The Garmin 60CSx Is an Excellent State-of-the-Art Handheld GPS Receiver

byvivona Mar 3, 2007
26 Helpfuls 27 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Excellent sensitivity, feature rich, automotive and hiking navigation, solid construction
Cons Limited basemap, smallish screen, low alert tone volume
Recommended it? Yes

My needs were for a handheld GPS receiver that could be used for both hiking and automobile navigation. I had been using a Garmin eMap in this way for five years but found having to enter in each navigation route waypoint-by-waypoint to be quite a chore.

Garmin 60CS GPS = Value for your money

byguitars911 Jul 26, 2005
23 Helpfuls 24 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Construction, Feel, Color Screen, Accuracy, Portable, Functionality
Cons Fixed internal memory, no expansion slot & Manual needs more details
Recommended it? Yes

Well, it will be hard to add to the reviews posted by sezrfas and dynamicfigure. They covered this unit pretty well. If you skipped these reviews please go back and read them once you have read mine.

I have posted a link to the technical specs of the 60CS at the bottom of this review... Read full review »

Great GPS Unit

byszerfas Oct 5, 2004
21 Helpfuls 22 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Speed, power and functionality.
Cons Cost, manual.
Recommended it? Yes

This is a great little GPS (Global Positioning System) unit and we still continue to be impressed with how much it does. We have owned the unit for about 4 months and still cannot be happier with the purchase. Our main motivation for getting a GPS unit was for car navigation but it was also... Read full review »

Now this is what GPS should look like!

bybredlo Jul 23, 2004
20 Helpfuls 21 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Amazing screen, nice customization features, very versatile, nice geocaching features
Cons No Macintosh support, pricey add-on map software (as with all Garmin)
Recommended it? Yes

After owning a Garmin eTrex Legend for all of 24 hours, I realized that I wasn't going to be happy with a small black and white screen, no turn-by-turn driving navigation, and the inferior nature of built-in antennas. While considerably more expensive, the C60 has all the features that will make me... Read full review »

The best mobile unit I have used

byiancraig10 Apr 21, 2004
19 Helpfuls 20 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Fantastic display, sensitivity and accuracy. Truly useable in a car and hiking.
Cons To be honest, not much. Buy one - it's great!
Recommended it? Yes

I have been road testing a 60c and compared it to other non-colour models such as the Etrex, Etrex Vista, and the Garmin map76S. The result was, I had to buy one for myself.

It looks a bit like a big mobile phone so I don't feel too daft walking around towns with it. You can always... Read full review »

Greatest Handheld Unit On Market

bymantidx1 Sep 27, 2006
18 Helpfuls 19 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros New antenna/receiver is highly accurate, fast, and has great coverage.
Cons None
Recommended it? Yes

My workplace purchased this unit at my request about three months ago. It is a step above every other similar unit that I've ever used (I am a scientist and work with GPS, GIS, and remote sensing technologies on a daily basis). We bought this unit for use in scientific research. We paid about $400... Read full review »

Great GPS unit

bydynamicfigure Jun 18, 2005
18 Helpfuls 19 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Durable and weather resistant, great/bright display, accurate topo maps, easy to use and...
Cons Not compatable with Mac's (bummer), some the topo maps roads are also quite dated
Recommended it? Yes

After having this unit for about a year and using it for everything including hiking, hunting, skiing, and driving I cannot say enough good things about it. Though I have never submerged it for prolonged periods of time, I have slipped and fell into a river with it, soaked it on rain filled hikes,... Read full review »

Sexy and powerful, but requires your first-born.

bypkkrusty Mar 30, 2007
17 Helpfuls 18 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Excellent sat lock, high-res screen, endless options.
Cons Extras must be calibrated often, mapping support is almost fraud.
Recommended it? Yes

OK, I agree with most of the reviews that the 60csx is about as good as you can get. The 20 channel receiver and the new SIRF-III processor outperforms any GPSr I have seen to date. I routinely have 10 satellites locked even under cover. The basemap that comes with the unit is good, but comparable... Read full review »

The Last GPS I'll ever buy.

17 Helpfuls 18 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Large 256 COLOR TFT Screen, geocaching feature, autorouting,56MB Memory,usb support
Cons Breakable belt clip, preloaded maps are not accurate as some other models.
Recommended it? Yes

About 2 months ago I sold my eTrex Legend and bought the GPSMap 60C. I am happy I took the step ahead.

The unit fits nicely into the hand. Since the thumbstick has been removed, the GPS is now operated just as easily with the left hand as the right. The buttons have been moved from the... Read full review »
