Refreshing a GPS Standard
The GPSMAP 60CSx is a refreshing upgrade of the
GPSMAP 60CS,
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. The GPSMAP 60CSx also incorporates a barometric
altimeter for extremely accurate elevation data and an
electronic compass that displays an accurate heading while
standing still.
Considered the mainstay among serious outdoor enthusiasts,
the GPSMAP 60CSx and
GPSMAP 60Cx
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.
