The

Garmin GPSMAP 60CSx

from Garmin is an upgrade of the Garmin GPSMAP 60CS, one of our most popular models for outdoor and marine use. This unit features a removable microSD card for detailed mapping memory and a waterproof, rugged housing. The microSD card slot is located inside the waterproof battery compartment. Users can load map data and transfer routes and waypoints through the unit's fast USB connection.

In addition, this unit features a new, highly sensitive GPS receiver that acquires satellites faster and lets users track their location in challenging conditions, such as heavy foliage or deep canyons. The Garmin GPSMAP 60CSx also incorporates a barometric altimeter for extremely accurate elevation data and an electronic compass that displays an accurate heading while standing still.

Considered the mainstay among serious outdoor enthusiasts, the Garmin GPSMAP 60CSx and Garmin GPSMAP 60Cx offer a large color TFT display and turn-by-turn routing capability. Each unit comes with a blank 64 MB microSD card. Owners of these new x-series handhelds can also purchase new microSD cards that are pre-loaded with MapSource Topo and inland lake maps, BlueChart marine cartography, and City Navigator street maps.

The Garmin GPSMAP 60CSx and Garmin GPSMAP 60Cx are Garmin handheld GPS units with a Color Screen and MicroSD (also called TransFlash) card memory. The Cx range includes 4 other units consisting of the Garmin GPSMAP 76Cx, Garmin GPSMAP 76CSx, Garmin eTrex Legend Cx and Garmin eTrex Vista Cx.
