GARMIN GPSMAP60

Our shop and our offices remain closed until end of September. You may try to reach us using the contact form.

Hand held GPS receiver with large gray scale display, integrated world and Europe/Africa map, auto-routing, USB and serial interface.

The GARMIN GPSMAP60 is very easy to use thanks to its rocker key and user friendly graphical interface. It supports multiple languages, has an integrated world map (overview) plus a base map of Europe, Africa and the near East. In addition, it has 24 MB of built-in memory to store even more detailed information, such as local roads, restaurants and points of interest. The extremely sensitive antenna provides navigation information outdoors, in a car, in a train or even in an airplane (see MapSource examples). Because of the very low power consumption, the batteries of the GPSMAP60 last up to 28 hours. The built-in serial and USB interface support data exchange with a PC.

Data fields:

Selection 1: For each data field, you can choose one from the following 39 values.

No	Name	Explanation
