GARMIN GPSMAP60CS / GPSMAP60CSx

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 color display, electronic compass, barometrical altimeter, integrated world and Europe/Africa map, auto-routing, USB and serial interface.

The GARMIN GPSMAP60CS / GPSMAP60CSx 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. As an enhancement over the GPSMAP60C / GPSMAP60Cx, the GPSMAP60CS has an electronic compass and a barometrical altimeter. In addition, the GPSMAP60C has 56 MB of built-in memory to store even more detailed information, such as local roads, restaurants and points of interest. The GPSMAP60Cx has a slot for a standard micro SD memory card in the battery compartment and comes with a 64 MB memory card. 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 GPSMAP60CS / GPSMAP60CSx last up to 20 hours. The built-in serial and USB interface support data exchange with a PC.

¹) In order to check the heading with a GPS, a minimal movement with a speed of at least 5..8 km/h (3..5 mi/h) is required. Where no movement is not possible, a compass is needed.
²) Even though a GPS provides accurate elevation information, the value slightly varies continuously. A barometrical altimeter is therefore more accurate, especially when summarizing elevation changes.
³) TTFF: Time To First Fix, time until the first information about the current position is acquired.
