Summary: This thing is bad ass
Comment: So far I have taken this thing skydiving, snowmobiling, snowboarding, backpacking, and navigating the city streets. I could not have asked for a better GPS. the altimeter, speed, compass works perfect.

Summary: Significant improvement over the 60CS
Comment: I bought this unit to replace my GPSMap 60CS, and use it primarily for bicycling, cross-country skiing and hiking. The 60CSx is a significant improvement over the 60CS in that it keeps a better lock on satelites in heavy cover, better battery life, and faster software. The expandable memory also allows the unit to easily store many more POI's and maps. Also, my 60CS had a problem with the batteries losing contact, which I subsequently had repaired by Garmin. So far, my 60CSx has not had that problem. I am very satisfied with this unit.

Summary: Excellent Service, Excellent GPSr
Comment: I recently purchased the GPSMAP 60CSx through Amazon, and am completely satisfied with the unit. Just to cover a few earlier 'cons' that I read on other reviews:

(1) The customer service from Garmin was outstanding for me. The button that screws into the back of the unit was missing (as I found when I ordered the Auto Nav Kit), so I called to talk to Garmin about getting one shipped. I had someone on the phone in less than 1 minute and they immediately took care of the problem with no quesitons.

(2) Yes, the basemap that comes with the unit isn't that great. What people need to understand is that a full installation of the City Navigator maps for North America would take up about 1.5 gigs... the chip is only a 64M. If you're willing to spend the money on this unit, buy good maps and a larger microSD card. It's like buying an RV and then complaining about the fuel economy. Plus, some people may not even want those maps, and prefer the topo maps. Just buy what you want.

For the pros: This thing is full of them. I receive reception of 5 satellites in the basement of my house: Unbelieveable. I remember having problems getting that kind of reception when I worked for a mobile mapping company with a $30K unit.

Summary: A Geographer's Two Cents
Comment: I am a graduate student in the field of geography and would consider the 60Csx one of the better units available in its price range. Handheld Garmins seem to provide comparable accuracy to much more expensive mapping grade GPS units. The extra cost for the better antenna in the 60CSx is well worth it. I've been able to get a good position fix indoors and in pretty dense tree cover, something which I understand is difficult with the lower-end units. In addition, despite many reports to the contrary, I think Garmin's MapSource US topo software (sold separately) is a nice addition to the basemap provided on this GPS. Just don't expect it to completely replace paper maps in the backcountry.
