Garmin GPSMAP 60C Product Review
(similar to 60CS but without Barometric Altimeter and Electronic Compass)
by Joe Mehaffey and Jack Yeazel

MapSource™ CDs provide high level detail of roads, recreational areas, coastlines, navaids, lakes, boat ramps, topography and more. A USB PC Interface cable is enclosed with each GPSMAP 60CS to allow you to download MapSource™ CD Data between your PC and GPSMAP 60CS. MapSource™ software also allows you to view color maps on a personal computer, with zoom and pan functions for easy map browsing. Users can then select individual maps in areas of interest and transfer the maps to the GPSMAP60CS or other compatible GPS.

Think of MapSource™ as an atlas that contains many smaller maps. By choosing several of these maps, you can make a map set. This map set can then be transferred to your GPSMAP 60CS, which allows you to tailor the map detail for the geographic areas you wish to view. For instance, if you are planning a trip by car, your map set might only need to include those maps that are along your intended driving route. MapSource gives you the flexibility to choose the extent of the mapping coverage.

Use the trip and waypoint manager functions to create waypoints, routes, and tracks, and transfer them between your GPSMAP 60CS and your PC. This is excellent for planning your next outdoor adventure, business trip, vacation, or recreational outing without ever leaving your house.

System Requirements: PC with Windows 2000 or newer operating system; 32MB RAM minimum; 2 GB free hard disk space; CD-ROM drive for CD versions or DVD drive for DVD versions; available serial and/or USB port, 256 color display adapter and monitor (16- bit color required); and mouse or other pointing device; PC Interface cable, Internet access is recommended.
