Amazon.com Product Description
The venerable Garmin 60CS just got a whole lot better. The 7.5-ounce GPSMap 60CSx now features an insanely accurate, high-sensitivity GPS receiver by SiRF that tracks your position even in tree cover and canyons. Plus, you get a bright, sunlight-readable color TFT display and an included a 64 MB microSD card for storage of optional map detail. Add all that to the 60CSx's integrated barometric altimeter and electronic compass, and you've got a unit that is ready to take you anywhere on land or sea. 
The 60CSx is a refreshing upgrade of the 60CS, and features a removable microSD card for detailed mapping memory. View larger. | 
The device features the powerful SiRF GPS navigation chip for supreme accuracy in all conditions. You also get an electronic compass and a barometric altimeter. | 
You also get a large color TFT display and turn-by-turn routing capability. | You can use the 60CSx'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 60CSx'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 20 hours of battery life from the unit. The unit's barometric altimeter system features automatic pressure trend recording while providing current elevation, ascent/descent rate, minimum/maximum elevation, total ascent and descent, and average and maximum ascent and descent rate. Meanwhile, the electronic compass allows you to get accurate headings while standing still. Another key feature of the 60CSx 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 60CSx's trip computer provides odometer, stopped time, moving average, overall average, total time, max speed, and more. Meanwhile, a fast processor allows the 60CSx 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 60CSx is packed with some extra fun features. An integrated outdoor calendar provides ideal hunting and fishing times, plus 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 60CSx, but don't need an electronic compass and a barometric altimeter, check out the Garmin 60Cx.

 It's perfect November 19, 2008
Eric Oconnor (Sunnyvale, California.)
As everyone else here has said, the unit is great.
I just wanted to highlight that it uses
A) standard AA (or NiMH) batteries
B) MicroSD memory
(mine came with a 128 MB card, but for $8 I bought a 2GB)
C) MicroUSB cable
Pretty much anything you will ever need to replace is available everywhere for cheap. It's as if the heavens above smiled on Garmin and the perfect GPS was born.
I even like the turn by turn better than my TomTom.
Great All Around GPS November 17, 2008
Matthew T. Monahan
I originally had a old Magellan Explorist 500 that I used for geocaching and hiking. Unfortunately it just became a little to outdated and I wanted to upgrade to something with the new SirfIII chip. I first purchase a Magellan Triton 400. That was a bad move. Although it was a nice unit the functionality was just not there and the unit lacks a lot of features. I then purchased the 60CSx from Amazon and have been incredibly pleased with the unit. The unit has quick satellite acquisition, good battery life, great accuracy and a very impressive feature set. On top of that the unit is versatile and works well for trail hiking, geocaching and driving so long as you have the required maps. The unit has a very rugged design and has taken quite a few falls and still works great. Negatives are all minor - purchase a screen protector, electronic compass needs constant recalibration and geocaches can't be loaded directly onto the unit via GPX files. All in all a great unit and top of the line if you are going to be geocaching. If you don't want to spend the big bucks on one of the underdeveloped touchscreen models this the tried and true GPS of choice.
Great unit November 14, 2008
Timothy R. Deweese (Dayton Ohio)
The Garmin 60Csx unit performs very well. Its reception of satellite signal is outstanding. It even tracks inside buildings. The case package and belt clip is durable. The display is bright and clear both in bright light and darkness with its back light. The user interface menu is a little awkward but navigate able once accustom to. I purchased this unit with Garmin MapSource U.S. Eastern Parks Topographical. I am very happy with this hiking GPS.
This is the current standard for outdoor, trail GPS units November 13, 2008
Michael A. Duvernois (Minneapolis, MN United States)
There are plenty of "what were they thinking" when you get comfortable with the unit, and plenty of things for the engineers to work on with the next model. That said, this unit works brilliantly even in partial cover, getting satellite locks when other units fail. This isn't the sexiest handheld GPS out there, the Garmin Oregon and Colorado units, along with the Magellan Tritons seem better on paper. However, all of those seem to be having serious issues that still need to be resolved. (See the relevant amazon listings for some of the customer complaints.) This is, however, a reliable, established GPS that covers most of what anyone would want on the trail. The compass and pressure altimeter are nice additions to make this a general-purpose device.

Garmin Map 64 MB 60Csx With Barometric Altimeter & Compass
I had one of these before and really found it easy to use. When my first one was lost, I decided to replace it with the same. The large and bright screen makes geocaching so much easier to see.
