very nice unit March 19, 2006
5 out of 6 found this review helpful
This is my first GPS system and I am very pleased with it. I did alot of research before purchsing this unit. I was very much set on a garmin vista C but the reviews i had read swayed me to this one. It is a very user friendly the buttons are very easy to push. I have not had it out long enough to see just how long the batteries do last. the only downfall to the unit is to get the most out of it you need to purchase the different maps that garmin has and they are not cheap nor are they compatable with any other unit. however all the companies are the same as their software is only compatable with their unit. I personally love it and would purchase another if this one takes a crap on me.

I picked up "GPS for Dummies" book to begin my education on GPS units before plunking down my money. After deciding that I needed a unit which could be used in my truck, as well as for hiking to selected spots in the desert, I decided on the Garmin 60CS. I must say that I was very pleased and quite impressed with the multitude of features that this unit has. Displaying phases of the moon, altitude and barometric readings, not to mention the best times for fishing only added to the excitement that I felt as I mastered its very configurable interface.
The only point that I would mention is that it is almost imperative that one purchases the additional Mapsource map CDs, as the base map which comes with the unit contains nothing but the main highways and interstates. I purchased the Mapsource Topo and was amazed at the amount of detail it contains. While not containing the detail of, say DeLorme's Topo USA, it fills the screen of the 60CS with all the info I would want on a unit of its size.
I will be carrying this very portable and ergonomic unit with me everywhere!
Excellant unit March 2, 2006
I had been wanting a nice color GPS unit for a while. My wife purchased this one for me and I love it. I purchased the City Select Maps to use with the autoroute system. It would be nice if the maps were included with unit. I've had it out on several caching trips now and it hasn't let me down yet. Make sure you take the time to read through the instruction book so you will know how to use the many features that the unit has built-in.

I have been using it a lot and i am amazed. Although it is not intended for beginners, it is a complete tool for fun and survival. The signal reception is good even indoors, what is a new thing for me. This is my third GPS device, and it is as tough as my early GPS12 and handful as my Ique 3600.
Love It! February 17, 2006

I originally picked up an etrex legend, but quickly realized that it was deficient in several areas. The memory was too small, it had a black & white display, used only a serial port, and had no external antennae port. So I took it back and ordered this GPSMap 60CS, & I love it. The USB connection is much easier to use, the size of memory is much better, and the external antennae port is great when using this unit in the car. The controls are easy to use, and the unit has been very accurate. I use it for hunting, fishing, hiking, geocaching, and even for in-car navigation. My only complaint is the high price of the mapping software. You can drop a couple of hundred bucks pretty quickly. However, this appears to be an industry standard, so I'm not sure that it is an avoidable problem. Gilsson makes a great external antennae that is much cheaper than Garmin. I have no regrets about this purchase.
