 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.
Great Piece of Gear August 25, 2006

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
