I really like the built in marine features and the ability to download fishing maps for just about anywhere in the country. The built in compass is a nice feature and provides you your direction without moving. The display is really good looking and the color screen works well even in bright sun light. I was concerned that the screen might still be too small, but for a portable device it is very readable and bright.
Garmin has done a very nice job grouping functions into separate modes which makes it easier to navigate through the menus. It allows for a very streamlined interface in each mode. One of the better features is the "find" function which groups waypoints and other data into logical groups.
There are many ways to customize the unit, but it's still ready to go right out of the box. I’ve been researching GPS units for awhile and believe the 60CSx has some great memory capacity and is indeed expandable along with a more sensitive antenna. The SiRF antenna is very reliable even in heavy cover and under cloudy conditions. |

I've had a 60csx for two years now, and its been through some tough conditions. It is like magic. I use it in many differnt applications, and it has never let me down. While waiting for a gondola, snow boarding in BC, I dropped it on the snow and piled a bunch on top and tapped it down with my boot, then uncovered it, blew off the powder and kept on going.. just for reaction from the crowd. Great unit, its well worth it to go the extra mile with the csx and its removable memory chip and color screen. |

The GPSMAP 60CSx topomap feature is FANTASTIC!!! If you love the outdoors this is the GPS to have. If you like to go hiking anywhere, and you get lost, the [optional] topo map gives you accurate detail of the terrain, and you will be able to navigate your way to safety. Love it!!!
[Editor's note. MapSource US Topo and the MapSource Topo 24K National Park maps are both available by separate purchase] |
