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: A good GPS if you know how to get the software
Comment: 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.

Summary: Garmin GPS 60CSx
Comment: 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!

Summary: Best GPS for Geocaching
Comment: 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.

Summary: Patricks review above
Comment: 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

Summary: Terrible Experience with Customer Support
Comment: 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.
Patrick
