Amazon.com Product Description
Amazon.com Product Description The venerable Garmin 60C just got a whole lot better.

Plus, you get a bright, sunlight-readable color TFT display and an included a 64 MB microSD card for storage of optional map detail. Simply put, this powerful unit is ready to take you anywhere on land or sea.

The GPSMap 60Cx features the powerful SiRF GPS navigation chip for supreme accuracy in all conditions.
You can use the 60Cx's memory card slot with preprogrammed microSD cards from Garmin (sold separately) that provide topographic maps, city streets, and nautical charts. In fact, the unit is compatible with most Garmin MapSource products including BlueChart, City Navigator, U.S. Topo 24K, and U.S. Topo and Recreational Lakes with Fishing Hot Spots. The unit comes preloaded with an Americas autoroute basemap that provides automatic routing capabilities including highways, exits, and tide data. There's also a preloaded marine point database. You can even get turn-by-turn directions when you're driving, and an integrated trip computer provides odometer, stopped time, moving average, overall average, total time, max speed, and more.

The 60Cx's 2.6-inch, 256-color TFT color display is designed to present mapping and trip information clearly and accurately in any lighting conditions. Plus, the case is lightweight, rugged, and water resistant to IEC 60529 IPX7 standards (can be submerged in one meter of water for 30 minutes). When using two AA alkaline batteries, you'll get up to 30 hours of battery life from the unit.

Another key feature of the 60Cx is the 10,000 point automatic track log; 20 saved tracks (500 points each) let you retrace your path in both directions. There's also a large-numbers option for easy viewing, as well as a dual-position display mode. The also unit includes built-in celestial tables for best times to fish and hunt, plus sun and moon calculations.

The 60Cx's trip computer provides odometer, stopped time, moving average, overall average, total time, max speed, and more. Meanwhile, a fast processor allows the 60Cx to provide quick auto-routing, turn-by-turn directions, and audio alerts when you use the optional MapSource software, which can be stored on the unit's included 64 MB microSD card. Downloading information is quick with the USB or serial port interfaces. Using the dedicated serial port, the 60Cx can share navigation instructions with repeaters, plotters, and autopilots. The four-position rocker pad and dedicated high-use buttons make navigating through the unit's features easy, even when your fingers are cold or wet.

Finally, the GPSMap 60Cx is packed with some extra fun features. An integrated outdoor calendar provides ideal hunting and fishing times, as well as moon rise/set/location information. There is a dedicated geocaching mode for those of you into the hot GPS community treasure hunt game. Finally, there are indoor/outdoor GPS games to help you and your friends enjoy the outdoors.

If you like the features of the 60Cx but require an electronic compass and a barometric altimeter, check out the Garmin 60CSx.

What's in the Box
60Cx unit, 64 MB microSD card, belt clip, USB interface cable, MapSource Trip and Waypoint Manager CD, lanyard, owner's manual, and quick-start guide.

5 out of 5 stars Best choice I have made!   February 25, 2010
A. Hansen (Idaho)
I did tons of homework on GPS units for my kind of use. This Garmin was the perfect choice for me. Easy to run, easy to follow, great features, works atving, and saved me once. Durable too!


4 out of 5 stars Fantastic piece of equipment   February 10, 2010
Guyana Man (NICEVILLE, FL, US)
We had already purchased one of these units for use in Guyana, S.A. After trying the unit out for 2 months, I purchased 3 additional units. Roads are not the standard in Guyana and we have been able to map trips, mark locations of special items and areas, for ease of retracing our trips for others and ourselves.


5 out of 5 stars It got me to Guatemala and back and I only got lost a couple times!   January 22, 2010
Peter Latteier (San Diego)
I did some research before settling on the 60Cx. I wanted something that was mulit-purpose and rugged and this fit the bill. I didn't need the extra features of the CSx so it made sense to get this one.

When I first got it it took a bit to get used to how it worked. The base map is basic, at least I didn't notice all of the options for POIs and stuff. It also wasn't autorouting. I am not sure if the base map is supposed to do that or not or I just didn't upload the maps from MapSource to it.

I got the unit for a motorcycle trip through Mexico into Guatemala and back. I purchased a Mexico map from BiciMapas and loaded it up through MapSource (another option was to get the maps on SD cards but I did not try that method). After playing around with it things got easier to use and I was able to do most of the things while riding with gloves on. It was a little difficult to move the cursor to the right with gloves on, and even without gloves on occasion.

I liked the features that it provided. It had the elevation, compass (you have to be moving to use both) odometer, speed... I really like that it would follow your track, it was a great way to see how far I had come and various points along the route. A lot of the time I used the tracks from a end that I uploaded to the device instead of the autorouting. The autorouting will take you the wrong way on one way streets but that is more due to the maps and not the device.

I really liked the unit and plan to take it camping and use it more. It worked well, batteries last a couple days of having the device on for 10 hours a day. I am very happy with it.



5 out of 5 stars Excellent GPS Unit!   December 29, 2009
Oscar Moseley III
This is my second Garmin unit. The first was a GPS Map 76 which served me very well both on the water and on the road. Unfortunately, I believe I damaged the unit by using an inferior power adapter (word to the wise- buy the Garmin accessories). I decided to replace the 76 with the 60CX and am I ever glad that I did! Although the basemap is crap and you have to spend money on Garmin maps, I can't be mad at them as this is their business model. Fortunately, the fishing hotspots map set that I have for the 76 works beautifully on the 60CX which is saving me from buying another map set (for a while at least). The 60 CX does everything I could ever want in a GPS. It receives satellite connections super fast and it works everywhere in the house- even the basement! The unit is very easy to operate right out of the box and the battery life is superb ( and I did buy Garmin's power adapter for the truck)! I've been using the unit for hours over the past 4 days and still have plenty of power remaining! I really like the fact the you can get turn by turn directions (although it's always best to verify those directions ahead of time). I've also been able to load thousands of points of interest using Garmin's POI loader. I could not be happier with this purchase and look forward to using the 60 CX for years to come!


5 out of 5 stars absolutely thrilled to have this.   December 26, 2009
K. Ruitenberg (usa)
I just recieved this for christmas, works right out of the box, ready to use. very simple. i just plug it into my laptop, tell google earth to import waypoints and track log and thats it. then you can follow the paths you have taken. it came with a 1 gb micro sd card, belt clip, its own software(i recommend google earth).
Pros: easy to use, ease of computer connection, usb power option, color screen, long battery life, hunt/fish calendars, etc
Cons: a little bit too thick, garmin maps and topo software its a little pricey at 100$ each

i recommend this to anyone who wants a great trail gps with roadmap capability that uses it with google earth.
