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.

Meanwhile, a fast processor allows the 60CSx to provide quick auto-routing, turn-by-turn directions, and audio alerts when you use the optional MapSource software, which can be stored on the unit's included 64 MB microSD card. 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. The four-position rocker pad and dedicated high-use buttons make navigating through the unit's features easy, even when your fingers are cold or wet. 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.

 garmin 60csx July 6, 2008
i got this for a great price of just above 300 bucks and i still remain a tad disappointed. i downloaded a bunch of mapsource maps off torrents so all the maps cost nothing and not a single map lives up to its title. the maps blow. because of the maps alone i wish i would have gotten a different brand like megallen with the national geographic maps that are real nice and easy to read.
as for the handheld unit. it works as its designed to, but there are a few blips in it. overall i dont think this product is worth 300 dollars and the maps arent worth a penny.
 A good GPS if you know how to get the software July 3, 2008
This is excellent hardware, the only problem is that Garmin wants you to pay for each software that unlocks the capability of this machine. the base map sucks, for road driving, has a few major roads and basic guidance. if your using it for hiking and going in a straight line W/o needing to use the road its good. If you can find updated maps online get those and unlock them, then the system really shines.
 Garmin GPS 60CSx July 3, 2008
I am 100 percent happy with this handheld gps. I have had it for about 6 weeeks now. I have a 2gig card that is loaded with most of the western states from the City Navigtor NT disc and Topo 2008. I use the City Nav for creating routes with turn-by-turn directions and I use the topo when I get into the forests so I can view more of the roads and trails with topo view.
I was looking for a gps that would offer me the most flexibility on my dual sport motorcycle. After lots of research, I found that this gps offered the most features and flexibilty...period. I like that I can use it on the bike, in the car or as a handheld.
For me the CSx was only complete after purchasing the City Nav NT and Topo 2008 maps and a larger 2gig card to hold the large portions of these maps. these additions make the CSx much more expensive but, still the best for the money and my needs. I found Amazon had the best prices of each of the these items that I could find.
It should be noted that you can only view either the City Nav map or the Topo map at a time and only the City Nav map is routeable. I have found that I use the City Nav most of the time and turn it off to view the Topo map when I get into the forest. I have also found that you can set a route with turn-by-turn directions in City Nav then turn City Nav off to viw Topo and it still retains the turn-by-turn capability.
Best all-around gps with little compormise!
Best GPS for Geocaching June 26, 2008

This GPS is great. Ideal for geocaching and hiking. Built in basemap is pretty lame though. Plan on buying USA topo map for it and a larger micro sd card if you want to load in lots of maps.
This GPS will do turn by turn street navigation with "city" maps. But if you want a gps primarily for driving, pick a dedicated automobile navigation GPS.

Wonder what Patrick is talking about. The product was launched less than 6 months ago. Patrick said his warranty expired...and complained about the short one year warranty.Sorry Patrick...but the math does not make yours a credible story. I own this product and love it.Matt
