 Excellent Service, Excellent GPSr January 31, 2007
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
I recently purchased the GPSMAP 60CSx through Amazon, and am completely satisfied with the unit. Just to cover a few earlier 'cons' that I read on other reviews:
(1) The customer service from Garmin was outstanding for me. The button that screws into the back of the unit was missing (as I found when I ordered the Auto Nav Kit), so I called to talk to Garmin about getting one shipped. I had someone on the phone in less than 1 minute and they immediately took care of the problem with no quesitons.
(2) Yes, the basemap that comes with the unit isn't that great. What people need to understand is that a full installation of the City Navigator maps for North America would take up about 1.5 gigs... the chip is only a 64M. If you're willing to spend the money on this unit, buy good maps and a larger microSD card. It's like buying an RV and then complaining about the fuel economy. Plus, some people may not even want those maps, and prefer the topo maps. Just buy what you want.
For the pros: This thing is full of them. I receive reception of 5 satellites in the basement of my house: Unbelieveable. I remember having problems getting that kind of reception when I worked for a mobile mapping company with a $30K unit.

This is a great GPS with good performance. The only reason I can't give it 5 stars is, that because of it's multiple capabilities, it is somewhat complex and might not qualify as a "user friendly" unit for some people. Anyone buying one of these should understand that until it is loaded with the proper navigation software, (About $116.00 plus tax and shipping.) it is not capable of a detailed navigation display. Since it only comes with a 64K memory chip, it will also be necessary to install a larger memory chip to accommodate the software. (I would recommend 1 GB) This will cost anywhere from 30 to 90 dollars, depending on whether you can find one on sale or not. I did have to contact Garmin on one occasion, and was impressed with their support. If you are looking for a great handheld, I would recommend it unless you want complete performance right out of the box.
Best Gps for people on the go January 29, 2007

This is the best gps I have found for people on the go. I use this gps when I drive and go for walks. I really like the waterproof protection it provides. Make sure you buy rechargable batteries, Gps will drain batteries in about 15-18 hours.
Garmin GPSMap 60CSx Handheld GPS Navigator Review January 28, 2007

I bought this item whilst last in the States for six weeks. I drive a lot while I am here and tend to get really lost on a regular basis. It's difficult concentrating on a totally different driving style and watching for direction signs. I found it invaluable.
I didn't really use any of the hiking, mountaineering, sailing, or fishing features just the traffic navigation. I opted for this unit as I can buy the European map set when I get back home, plus it's really portable and has a good AA Alkaline battery life. It's tough too and survived several knocks and being dropped from waist height. The screen is bright enough to see and large enough overall.
I don't like the fact that the beep is so quite and it can take a while to show the next turn and re-calculate routes. As with anything the screen could be larger and brighter. What would be really good is spoken directions and maybe an easier way of entering street addresses. On the whole though it's a well balanced multi function unit and I would recommend it to others.
You will need to buy an in-car kit (if using it on-the-road) plus more detailed maps and a 1GB or 2GB micro SD card. Make sure it's the micro SD format though, it's tiny, a little larger than a finger nail. I didn't use this unit for off-road activities but I understand it's pretty damn good at that also.
Where's my rebate? January 23, 2007

Great product. Garmin stuff just keeps getting better and better.
But the promised $50 rebate was missing.
