GPSMAP 60

Pros: Speed, power and functionality.

Cons: Cost, manual.

The Bottom Line: A great little GPS unit that serves well in the car or on foot. A good value over the competition.

Review: This is a great little GPS (Global Positioning System) unit and we still continue to be impressed with how much it does. We have owned the unit for about 4 months and still cannot be happier with the purchase. Our main motivation for getting a GPS unit ...

Pros: Durable and weather resistant, great/bright display, accurate topo maps, easy to use and understand.

Cons: Not compatable with Mac's (bummer), some the topo maps roads are also quite dated

The Bottom Line: Great product that has proven much more valuable than I originally thought

Review: After having this unit for about a year and using it for everything including hiking, hunting, skiing, and driving I cannot say enough good things about it. Though I have never submerged it for prolonged periods of time, I have slipped and fell into a ...

Pros: Works! Easy to use! What else can I say?

Cons: Maps need to be bought separately

The Bottom Line: Works great! No problems!

Review: Wonderful screen; intuitive interface; what are you waiting for? When you buy the add-on mapsource software, you get great auto navigation. The color screen is very good; high resolution & colorful. Very readable in broad daylight. You do need to ...

Pros: Aquisition time is fast, USB, Long battery life, Easy to read screen

Cons: Additional Map are expensive ex. CitySelect

The Bottom Line: Great quality product for your money. For $240, it suits all my needs and its affordable.

Review: Having own 2 Garmin GPS units, this one is far the best one. I have had the Garmin 12XL and Garmin eTrex Vista. The Garmin eTex Vista was terrible and expensive. I did a lot of hiking with it and it simply did not like any trees and needed a clear ...

Pros: Handheld, compact, rugged, fantastic battery life - IT Works!

Cons: Needs additional Mapsource software, older technology for signal acquisition. Screen harder to see in shade.

The Bottom Line: Older model, but still great - Check that it is priced accordingly. Older chipset harder to get fix in trees or urban setting with tall buildings. Great outdoor general-use Unit.

Review: I bought the Garmin GPSMAP 60C about 3 years ago and can’t imagine traveling without it now. Its features include: Sunlight-readable display with 256-color transreflective TFT display (1.5" W x 2.2" H; 2.6" diagonally); color operating system ...

Pros: Fantastic display, sensitivity and accuracy. Truly useable in a car and hiking.

Cons: To be honest, not much. Buy one - it's great!

The Bottom Line: It looks really good and works extremely well. Be careful when you are driving: the screen is so pretty, you just can't help staring!!

Review: I have been road testing a 60c and compared it to other non-colour models such as the Etrex, Etrex Vista, and the Garmin map76S. The result was, I had to buy one for myself. It looks a bit like a big mobile phone so I don't feel too daft walking ...

Pros: Everything!

Cons: non-upgradeable memory. However it's more than enough

The Bottom Line: I'd not be without this bit of a kit when the weather turns for the worse!

Review: After carrying out a fair bit of research and reading loads of users reviews, my choice was between the Garmin MAP60cs and either the Magellan Meridian Colour or the Magellan Meridian Platinum. (Both the 60CS and Platinum have a barometric altimiter, ...

Pros: Size, Screen clarity, Response time, accuracy. My son loves the games.

Cons: Price. PC Software looks like something from 1980's. Software is VERY expensive.

Review: Being the first GPS unit I have owned and starting my geocaching hobby, this has been a treat with the accuracy and features of this model. Our first run at it we did in the dark and WHAM right on target. What a rush. ...

Pros: Geocaching, color screen, accessories

Cons: Price

Review: I really like this GPSr. It's very easy to use. And since I'm into geocaching, I really like the geocaching ability. When you are looking to a cache, it tells you how far away and which heading. Then, when you find it and select the "Found it" button, it ...

Pros: Solid, rugged GPS unit that is ready for the trail

Cons: Pricey, fixed memory.

Review: I previously owned (and reviewed) the Garmin ETrex Legend, which I found to be too fragile for trail use. The 60cs series is a huge improvement over the ETrex line! Here's the improvements that I found most useful: * Color display - a must for topo ...
