Garmin GPS 60 customer review by John

	Very Happy (5/5)	May 25, 2007	John	Irvine CA US
	Was looking for basic camping/hiking GPS at reasonable cost. Very happy with GPS 60. Didn't want lot of fancy options. Bright screen, easy to read in direct sunlight. Very attractive, good, solid feel. Provided software easy to install/use to create waypoints/routes and download to unit. Intuitive/consistent user interface. Belt clip well-designed, easy to use. Tedious to manually create waypoints and routes in unit, use provided software to do this. Haven't used the 'mark' function yet to create waypoints as walking/hiking. Looks easy to do, though. Lots of data values to customize each display. Easy to move from page to page. Especially liked the route function to create a destination (w/intermediate points). Very intuitive to see whether you are on-track to your destination or which direction to turn to get there. Seems like a great feature to mark the campsite, then find your way back (haven't used the back-track feature, maybe even easier to use). I am using mine to make sure I stay on BLM managed property in the Mojave desert. Very easy to mark boundaries and see if you are inside them. Highly recommend this unit.
