The GPSMAP 60CSx is a refreshing upgrade of the GPSMAP 60CS, one of the most popular Garmin's models for outdoor and marine use. This unit features a removable microSD card for detailed mapping memory and a waterproof, rugged housing. The microSD card slot is located inside the waterproof battery compartment. Users can load map data and transfer routes and waypoints through the unit's fast USB connection.In addition, this unit features a new, highly sensitive GPS receiver that acquires satellites faster and lets users track their location in challenging conditions, such as heavy foliage or deep canyons. The GPSMAP 60CSx also incorporates a barometric altimeter for extremely accurate elevation data and an electronic compass that displays an accurate heading while standing still.Considered the mainstay among serious outdoor enthusiasts, the GPSMAP 60CSx offers a large color TFT display and turn-by-turn routing capability. The unit comes with a blank 64 MB microSD card.

Summary: Garmin map 60csx gps unit
Comment: I am a member of a major Search and Rescue team. I teach the use of GPS for our members and obvioulsly use one too. I had a Magelin 400, but had lousy customer service. I contacted Garmin Customer service (Dwight O.) and got great service then ordered the unit. It works as described and when I had problems with the unit (I could have read the instructions, but Oh well) the customer service person was fantastic!
I have tried the various screens and it appears to be very accurate and easy to use, even on horse back and on Quad. I love the altimeter and trip stat screens. I strongly recommend the garmin line for my friends and students. Be safe!

Summary: Garmin GPS Map 60CSx
Comment: Very nice instrument! I used a Garmin E-trex first and liked it then, saw this one. I like the features it has, especially the electronic compass, find screens and geocaching features. I was a little disappointed in the accuracy (not up to date)of the built-in descriptions. The info about my local exit was out of date, many of the businesses are gone. The flexibility is great. I'd recommend it!

Summary: Great Product
Comment: This handheld is a very good buy. It is quick to start up and quick to obtain satellites. It seems to operate in the +- 12ft range most of the time. It never drops signal and even works in the house, truck, or deep tree cover. Great product.
Customer Rating:
Summary: not as bad as the Colorado, but still terrible
Comment: I got a Garmin Colorado, which was horrible, with buggy software, so I returned that and got this based on the quality of the reviews. I should have known better -- this unit is buggy as well. I loaded map data into it and off I went for a family trip to Vermont. Well, when the unit figured out I was in Vermont, it forgot all the map data! I had luckily brought the data with me, so I reloaded it. Then the same thing happened again when I returned home to Oregon -- no more map data.
The hardware seems sound, but Garmin needs to ship products with software that works. I tried calling customer support and was told to expect a 15-20 minute wait. Their phone support gets one star out of five from www.gethuman.com, and I understand why.

Summary: Good but dont' try the online upgrade
Comment: Purchased the unit for a vacation trip. It worked well and was fun to have along. Fortunately, I didn't try the suggested online software upgrade until after I returned. The unit died right after the upgrade completed. After a 45 minute phone wait, a Garmin service tech recommended I return the unit for replacement. The was two weeks ago and I still haven't received the replacement. Garmin is doing who knows what with it? If some one had told me this story prior to the purchase, I might have reconsidered. Maybe my star rating will change if I only had the unit to play with.
