer provides odometer, stopped time, moving average, overall average, total time, max speed, and more.

The WAAS GPS receiver has an accuracy of 10 feet in North America. With the 50 reversible routes, 10,000 track points, and 500 waypoints, you're sure to have enough tools to find your way. A fast processor allows the 60CS to provide quick auto-routing, turn-by-turn directions, and audio alerts when the unit uses optional MapSource software, which can be stored on the 56 MB of internal memory. Downloading information is quick with the USB or serial port interfaces.

Does what it should do!.......2007-05-09

Good product. Updates now available for Mac users also online. I like this one, better battery life than some of the newer ones. No SD card slot.

The Best GPS Unit.......2007-04-18

This GPS is great. A color screen is a must and we have need no problems viewing the screening in direct sunlight. This unit is very durable too with a sporty look. The best part you can take it everywhere (hiking, biking,walking, running, even on trips). Money Well Spent!!!

Great for Geo Cashing.......2007-02-17

A very accurate GPS and works everywhere, also a great tool for Geo Cashing

Just don't trust it on the road.......2006-11-13

Nice enough for the trail when you're on foot and not depending on it to tell you how to get somewhere. But it has turned me the wrong way on the road more times than not, one time it told me to turn right when the route it was displaying turned right.

Also its plug locations are just plain stupid. You may want to pop for a bracket if you do use it in the car.

Otherwise the software is quirky and the maps quite expensive.

Delivered the goods.......2006-11-10

I purchased my first GPS unit and I am very satisfied. I read many reviews, and researched about a half a dozen candidates before I settled in on the GPSMAP CS. When I bought it, I knew that it was being replaced with a more expensive unit that had a removable SD chip, but I did not need that feature, as the unit had 56 MB on internal memory, plenty for my needs. I bought the unit basically for Geocaching, and it has performed as expected and I would recommend it, or it's new, more expensive upgrade, to anyone who wants a unit that is relatively easy to use. The car mount is a little tricky, but it also performs well, once mastered. You have to attach the external power cord, if you are conserving batteries, before you put the unit in the car mount. Sort of clunky, but not so much as to be a problem.

Excellent Unit.......2007-01-14

Garmin has always been #1 in the GPS market. The other guys, have one or
two models and pack them with features like "picture viewing", that's
right now how is that needed in a GPS? Are you going to the photomat or something?

This unit is excellent. I've used it hiking and riding my ATV. This unit
just has everything an amature hiker/explorer could want. It's easy to
use, just take a few minutes and go through the menus. It's great easy
icons with text describing each one, and the screen is nice and easy to
see. And having the feautre of backtracking where you tell the unit to
take you back the way you came and you can see it clearly on the map
displayed on the screen is fantastic.

Overall excellent purchase, and I enjoy it everytime I use it.

Garmin GPS.......2007-01-09

I have been using this item nearly everyday for the past two months. It is a nice unit but has a few flaws. When walking with it and having it set to "track up" (point the direction you are going instead of always pointing north on the map) it doesn't always have you tracked up. I have had the unit turn off on me a few time for no reason and just little hick-ups a few times. Other then all that I wish I had purchased an upgraded model with larger internal memory as I like to have all the geocaches in my area on there (i can put 1000 on there right now)

Incompatible with 64-bit XP.......2006-09-06

If your using a 64 bit OS you will not be able to download maps to unit until Garmin provides driver support. Other then this it's a great product!

Garmin GPSMap 60cs.......2006-07-20

This GPS is a pretty good deal for the money. From an operational standpoint, it works well. It is apparent though, this is really all about being portable, the screen is too small for good marine or car use. For my use, mostly marine, I set a lot of waypoints and scrolling on this tiny of a screen is just lame. Not any fault of the unit I know, just something to think about.

Loved it before I even got it.......2006-06-14

I had read quite a few of the online reviews for this GPSr and realized there wasn't much negative about it. I was right, and I think I made a good investment. Although this model has been updated with an expandable, this one I found new for under $300 and it does the trick for what I need.

The unit performs flawlessly. I even can get a fairly good position - in my office with no windows! The quadrifilar helix antenna really is the key to this GPSr's ability to get fast, accurate fixes even under dense coverage. I don't live in an extremely dense urban area with tall buildings, so I cannot attest to its use in that environment. I have noticed (and read somewhere, if I recall) that the GPS receives best in the vertical position. On its side or holding screen up, the signal degrades. The helicoil antenna must be polarized to be held vertically.

All in all, it's a great unit for the price, and still worth the purchase even though it is being outdated by newer models.
