Manufacturer's Description
The GPSMAP 60Cx is a refreshing upgrade of the GPSMAP 60C, 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.

Considered the mainstay among serious outdoor enthusiasts, the GPSMAP 60Cx and GPSMAP 60CSx 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.

A good piece of kit. Locks on to GPS signal very quickly and is fairly swift at working out a route. It's a bit chunky, like the mobile phones of a couple or so years back. It has a fixed aerial which stands proud of the case by a couple of inches and generally feels very solid. The menu system takes a little getting used to and can be a bit clunky and time consuming if you want to locate a specific address. Not off puttinly so, just a bit long winded. GB post code acceptance would be a help :-)

The supplied maps are OK, but if you want to do any serious walking be prepared to buy maps to add. To date I have only bought the Topo GB V2 one, which seems fine (would like those post codes though), plenty of detail and you get to choose which bits you need to upload to the GPSMap rather than having to put the whole thing on, which is good. Big pain in the butt though is the unlocking procedure for the map. It's a fiddly business, especially if the software protection (Norton's, Ghostsurf etc.) on your computer prevents data from the Garmin unlocking web site. Never come across that before so maybe it's me, anyway the guys at Garmin¡¦s are very helpful if you have to call them; which I did. All in all a nice GPS, little bit pricy though I thought but YMMV.
