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.

 Garmin GPSMAP 60Cx August 1, 2010
Az Writes..
Not sure where to start.. This GPS is withought doubt the best I have used or seen. It amazes me the options it provides, not to mention the accuracy of the reciever. With a little time it becomes user friendly in it's functions.
Mapping, a whole different challenge. It comes with a base map which is about as good as your road system in 2000. Meaning, don't expect much. The software, "Mapsource" is not user friendly at all. I am looking for help with it from Garmin and other sources. Probably me but I had hopes of a little more help with the product. I will contiue to review. The good part is it does allow you to transfer Maps. Good luck as this is the key to good GPS. Not to mention the large expense. You might thing that Garmin would think about this further..
Again, a great GPS unit and I love it and will take it everywhere I take my beloved Jeep. It tracks very well and know where I am at. This is key.. Good luck.. Thx..
Trust this GPS July 27, 2010
Orlando Gil (DR)
I purchased this GPS because the GPSmap 60Csx was very expensive and the only difference is that the Csx has a barometer and a Altimeter and does instruments I have them on a Casio Pathfinder I carry with me.
The 60Cx is an outstanding GPS; it records tracks, is very accurate, always locks at least 8 satellites even indoors, alkaline batteries last 30 hours +, comes with mapsource software, usb cable and with carrying accessories. I find it really easy to use; the color TFT screen makes it very easy to see even at night and with the sun glare. After using my GPS adding new waypoints, tracks, routes, I sync it with my laptop and all my information is available true the mapsource software that I can modify and include to my map, it comes with an "ok" basemap but a lot of maps are available true garmins website. I was very pessimist of buying this item REFURBISHED but for a 100+ dollars save I went for it, item is in awesome conditions and very precise.
BUY THIS GPS you will not regret it.
 Good reception, longer battery life July 13, 2010
Mary Arneson MD (Minneapolis, MN USA)
This device found satellites and pinpointed its location on the map in less than a minute out of the box -- from inside the house, where my previous GPS (a Magellan Explorist) hadn't even been able to get any reception. Battery life has been much better than earlier units I've owned.
Usability outside the US is an important feature for me. When we went to Europe, we were able to buy a detailed map of Scandinavia on a micro card so that we could just bike around Copenhagen without worrying about getting lost.
Decent unit July 7, 2010
Shamra (Houston, TX United States)
Overall happy with unit. Rugged, water tight. Easy to use.
Don't expect any maps. Everything has to be purchased separately. Lakes is a map and their lake maps don't put your location on the right road, so you have to purchase road maps.
Their lake maps are not very accurate with anything other than the borders of the lake, but you can get to where you're going and back on the same track and you can mark spots. Lists marinas and ramps in wrong locations. Not all depth info is correct.
Always KNOW where you are- June 27, 2010
Glenn Bruno (Vermont)
I purchased this as an upgrade / replacement for a 5 year old Garmin 60C. My old 60C was a steadfast companion on myriad canoe camping trips and had helped me out of dicey situations many times. This newer model is strikingly similar except for some small but significant changes.
~the receiver is far faster to lock onto sattelites and fix position
~the receiver has much greater sensitivity- this one actually can lock on and follow me in my house!
~battery life is slightly improved
~syncing to a PC seems easier and more solid
At Amazon's price I paid $110- less than I did 5 years ago, and that was at a good discount.
