Garmin GPSMap 60c Handheld GPS Receiver

Pros: Excellent sensitivity, feature rich, automotive and hiking navigation, solid construction
Cons: Limited basemap, smallish screen, low alert tone volume

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. ...

Pros: Construction, Feel, Color Screen, Accuracy, Portable, Functionality
Cons: Fixed internal memory, no expansion slot & Manual needs more details

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 ...

Pros: Excellent navigation system
Cons: Maps not updated, Slow GPS signal at start

I purchased this Tom Tom Navigator 5 for approx 200 GBP two months back. I am an IT Consultant and am required to go to different client's sites at different locations. At first I used to print out the directions from mapquest or theaa.com and then try ...

Pros: New antenna/receiver is highly accurate, fast, and has great coverage.
Cons: None

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 ...

Pros: Speed, power and functionality.
Cons: Cost, manual.

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 ...

Pros: Durable and weather resistant, great/bright display, accurate topo maps, easy to use and understand.
Cons: Not compatable with Mac's (bummer), some the topo maps roads are also quite dated

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 ...

Pros: Hundreds of built-in useful functions. Portability.
Cons: Insufficient memory for downloading large area of map. No option for memory expansion.

After getting lost in the woods while riding a bike well into the sunset, the quest for GPS began the very next day while hunger, thirst, fear, frustration, cold, etc. were still vivid. The objective was to get a handheld unit that could be used for ...

Pros: Works! Easy to use! What else can I say?
Cons: Maps need to be bought separately

Wonderful screen; intuitive interface; what are you waiting for? When you buy the add-on mapsource software, you get great auto navigation. The color screen is very good; high resolution & colorful. Very readable in broad daylight. You do need to ...

Pros: Battery life, color, screen brightness, functionality
Cons: Sometimes TOO sensitive, directions it calculates are sometimes odd.

I couldn't wait for this model to come out in January 2006, and I bought one as soon as it was available. The reasons I bought it were: - It has a base map (my old Garmin 12XL had NO map), AND you can purchase the road atlas CDs and download them to ...

Pros: Excellent sat lock, high-res screen, endless options.
Cons: Extras must be calibrated often, mapping support is almost fraud.

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 ...

Pros: Excellent technology, well designed, lots of features and very robust.
Cons: Some software clumsiness and map data that needs work.

The Garmin 60 CSx is a great GPS. There are plenty of reviews that attest to this and I love it too! The unit is very well designed and the weak points would not be noticed by typical users. That said, below are some of the less appealing details of ...

Pros: Amazing screen, nice customization features, very versatile, nice geocaching features
Cons: No Macintosh support, pricey add-on map software (as with all Garmin)

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, ...

Pros: Handheld, compact, rugged, fantastic battery life - IT Works!
Cons: Needs additional Mapsource software, older technology for signal acquisition. Screen harder to see in shade.

I bought the Garmin GPSMAP 60C about 3 years ago and can’t imagine traveling without it now. Its features include: Sunlight-readable display with 256-color transreflective TFT display (1.5" W x 2.2" H; 2.6" diagonally); color operating system ...

Pros: Aquisition time is fast, USB, Long battery life, Easy to read screen
Cons: Additional Map are expensive ex. CitySelect

Having own 2 Garmin GPS units, this one is far the best one. I have had the Garmin 12XL and Garmin eTrex Vista. The Garmin eTex Vista was terrible and expensive. I did a lot of hiking with it and it simply did not like any trees and needed a clear ...

Pros: - great reception - fast route calculation - power via USB
Cons: - 30% less battery life - missing alarm clock - comic style icons

My first impressions of the 60CSx were very good. It took the device less than a minute to get a perfect fix on about 10 satellites. After another three minutes, every bar in the satellite page indicated that EGNOS/WAAS data had been received for that ...
