 Great Piece of Gear August 25, 2006
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
This is a great piece of gear, with the otional map packs. Being able to find anything instead of calling information is a great ability. Sometimes navigating the find features becomes a pain with the quit button instead of a back feature. There needs to be software for maps of the middle east, that do not cost $350 and are incomplete.
 Early Experience with GPS August 21, 2006
6 out of 7 found this review helpful
This was our first GPS, and the unit is cram packed with features, so early experiences can't possibly touch on all its capabilities. The unit very easy to set up and within a few minutes we were acquiring satellites and geting aquainted with some of the capabilities. We got this unit primarily for geocaching and it was very easy to set up for that. A few minutes to calibrate the altimiter and the magnaetic compass and we were ready to begin downloading a list of waypoints to geocache locations near us.
The base map provided with the unit is very primitive, showing only interstate roads and primary surface roads. If you want to do any significant routing with the unit you will have to buy digital maps for the areas you are interested in. This can amount to another 60 to 200 dollars
The unit is WAS enabled, but my area can only access one antenna, so the improvements in precision, while detectable, are relatively modest.
All in all fairly easy to set up and use. Perfomance is good to excellent. We havent used the tracking feature, but the trip, routing and caching features all work as advertised. I am very satisfied.

Had the older Garmin 60CS and the 60CSx blows it away. It is so fast at acquiring the satellites and even works inside my house! It also works great in the canyons of the Wasatch mountains in Utah. In the car,it works well from inside the car without having to be on the windshield mount with a view of the sky.
 way over priced August 16, 2006

The features do not remotely live up to the hype. The base map is close to useless and without the addition to the add on map, will do no more than a $150 gps. If I still had the box, I would send it back
It's all that it promises August 14, 2006

Great state of the art GPS! I am a veteran GPS owner. I have a Garmin Etrex Summit and the 60CSx not only adds a tremendous amount of functions (mapping, etc.) it also makes many of the older generation of functions more user friendly. I do all my hiking in the eastern US, mostly in the heavily forested mountains of North Carolina and New England. My old etrex would struggle to get a fix here and there along the trails but this 60CSx locks onto my every footstep continuousely thanks to the new microprocessor (SIRC)
