 very good unit August 31, 2006
7 out of 7 found this review helpful
Reception is very good, screen is clear, unit is well designed and light enough. Haven't dropped it but looks pretty sturdy. Problem comes with quality of downloadable maps, especially topo maps for the Catalan pyrinnees, were information becomes visible only at the 300m level screen. Not very useful to get the big picture of where you are. But this is not something to blame on the unit. For US users, US topo maps should be much better than this.
 A small wonder in your hands August 30, 2006

I bought this GPS with a sole purpose:to avoid speed limit fines.
I work in Macae city and have a house in Rio. I use to drive about 220 Km (140 miles) each way every weekend. There are 18 radar detectors with cameras in which you have to reduce from 80 to 50 km / hour. I got 8 fines in the past 12 months and a loss around USD 2000.
There are limited offer of Mapsource to my area. I created tracks which navigate with the GPS and marked as waypoints all the locations where there is a radar. The proximity alert feature tells me I am near these radars. I also marked radars locations downtown Rio.
I found the GPS sensitivity exceptional. It can keep track even seated inside a bus. The visor has good visibility, battery consumption is low and it is small enough to keep in my briefcase.
I also bought an external antenna which is positioned on the top of my car dashboard, under the windshield. I can keep the unit inside the car.
It is my first GPS and I am happy I purchased it.
The device was delivered to a friend's address in Houston on time before he travelled to Macae on vacations.
Garmin GPSMap 60csx Handheld August 30, 2006
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
So far Sooo good, to date this gps keeps making me smile. I had the etrek, which for my use was very limited. The 60csx gives me more options for tracking and recording and expanding. The screen is clear and bright. You must read the instructions and follow them but once you get used to them its smoth sailing. Only problem I've seen is in day light you have to angle the screen of the sun washes the picture out but thats an easy fix. Love this unit.
A GPS Handheld Made EASY August 29, 2006

By far this is the Best GPS unit I've owned. It is easy to setup and ease of use for any level of user is superior to all other units. It's ability to connect to multiple satelites is second to none. I have used the unit from the mountains of Maine to the shores of New Jersey and have had nothing but great experiences with using it. I purchased the unit for hunting but have found a new use that my kids love "geo caching". Using the unit with the kids has proven it's toughness and level of water resistance. I could not say enough about the unit. I highly recommend this unit to anyone who wants a quality GPS at a practical price.
Great upgrade from etrex Legend August 28, 2006
13 out of 13 found this review helpful
I recently upgraded from a Garmin etrex Legend the the 60CSx. The differences of the two are like day and night. This was a great upgrade!
The first thing I noticed is that the reception of the CSx is far superior with the new receiver that is found in this unit. I was completely unable to receive a signal in my house with the etrex, but the CSx works almost anywhere in my house. That in itself is great, but there are many more features that I like.
The first is the larger color screen. It is not much larger, but the space management is better. An example is when you are in 'track up' mode, the CSx places your position toward the bottom of the screen, which enables you to see more area in front of you instead of what is behind you. Another cool feature of the color screen are the color schemes. You can have bright colored screens during the day, and dark background screens at night, which are easy to see. The best part is that after you set it up, they change automaticly at sunset and sunrise.
The Geocaching screen is also very handy. When you input geocaches they are defined by the icon used. All you have to do is search for the ones you haven't found yet, and it brings them up, ignoring other waypoints. When you find the geocache, all you do is enter on the 'found' button and it changes the icon and date stamps when you found the cache! Very cool!
Another thing that I like is that it is compatible with Mapsource Metroguide which I purchased a couple years ago when I got the etrex. It also works with Maptech Terrain Navigator. Both of those programs offer software updates to make them work with the new GPS units.
One last thing that I will mention is that when you connect the CSx to your computer via the supplied cable, it will run off the power of the computer instead of the batteries. That is really handy if you are out and about using a laptop for navigation.
There are many other features that I did not list which are also just as impressive. Hunting/fishing hot times, calendar, stopwatch, calculator, barometer, altimiter, and compass to name a few. The built in games look like fun, although I haven't tried any of them yet.
