 Love the GPSMap 60CSx unit! July 8, 2008
I already have a Garmin E-Trex Vista unit, and bought this Garmin Map 60CSx as the second one for personal and family use. It is used primarily off road as a handheld for geocaching. I love the larger 2.6 inch screen for the ease of viewing maps and trails. It's accuracy has proven to be very precise even in thick foliage or thick cloud cover during inclement weather. I also like the fact that you can swap out the micro disc for different maps as the need arises. The location of the micro disc under the batteries is a little tricky pulling out because of it's tight sapce. Memory so far has not been a problem! The directions on using a couple of the features were vague, but with the help of friends owning similar units and owning another Garmin handheld helped. I would (and have) highly recommend this unit especially for off road and geocaching!
 Good, but it cannot compare to the Garmin Colorado July 7, 2008

I bought the Garmin 60CSx in February of '07, primarily to use for Geocaching. Although I have owned many GPS receivers in the past, including the somewhat similar Rino 130, I had a hard time getting used to the controls on the 60CSx. For me at least, they are not at all intuitive. I kept pushing the wrong button or having to cycle through all of the screens in order get to the feature that I desired. The display is just so-so, the contrast and the color seems soft and the screen is small.
I lost the unit due partly to the faulty design of the case that Garmin makes for it (it feel off while I was climbing and could not be retrieved). When it came to a replacement I waited until the Colorado became available, primarily because I was never really happy with the 60 series and I hoped that the Colorado series would be superior. It is!
I will be writing a review for the Colorado 400t on it's own page. What I would like to say here is that if you are considering buying a top of the line, hand-held GPSr, (and, if you don't already own the Garmin mapping software that you plan to use with it) I would strongly suggest that you consider the Colorado models. They are must easier to learn, quicker to use, have a better display and can be purchased with the desired software already preloaded. I really love my Colorado, I couldn't say that of the 60Scx.
 Simple, Intuitive, Easy to use` July 7, 2008
I bought this device so my wife could expand her geocaching hobby. She's enjoyed it very much for that purpose, but we've also really enjoyed it while travelling. The altimeter feature was a definite highlight during a recent trip to Colorado

i got this for a great price of just above 300 bucks and i still remain a tad disappointed. i downloaded a bunch of mapsource maps off torrents so all the maps cost nothing and not a single map lives up to its title. the maps blow. because of the maps alone i wish i would have gotten a different brand like megallen with the national geographic maps that are real nice and easy to read.
as for the handheld unit. it works as its designed to, but there are a few blips in it. overall i dont think this product is worth 300 dollars and the maps arent worth a penny.
A good GPS if you know how to get the software July 3, 2008
This is excellent hardware, the only problem is that Garmin wants you to pay for each software that unlocks the capability of this machine. the base map sucks, for road driving, has a few major roads and basic guidance. if your using it for hiking and going in a straight line W/o needing to use the road its good. If you can find updated maps online get those and unlock them, then the system really shines.
