Garmin GPSmap 60CSx

 

An overpriced upgrade

Colour screen, expandable memory, barometric altimeter, Highway mode is useful

Expensive, slow acquisition times, somewhat confusing button placement

The GPSmap 60CSx has all the hallmarks of a decent handheld GPS device. However, it still offers too little at too high a price.

GPSmap 60CSx

 

Garmin International is part of a company that makes navigation equipment for the aviation and marine markets, as well as the consumer market. In fact, their first GPS handhelds supported Coalition forces in the Gulf War. So we think it's fair to say...

The Garmin GPSMap 60CSx handheld GPS arrived for review here at the old GPS Lodge and we're happy to take it on a few outings to test it. The Garmin 60 CSx is the top of the line handheld GPS out of the Garmin shop, and recently won the Gear of the...

Garmin GPSMAP 60CSx Review

 

The Garmin GPSMAP 60CSx updated the now ancient Garmin 60CS with two important improvements. First, the 60CSx includes the SiRFSTARIII chipset, which has been getting rave reviews for its fast acquisition time and awesome coverage under canopy, in...

UPDATE: The 60CSx has been superseded by the Garmin GPSMAP 62s.

Garmin GPSMAP 60CSx

 

No matter where you are, you will never need to ask for directions again.

Do you like GPS navigation devices or do you still use an atlas? Despite being overshadowed by the explosive popularity of aftermarket GPS navigation products in the automotive sector, handheld units such as the the Garmin GPSMAP 60CSx are still...

right gps for the car

 

The Garmin GPSMAP 60 CSx is the extended Version of the GPSMAP 60 Cx. While the case is same size and format, the CSx shows up with a barometric altimeter and an electronic compass. I use it for several purposes. Traveling statistics, autorouting,...

Consumer review (outdoorsmagic.com)

Expensive, full of features but ultimately diappointing

 

When this first came out, I had a Garmin GPS12 unit which was ok for basic navigation but wanted something bigger and better. I bought the 60scx to replace the GPS12 as it had features such as the elctronic compass and microcard storage options. Having...

Robust - waterproof case ; packed full of features (electronic compass, altitude tracker and data storage options) ; quick acquisition rate for signal

bit bulky and realtively heavy ; very expensive when I bought mine 2008 ; mapping an expensive option ; screen difficult to see in sunlight

CANT GO WRONG WITH THIS UNIT GOOD BIT OF KIT AND EASY TO USE

 

as my teacher used to say Could do better but not for a while yet pretty much a good all rounder and only the odd niggle to put it down

great unit small ,well featured, easy to use and with a 2 gig Micro SD card all the memory you need to put on Topo UK the mapping is a stripped down version of the OS type giving basic landmarks such as rivers roads tracks contours and easy to read ...

well lets see its water resistant not waterproof it will sink if used with Ni-Mh batteries and you cant charge said batteries from its USB port but you can run the device using the FREELOADER solar psu and with a wind up torch with phone charger...

Garmin GPSMAP 60CSX

 

Excellent for walking and does not loose sat link under trees ro thick cloud, unlike previous Garmin Legend. UK Maps are good and have many footpaths (most official FPs), although lower rated paths may not show. Used in country and towns including...

OS restriction on non printing of maps (not Garmin's fault), but you can print text version of route or track. If in town, you use the 'follow roads' route it may not use the quickest route 'on foot' but may follow 'best car route' but you just need to...

Garmin GPSMAP 60CSX

 

Obtains the satellite signals more quickly than an earlier model. Much lighter and smaller than an earlier model.

Nothing in particular
