Garmin GPSMAP 60CSx Handheld - 010-00422-00

The last of the good Garmins

This is the last GPS model Garmin made that was useful for me. The battery contacts don.t last vey long, the power button won't either, but they work great when they are in good shape. It has some useless frills (I know when to fish and hunt, but thanks anyway) but still fundamentally tells me where I am, interacts with mapping programs, and doesn't have all junk (really, I didn't buy this thing to plot a cross-country mountain bike trip) the added to subsequent models. Garmin missed the big boat by becoming, like Trimble, too specialized for their own good. They have been left behind by the BYOD (Bring your own device) GPS companies and in my opinion have only one way of staying relevant - become one of the few iOS compatible survey grade GPS companies. But they won't. Listen Garmin- we need an affordable, GNSS device with 1-2 m accuracy that simply collects points or paths, has a decent screen and takes topo chips. Bluetooth to IOS would be nice. That is all.Read full review

Desappointed

I had a GPS like this a long time ago and I really liked its performance, it is a great GPS, for those I bought this refurbished believing that it made a good purchase, but I was disappointed because it did not bring its manual, or cables, or chargers and also I do not know You can't connect it to Garmin or Mapsource. I don't know why you have that problem. I think I paid too much for him.Read full review

Absolutely the best

The GPSMap60CSx is, in my opinion, the easiest and most practical GPS unit that Garmin has produced to date. All the features are logical. The screen is easy to read, and it is easy to configure for the type of GPS activity the user is doing. Unfortunately, it is no longer produced.Read full review

I love my Garmin

First off I want to say I have used Garmin GPS units for many years. It started back with the GPS 12, through the Etrex series, on to the Oregon, and the latest was the GPSmap 64. Of all I have owned the 60csx is my favorite. I not saying the others are inferior, I'm saying I feel at home with the 60csx. As for accuracy, it's at the top of the list and very easy to find your way around the menus.
I worked for the Salt Lake County Surveyors department for over thirty years. Our job was to find old control points set out in the 1800's. In the valley, finding these point was easy, but as we moved up into the mountains surrounding Salt Lake City the work really slowed down. Thank god the GPS units came out. By using a Garmin 60csx we could find one point and then use the project waypoint menu, enter the azimuth and distance to locate the next point. Even in narrow canyons and pine forests we could get a signal and continue our search. The recovery work became much more productive and enjoyable.
I give all the Garmin GPS units a high mark but the 60csx first place.Read full review

Like New! Excellent Product

This was like brand new. This is my third one. I have filled 2 up with waypoints for work. I like how easy to operate and they "talk" with my old TOPO! mapping.

Title is accurate.

For back country use, or even travelling by car or airplane, this is one of the best, if not the best, GPS units Garmin ever produced.

Garmin GPSmap 60CSX - a great unit!

This is a great unit. All the menus are well laid out and easy to use. It is intuitive, in that one does not need to consult the instruction manual in order to use this device. This is in sharp contrast to the GPSmap 64CSX where--presumably to make it more 'glitzy'--Garmin completely ruined the layout and design. THAT unit is hard to use, completely counter-intuitive, complicated and obscure. One is reliant on the manual, even having used the unit for a while. Stupid, stupid Garmin! They had a winner, then ruined it. (I know, I have both units.) Stick with the 60CSX!Read full review

Best GPS Unit

When I sold my utv I had a Garmin 60CSx mounted in it so I let it go with the machine. Then for my new machine I bought a Garmin 64st, big mistake. Then 64st would not work with my Nat Geo Topo program so I returned it. Then I ordered another 60CSx like I had before. It was used but looked and worked like new, works with my software too. I have it securely mounted on my new utv and I works perfectly even on tough very rocky trails.Read full review
