 Great unit but WEAK volume September 7, 2006
4 out of 6 found this review helpful
Had to upgrade to the 60Cx from the 60CS due to the larger map file sizes discovered after upgrading to the new City Navigator North America version 8 software. Aside from having to buy a new unit, the 60Cx has a very weak alert tone volume. I rely on the tones to alert me to an upcoming route change, but the volume of the tones is so low, that if you have the stereo on, or are talking on a cell phone, you might not hear the tone. You'd think that Garmin could put a decent speaker in the unit and provide some way to increase or decrease the volume output. Believe it or not the volume of the 60CS was louder than the 60Cx, although still way too weak.
This unit smokes, but it's getting only 4 stars from me because Garmin has failed to improve this feature, or lack thereof.

Ok.. here's the deal. I've been an avid Magellan user for the past 3 years. I love my Magellan. I've never liked the Garmins because of their clumsy interface (the buttons placed above the display NEVER made sense to me) and how the menu structure was built.
However.... We're planning a 2000 mile road trip from Utah up to the Oregon coast. We needed something with expandable memory so we could upload more than one state map at a time. My wife bought me the Magellan eXplorist 600 for Fathers Day. I forced myself to use it for two days (and believe me, it was torture). I could go on and on about why I sent it back.
What I ordered as a replacement was the GPSMap 60Cx. Now keep in mind that I felt like someone who had turned to the dark side.
I couldn't be happier with my decision.
While I agree with most of the other reviews about the lack of base maps, and the expense of additional ones, this unit ROCKS! It acquires satellites within seconds. It has expandable memory. It has a color screen. It manages Geocaches. It auto-routes. It stores 1000 waypoints. It has SiRF Technology. It is a USB interface. It has a belt clip. It changes display contrast at night (automatically). It slices... It dices....
Suddenly the Dark Side isn't so dark!!
This is a great unit that I would recommend to anyone.
GPSMap60Cx is the best value for hand held GPS July 3, 2006

I ordered mg GPSMap60Cx and had it two days later. Amazon came through in no time. The unit itself is impressive. I sports the SiRF III GPS chip and a quad helix antenna. The SiRF chip is the best one on the civilian market for accuracy, and reception. There are other GPS units, and some by onther manufacturers that use this chip, but I decided to go with a recognisable name brand. Glad I did too. This thing gives me 6 near full signal strength sat's while under thick tree cover and tracks accuratly. I stood in one spot, marked the spot with a waypoint. Then walked a quarter mile, marked the spot, then came back to the first spot and was within a few feet of the waypoint. All under heavy tree cover. The GPSMap60 series is quickly gaining a reputation as a high accuracy reciever from what I already have read.
The only drawback is the fact that the topo and city sreet maps are expensive. The unit is $360, and the maps are over $100 each. By the time I get done, I will be into this about $600.
If you are looking for a hand held GPS unit, I would go with any of the 60 series from Garmin. They all have the same GPS chip and antenna. The only differences are the screen, color vs. b/w, and if it has a barometer and compass or not. The Cx that does not have an electronic compass, DOES have a compass that gives you your heading. It's operated by the sat signals, so you have to be moving to have it show you your heading. But with that, you can figure out north if you need to. I'm against having the sensors because they draw too much power to operate. It also costs another $40 for the CSx model.
Other than that, I'm entirely satisfied with the GPSMap60Cx. It has proved to be everything that I came to expect after much research.

I just bought a garmin gpsmap 60cx. It's excellent!! New SiRF chip works great, I can confirm it does get several sat locks and even 2D and 3D fixes 2 meters away from windows, indoor, ofcrs. Size is just about fine, I will really feel bad on paying US$400 for something smaller than my hand. Love the external connectivity options. Weight is fine too. Lots of features. I would add some others, but nothing important really (ie. volume control). I also think a thermometer will be nice and inexpensive.
