GPSMAP 60CSx
 Outside Magazine's Gear of the Year 2006
   
The
GPSMAP 60CSx is an upgrade of the GPSMAP
60CS, one of Garmin's most popular 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
and GPSMAP 60Cx offer a large colour TFT display and turn-by-turn
routing capability. Each unit comes with a blank 64 MB microSD card.

60CSx & GPSMAP 76CSx DIFFERENCES
Q: "What are the main differences between the GPSMAP
60CSx and the GPSMAP 76CSx?"
A: "Included data card (the 60CSx includes
a 64MB microSD data card, the 76CSx includes a 128MB card);
physical size, weight and shape; floatability
(the 60CSx does not float; the 76CSx will)." |
| USER
TIP: Lithium
batteries are recommended for GPS use. If your GPSMAP
60CSx shuts off when using fresh lithium batteries, try discharging
the batteries in another device for a short time. Uninterrupted
GPS use should then be assured. |
If you don't need the GPSMAP 60CSx's electronic compass
and barometric altimeter, check the GPSMAP
