CTC's new GPS - Garmin GPSMAP 60CSx
Peter Van Geit
Just received our new GPS from Bhagat whose friend brought it from the US last weekend –
It comes with a higher sensitive receiver then the previous Garmin Visa HCSx which should be useful when trekking under dense forest cover or near vertical rock formations. We’re ready to take on OG/2 and other trail-less treks now…

The GPSMAP 60CSx adds several performance-enhancing features to the popular 60-series products, including a removable microSD™ card, high-sensitivity GPS receiver, barometric altimeter and electronic compass.
Pinpoint Your Location — and Direction
With the GPSMAP 60CSx, you can find your way in almost any conditions:
- High-sensitivity GPS receiver gives you improved satellite reception even in heavy tree cover or deep canyons
- Barometric altimeter provides extremely accurate elevation data
- Electronic compass can determine your heading and direction, even when you're standing still
- IPX7 waterproof case can withstand an accidental dunk in the water and still perform
- Large, color TFT display makes viewing the screen easy, day or night
- Built-in Americas autoroute basemap, including highways, exits and tide data, gives you automatic, turn-by-turn directions
Add More Detail
The 60CSx comes with a blank 64 megabyte (MB) microSD card, so you can store extra maps from optional MapSource® mapping software. Just connect to your computer with the USB cable, and you can load map data or transfer routes and waypoints. You can even purchase microSD cards that are preloaded with MapSource maps, which means you don't have to connect to your computer. The microSD card slot is located inside the waterproof battery compartment, so you never have to worry about water getting inside.
