Garmin 60 CSX GPS Unit
Nearly Perfect Functionality
By Jonathan S. Shefftz
Ranked #92 - Trail Running Accessories
August 29, 2009
Let's get all the perfection out of the way first:-- almost eerily reliable reception (like, all those satellite signals are always present around us?)-- very rugged housing (don't ask me how I know...)-- fairly large screen-- reasonable battery life, especially with lithium batteries-- large selection of free base maps available at www.gpsfiledepot.comHow could it be better?-- Track long limitation of 20 saved tracks with 500 points each is a pain if you're using track longs to serve as a trail map overlay.-- Could be a bit less pricey, then you can just get the 60Cx (and use a separate compass and altimeter).-- Could be a bit smaller and lighter, but then you can just get the Legend/Vista HCx.(Photo is of trying to find the hiking trail outlet after skiing King Ravine.)
