The device features the powerful SiRF GPS navigation chip for supreme accuracy in all conditions. You also get an electronic compass and a barometric altimeter. |

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 60CSx'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).

Downloading information is quick with the USB or serial port interfaces. Using the dedicated serial port, the 60Cx can share navigation instructions with repeaters, plotters, and autopilots.

Finally, the GPSMap 60CSx is packed with some extra fun features. An integrated outdoor calendar provides ideal hunting and fishing times, plus moon rise/set/location information. There is a dedicated geocaching mode for those of you into the hot GPS community treasure hunt game. Finally, there are indoor/outdoor GPS games to help you and your friends enjoy the outdoors. If you like the features of the 60CSx, but don't need an electronic compass and a barometric altimeter, check out the Garmin 60Cx.

 Awesome product that performs just as expected. July 24, 2008
I have owned this unit for over a month now and I can say nothing but good things about it. I was out in the woods with a friend looking for orchids, and while my friend's GPS would occasionally lose its signal entirely, this unit kept a steady lock on the satellites and claimed a +-20 foot accuracy even within the deepest of swamps. The built-in compass means that you can just point and watch the map rotate around to determine direction to a waypoint or geocache that you're trying to locate (or see your previous track into the woods and find a way to get back to it).
The fact that it keeps track of unlocated geocaches as a separate set of waypoints (although you can view them in the overall waypoint list) makes it a great tool for geocaching.
The included map is not very good (but that is to be expected with any unit, it seems), but I was able to find freeware maps on-line that are nicely detailed down to streets, water features, etc. I can't speak as to the quality of the topo maps, as I haven't gotten them. I also have not tried using street mapping and route calculation, as this is not what I purchased this unit for.
It has also proved to be a good exercise tool, keeping track of time and distance traveled while walking, and also giving you an instantaneous speed reading as well as overall moving and overall (moving and still) average speeds. I have logged over 69 miles hiking over about 4 weeks with this unit so far.
Geocaching Tool July 23, 2008
I bought this specifically for Geocaching and it has done a great job helping us find caches that we could not find with satellite pictures. I would like to get the street map software and try this out as I hear that it works great when you need to find your way from one cache site another using roads. The 2 AA batteries lasted about 30 hours so I can not complain there. The only thing this GPS needs is a mosquito repellent dispenser.
best i have ever used July 19, 2008
my old garmin gps12CX finally gave up the ghost after many years of good service, i thought it would be hard to beat the performance i had from the old one, the 60CSx is miles ahead in the lock time and maintaining the satellite lock in difficult terrain. places where the old one lost lock or bounced around terribly this one is steady as a rock. i also like the geocaching feature. it would be nice if the buyer could chose the initial map data base at the time of purchase
Excellent GPS!! July 15, 2008
Upgraded my old Magellin to this 60Csx. Wow, i loved my old Magellin but compared to the 60Csx it's not even in the same class. The screen colors are bright and vivid and easy to read. The sattalite signals ore a good 25-50% better on the 60Csx. I have not figured everything out yet but I have tried the auto navigation and it is amazingly accurate. It even took me the back way and stayed off busy roads. For under $300 it's a great investment.
Always know where you are! July 12, 2008
Great GPS with great accuracy and fast sattelite acquisition. Works well in heavily wooded environments. We had an E-Trex Legend before, but this is clearly a step above and well worth the money if you desire an accurate and fast updating GPS.
