Customer Review: this is GREAT!
wow! I have never owned a GPS before but with this GARMIN 60CSX Im sold! it does way more than I thought it would and is right on when putting in lat & long manually, I purchased a topo map seperately and was happy with the added results, much more detail including city streets,
it seems pretty rugged and has only not aquired sats once, I don’t know why but it may be something all GPS do from time to time,
I highly recomend this for the novice! it gives way more info an a trip or around your area than you could imagine! time on the road ..speed..time until you reach a destination, beeps when your close.. it’s unreal!! get this device and have some great times outdoors!
Customer Review: Nice little tool.
This is a nice sized unit. The display is adequate in size and VERY clear. I especially like the fact that the screen is so clear in sunlight. The only problem is that it is a bit difficult to read when in the shade or mottled shade. The auto-night screen is very handy as the contrast changes to be more useful at night. I have already dopped it a few times with no ill results. The buttons and menus seem to be arranged in a logical fashion. However, the toggle could be slightly larger so that one doesn’t accidentally toggle to the wrong place. My thumb is large so this is a bit of an issue. It uses 2 AA batteries, which I favor as that is what my camera and flashlight use. Therefore I only need one type of batteries on a trip and can always use the batteries from another device as spares if my actual spare supply is depleted. I haven’t had this long, so can’t be more specific on features. However, this unit was recommended by a professional surveyor as a good unit for the money.
