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.

Great Receiver
- Pros: The best reception I have ever gotten on a GPS. Go from outside to inside without any problems thanks to the new SIRF chip. I use it most for geocaching and could never be happier. Good battery life, great screen and the expandable MircoSD is awesome. Turns on and is ready to go sometimes instantly.
- Cons: The map drawing is just barely slower than my older Garmin GPSMap 60.
- Other Thoughts: Tracked my entire camping trip with it and it did an excellent job. Had it inside my backpack the entire time too. The newest firmware allows it to save track information on the SD card, which is really handy.
GPSMAP 60CSx is EXCELLENT
- Pros: I bought my 60CSx from NewEgg Nov 2006 and use it almost everyday for Geocaching.
I bought it from NewEgg because they have proven themselves over the years i have dealt with them to be very professional and honest.
The 60CSx has a VERY sensitive reciever. also it is Very accurate.
I also bought a 2Gb microSD. It works well.
I bought 2700 Mah NMh batteries and get 24 hours of use between charges. Note. I just left it on over night so this may not be same as actual use. USB interface works well for Geocaching downloads etc.
- Cons: A thermometer function would have been real useful to me!
Dont be fooled... The electronic compass (on any GPS) is not a replacement for the real thing! My "Silva Polaris" provides more reliable "compass" direction functionality (while standing still) than ANY GPS sold.
- Other Thoughts: Also, as a side note, I bought my daughter the Garmin Legend and it really impressed me for being as cheap as it was. still a VERY accurate and usable geocaching GPS.. She loves it! I think I will stick with Garmin for my GPS needs.
