 Garmin GPS 60CSx July 3, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I am 100 percent happy with this handheld gps. I have had it for about 6 weeeks now. I have a 2gig card that is loaded with most of the western states from the City Navigtor NT disc and Topo 2008. I use the City Nav for creating routes with turn-by-turn directions and I use the topo when I get into the forests so I can view more of the roads and trails with topo view.
I was looking for a gps that would offer me the most flexibility on my dual sport motorcycle. After lots of research, I found that this gps offered the most features and flexibilty...period. I like that I can use it on the bike, in the car or as a handheld.
For me the CSx was only complete after purchasing the City Nav NT and Topo 2008 maps and a larger 2gig card to hold the large portions of these maps. these additions make the CSx much more expensive but, still the best for the money and my needs. I found Amazon had the best prices of each of the these items that I could find.
It should be noted that you can only view either the City Nav map or the Topo map at a time and only the City Nav map is routeable. I have found that I use the City Nav most of the time and turn it off to view the Topo map when I get into the forest. I have also found that you can set a route with turn-by-turn directions in City Nav then turn City Nav off to viw Topo and it still retains the turn-by-turn capability.
Best all-around gps with little compormise!
Best GPS for Geocaching June 26, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This GPS is great. Ideal for geocaching and hiking. Built in basemap is pretty lame though. Plan on buying USA topo map for it and a larger micro sd card if you want to load in lots of maps.
This GPS will do turn by turn street navigation with "city" maps. But if you want a gps primarily for driving, pick a dedicated automobile navigation GPS.

Wonder what Patrick is talking about. The product was launched less than 6 months ago. Patrick said his warranty expired...and complained about the short one year warranty.Sorry Patrick...but the math does not make yours a credible story. I own this product and love it.Matt
 Terrible Experience with Customer Support June 20, 2008
2 out of 4 found this review helpful
I bought it as I was traveling to Croatia and wanted a rugged, waterproof GPS.
I discovered after buying it that the maps were very expensive ($300). And Garmin does all it can to prevent open source mapping applications from accessing the internals of their devices. So I used it without a map.
It would at least help me get back to my hotel every night.
The warranty on the unit is only 1 year. This is absurdly short for a premium priced product.
The keypad failed on my unit shortly after the warranty expired. After a 25 minute wait on the phone for customer service (that's service?) the woman on the phone informed me that the cost to swap my unit for a functional gps would be $150!!!!!
That is WAY more than half the amount I payed for the the unit in the first place.
I took meticulous care of this GPS. For example, the plastic is still attached to the LCD screen to prevent scratches! Yet it failed.
I have never owned a Garmin product before and am now very dubious about their quality control.
And I am extremely unhappy with their customer service. I plan on spending a great deal of time and effort getting out the word on their customer service.

this is GREAT! June 19, 2008
wow! I have never owned a GPS before but with this GARMIN 60CSX Im sold! it does way more than I thought it would and is right on when putting in lat & long manually, I purchased a topo map seperately and was happy with the added results, much more detail including city streets,
it seems pretty rugged and has only not aquired sats once, I don't know why but it may be something all GPS do from time to time,
I highly recomend this for the novice! it gives way more info an a trip or around your area than you could imagine! time on the road ..speed..time until you reach a destination, beeps when your close.. it's unreal!! get this device and have some great times outdoors!
