Garmin GPSMAP 60CSX
How useful is the Garmin GPSMAP 60CSX?
As usual, the general reputation of all Garmin products for reliability extends to the Garmin GPSMAP 60CSX, which is phenomenally useful in any form of outdoor activity, having on-board functions that will suit fitness workouts, mountain biking, exploring the wilderness, boating or even sailing the open seas.
If Fitness is what you do: Appreciate the trip computer with odometer to see maximum speed, total duration, moving averages and stoppages along the way.
If you are a Mariner: Appreciate the audible alarms that warn of anchor dragging; proximity to waypoints; off-course diversions; final arrivals. There is so much on offer in one package, the Garmin GPSMAP 60CSX!
Perhaps you are a Hiker or Geocacher: Review a trail so easily, with up to 10,000-points of automatic tracking in a log and as many as 20 saved trails.
Hunters and fishers: Take a look at the built-in celestial tables for both sun and moon to decide the optimum time for fishing/ hunting. It’s almost as good as the Garmin GPSMAP 60CSX doing everything for you!
Bikers and Drivers: Use the automatic routing GPS systems to get from point A to point B as efficiently or comfortably as possible, and if a diversion has to be taken with no prior warning, just let the Garmin GPSMAP 60CSX show the way!
Maybe you don't want to purchase a separate GPS system for every vehicle you own? Use crossover navigator maps in the Garmin GPSMAP 60CSX – no problem!
All these benefits – and yet more! Maybe the pre-loaded maps will be needed with their 3,000 favorite locations - or quite possibly the airport maps. Perhaps there is a need to listen to traffic information services and maybe voice prompts will be welcome. You might also want to refer to satellite radio and weather updates.
Some of the more obvious features that sell the Garmin GPSMAP 60CSX to anybody that likes such things:
Particularly highly-sensitive GPS receiver, powered by a SiRFSTARIII chip (tracks your positioning so much better, even under dense canopies or in deep canyons).
Bright color (tft) screen, making maps and readouts so much easier to read in daylight – even in direct sunlight.
64MB Storage Card for uploading more maps (or more detailed versions of maps), with a card slot for the cards to be changed over, so creating unlimited storage capacity.
Barometric Altimeter to record every change of height, no matter what the terrain.
Electronic Compass, which in a Garmin GPSMAP 60CSX, is equally capable on land or water.
Waterproof (great for the unexpected - puddles, waves or whatever).
Lightweight; ideal for holding in the hand whilst trekking - or fixing to just about anywhere, like handlebars or a dashboard (less than 28 ounces or if you prefer, 1.7 lbs; 800 grams).
More than 20 hours of battery life before recharging (some say nearer 30).
Connect to any computer using a USB cable, to load up fresh map data, transfer routes and trails, or customise locations.
If you’re choosing for a significant other in your life, you can believe that they will most certainly enjoy exploring all of these features, plus the more detailed capabilities of a Garmin GPSMAP 60CSX. Yes, the Garmin GPS Map CSX is right for them.
So now we can return to the opening question - and answer YES, the Garmin GPSMAP 60CSX REALLY IS WORTH the money!
