T he Garmin GPSmap 60CSx is a GPS receiver that holds the top position in the Garmin handheld segment and is specifically designed for consumers. The Garmin features a waterproof housing and has been equipped with a built-in SiRF receiver, a barometric altimeter, a compass and a basic map. The GPSmap 60CSx also features a fairly large colour TFT monitor and a microSD card to store the routes. We have been able to extensively test this GPS receiver in practice.

Outdoor GPS review

GPS stands for Global Positioning System and is no more than a navigation system that works through satellites. The advantage of GPS is the fact that it works everywhere on earth, at all times and in all weather conditions. Each of these GPS satellites circles the globe, making two complete rotations twice a day whilst sending out signals to the earth. GPS receivers receive this information and are capable of calculating their own location and position with utmost precision.

 

 

Garmin 60CSx GPS review

You will have to play with the GPS receiver for a while before you are familiar with its operation. And that's no wonder when we look at the many possibilities the device offers. The manual will help you with this, although there is no comprehensive explanation as to what every function does exactly. However, once you are used to the navigation possibilities the menu is quite user-friendly and you will find out that frequently used functions are accessible by pressing the button once or twice. Garmin deserves praise for keeping an enhanced device such as the GPS 60SCx, this user-friendly. Want to know more about the extensive features of this GPS receiver?
