What our customer's say!

"Awesome product that performs just as expected.", I have owned this unit for over a month now and I can say nothing but good things about it. I was out in the woods with a friend looking for orchids, and while my friend's GPS would occasionally lose its signal entirely, this unit kept a steady lock on the satellites and claimed a +-20 foot accuracy even within the deepest of swamps. The built-in compass means that you can just point and watch the map rotate around to determine direction to a waypoint or geocache that you're trying to locate (or see your previous track into the woods and find a way to get back to it).

The fact that it keeps track of unlocated geocaches as a separate set of waypoints (although you can view them in the overall waypoint list) makes it a great tool for geocaching.

The included map is not very good (but that is to be expected with any unit, it seems), but I was able to find freeware maps on-line that are nicely detailed down to streets, water features, etc. I can't speak as to the quality of the topo maps, as I haven't gotten them. I also have not tried using street mapping and route calculation, as this is not what I purchased this unit for.

It has also proved to be a good exercise tool, keeping track of time and distance traveled while walking, and also giving you an instantaneous speed reading as well as overall moving and overall (moving and still) average speeds. I have logged over 69 miles hiking over about 4 weeks with this unit so far.



"Geocaching Tool", I bought this specifically for Geocaching and it has done a great job helping us find caches that we could not find with satellite pictures. I would like to get the street map software and try this out as I hear that it works great when you need to find your way from one cache site another using roads. The 2 AA batteries lasted about 30 hours so I can not complain there. The only thing this GPS needs is a mosquito repellent dispenser.

"best i have ever used", my old garmin gps12CX finally gave up the ghost after many years of good service, i thought it would be hard to beat the performance i had from the old one, the 60CSx is miles ahead in the lock time and maintaining the satellite lock in difficult terrain. places where the old one lost lock or bounced around terribly this one is steady as a rock. i also like the geocaching feature. it would be nice if the buyer could chose the initial map data base at the time of purchase

"Excellent GPS!!", Upgraded my old Magellin to this 60Csx. Wow, i loved my old Magellin but compared to the 60Csx it's not even in the same class. The screen colors are bright and vivid and easy to read. The sattalite signals ore a good 25-50% better on the 60Csx. I have not figured everything out yet but I have tried the auto navigation and it is amazingly accurate. It even took me the back way and stayed off busy roads. For under $300 it's a great investment.

"Always know where you are!", Great GPS with great accuracy and fast sattelite acquisition. Works well in heavily wooded environments. We had an E-Trex Legend before, but this is clearly a step above and well worth the money if you desire an accurate and fast updating GPS.

Read this reviews before You buy...

"Garmin GPS 60CSx", I am 100 percent happy with this handheld gps. I have had it for about 6 weeeks now. I have a 2gig card that is loaded with most of the western states from the City Navigtor NT disc and Topo 2008. I use the City Nav for creating routes with turn-by-turn directions and I use the topo when I get into the forests so I can view more of the roads and trails with topo view.

I was looking for a gps that would offer me the most flexibility on my dual sport motorcycle. After lots of research, I found that this gps offered the most features and flexibilty...period. I like that I can use it on the bike, in the car or as a handheld.

For me the CSx was only complete after purchasing the City Nav NT and Topo 2008 maps and a larger 2gig card to hold the large portions of these maps. these additions make the CSx much more expensive but, still the best for the money and my needs. I found Amazon had the best prices of each of the these items that I could find.

It should be noted that you can only view either the City Nav map or the Topo map at a time and only the City Nav map is routeable. I have found that I use the City Nav most of the time and turn it off to view the Topo map when I get into the forest. I have also found that you can set a route with turn-by-turn directions in City Nav then turn City Nav off to viw Topo and it still retains the turn-by-turn capability.

Best all-around gps with little compormise!


"Best GPS for Geocaching", This GPS is great. Ideal for geocaching and hiking. Built in basemap is pretty lame though. Plan on buying USA topo map for it and a larger micro sd card if you want to load in lots of maps.
This GPS will do turn by turn street navigation with "city" maps. But if you want a gps primarily for driving, pick a dedicated automobile navigation GPS.

"Patricks review above", Wonder what Patrick is talking about. The product was launched less than 6 months ago. Patrick said his warranty expired...and complained about the short one year warranty.Sorry Patrick...but the math does not make yours a credible story. I own this product and love it.Matt

"Terrible Experience with Customer Support", I bought it as I was traveling to Croatia and wanted a rugged, waterproof GPS.

I discovered after buying it that the maps were very expensive ($300). And Garmin does all it can to prevent open source mapping applications from accessing the internals of their devices. So I used it without a map.

It would at least help me get back to my hotel every night.

The warranty on the unit is only 1 year. This is absurdly short for a premium priced product.

The keypad failed on my unit shortly after the warranty expired. After a 25 minute wait on the phone for customer service (that's service?) the woman on the phone informed me that the cost to swap my unit for a functional gps would be $150!!!!!

That is WAY more than half the amount I payed for the the unit in the first place.

I took meticulous care of this GPS. For example, the plastic is still attached to the LCD screen to prevent scratches! Yet it failed.

I have never owned a Garmin product before and am now very dubious about their quality control.

And I am extremely unhappy with their customer service. I plan on spending a great deal of time and effort getting out the word on their customer service.

"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!
