The GPSMAP 60CSx Is A Reliable GPS Navigation System

Garmin is one of the most trusted names in GPS navigation systems today. While TomTom, Magellan and Navignon manufacture fine GPS systems, there is much broader support and accessories that go with Garmin, which has been in the outdoor GPS business since 1989.

Their product line can be a bit overwhelming at first, but they quite literally offer a navigation system for everyone! Outdoor adventurers, hikers, boaters and hunters alike give rave reviews for the GPSMAP 60Cx.

Compared to the original Garmin GPSMAP 60, this next version up has 256 color display (instead of 4 color grayscale), a removable microSD memory card to handle more intricate navigator maps and has a high-sensitivity receiver that is reliable in deep canyons, indoors or under dense foliage. Additionally, you'll receive tide tables and have the ability to add custom points of interest, as well as store 1,000 favorite waypoints (instead of the GPSMAP 60s usual 500). The most basic Garmin 60 can be found for as low as $191.60 at Amazon, whereas the new and improved 60Cx will be a bit more, retailing as low as $219 at Top Choice Digital online or as high as $319.

You may notice there is also a GPSMAP 60 CSx, but the only difference from the GPSMAP 60Cx is that the CSx includes a barometric altimeter and an electronic compass (which may not be worth the extra $50 to you). To get a better comparison, look at the next series up, which is the Garmin GPSMAP 76Cx.

The higher version is ever so slightly larger and comes with a "transflective" screen, which makes reading the screen in full sunlight a bit easier. While both GPS navigation systems are waterproof in their cases, only the GPSMap76Cx will float. Instead of a 64 MB memory card, the 76 comes with a 128 MB. The 76Cx retails as low as $223 at Taaffee Photo online or $329 at Circuit City.

As one online reviewer notes: "I really like using my Garmin eTrex Legend GPS for geocaching, and just plain not getting lost, but now Garmin has raised the standard of global positioning devices: The new portable GPSMAP 60Cx is waterproof, with a more advanced GPS receiver for receiving satellite signals faster and in more remote terrain." Whether you need help getting around downtown or assistance staying on course in the forest, you can count on your reliable Garmin GPSMAP 60Cx to get you there and back!
