Garmin GPS V review: Garmin GPS V

 

Garmin GPS V

Small; lightweight; good battery life; accurate positioning.

No add-on memory; limited map-storage capabilities; additional maps cost extra.

The GPS V's turn-by-turn driving directions and ease of use makes this device an ideal travel companion.

AUTOMOTIVE NAVIGATION KIT

 

I'm very satisfied with PCNations very quick service and great pricing with free 3 day FedEx shipping.

The 60CSx has amazing sensitivity, I can pick up 12 satellites in my living room. IMHO the Garmin 60CSx is an amazing GPS, I wish I would have bought sooner. I can't wait to get out on the Caching trail and try it out.

So far the only thing I see that is a minor detail the trip computer runs all the time. It can be disabled if you shut the satellite tracing off, but that would be counter productive. It's no biggie, I just reset the trip computer when I need to.

AUTOMOTIVE NAVIGATION KIT

 

GPS primarily for trails, If you need a GPS for the road on your way to the trail this is not the unit to buy.

battery operated for longer battery life rugged construction

not true turn by turn definitely for trail and not automotive use, let's you know when you have missed your turn so frequent back tracking

AUTOMOTIVE NAVIGATION KIT

 

Overall, this is a must have product if you plan to use your Garmin 60 series GPS for more than just hiking/geocaching. It definitely makes your GPS an all around perfect product. Now, no matter where I am in the country, I know I can find my way with...

Makes the Garmin GPSMAP 60CSx even better! It fills in all the small backroads that the basemap doesn't include. The friction mount/cigarette lighter plug works great. I did some testing with the friction mount and I couldn't get it to slide on my dash...

A bit time consuming getting the product unlocked and download all regions of North American maps on my 2gb microSD card. It actually has to do some processing to create the file that it puts on your microSD. It took my laptop about 70 minutes to...

AUTOMOTIVE NAVIGATION KIT

 

This is a must-have to make the GPSMAP60CSx useful. I was appalled by the worthless map that came installed on my unit. In order to make the best use of it in the US you must purchase the US Topo 2008 and City Navigator V8 (w car kit). Only then is the...

Provides several mounting options.

Expensive.

AUTOMOTIVE NAVIGATION KIT

 

All in all if this is the most updated maps then I guess you have no choice! But for the cost I expected Mapsource v8 to be more up to date.

Some roads in my area that have been there for years are not on the maps. Some roads that were changed over 15 years ago still show good roads.
