Summary: GPS navigator
Comment: Simply a marvel in the world of GPS navigation. This little baby is one of the few handheld navigators I have seen that guides you turn-by-turn to your destination. The anntena on this thing is so beefy that the signal literally never cuts out. It is accurate in the most dense of vegitation; it would probably help you navigate your way out of the bottom of a war bunker if you needed it. Tons of great features, compatible with most garmin software, and is all around the most bangin' of GPS devices out there.

Summary: Great GPS
Comment: We had a street guide GPS, but that wasn't easy to use for geocaching. This machine is great!

Screens are intuitive. It took a bit of work to learn more advanced features, but we were able to use it right out of the box the first day we got it.

Satellite reception is awesome. Our other GPS can't find a satelites indoors or even when the sky is overcast - and loses reception every time we pass under a bridge. This device is rock solid. I have never had a time when I could not receive enough satellites to naviate.

REALLY glad I bought it!

Summary: A great hiking companion
Comment: The product worked flawlessly on my hikes into the mountains of Washington state and it gave me great data and worked well with the Garmin topo maps. Excellent reception from the satellites. I agonized on the idea of giving up features available on the newest Magellen product (voice recording/camera) but those features are not worth the wait and cost at this time. It has a shortcoming of not being able to save tracks to the SIM card which is especially glaring when the meager memory fills and it starts to overwrite the data. Its basic road feature that gave me a little more confidence when I drove unfamiliar roads but I wish it was able to transfer data from road map software. Overall I'm pretty happy with the purchase and product.

Summary: Awesome Handheld GPS Receiver
Comment: This is the second handheld receiver I have owned in as many years. My first was a Magellan ExPlorist 500. I purchased it in haste and did not read any reviews or do any research about it. I purchased the street map software in addition so as to be able to navigate to any desired location. I broke it in on a road trip from Alabama to Tennessee to Ohio to Pennsylvania to Washington, D.C. to Virginia and finally back home to Alabama. In all, I was happy with the ability to enter a destination and be directed close enough to find the exact location.
The cable connection on the back of the unit is its weak link. There is a very small screw on the cable that threads into an equally small hole. This cable is used to send and receive data and also recharge the battery. I accidentally overtightened, just a bit, and stripped the threads on the hole. The cable would not stay attached without taping it to the unit....frustrating. The rechargable battery's life was not very long either.

In desperation I looked for a replacement. I got over the inital sticker shock of what a quality unit would cost. I spent two weeks researching different units but all reviews pointed toward the 60csx. It had more "bells and whistles" and the quality Garmin name. The additional software needed to navigate down to street level is awesome but pricey.

The data cable for this unit is more solid and the connection has no screws to overtighten. The included cable is a miniature USB connection and the software is a breeze to set up. The unlock code process will prevent you from using more than one unit with it but you can install the software on more than one computer.

Some argue that you can get a "car only" unit for less that already has all of the maps...true. But I can take mine with me anywhere...car, woods, bicycle, walking, etc....try that with a car unit that does not come with a belt clip.

I did not care if it played movies, pictures or mp3's...I'm driving! I should not need to watch movies or pictures while doing that. As for music, I already have that covered.

There is no voice that tells you what turns to take. I did not need that feature....my wife does just fine in that area (I love you dear).

In all, this unit packs a lot of features that I have yet to explore and I am very pleased with it. I found the best price here with amazon.com and also purchased the windshield mount which is rock solid and adjusts to any needed angle...it even allows the unit to be rotated 360 degrees once it is attached.

My unit shipped with a 128MB card instead of the listed 64MB. I purchased a 2GB card and had plenty of room to load the entire US and Canada maps. Batteries are rated for 18-20 hours and I would have to agree with that....have used for the past month on a daily basis.

Lock on with satellites is very quick as compared to the Magellan unit....really quick. I turned unit off before leaving my house and turned back on after traveling for 60 miles.....it took about 52 seconds to find me. Magellan would have taken minutes!!!! Garmin has got a winning vote from me!

This unit is also great for geocaching! Just check out www.geocaching.com and discover that they are very Garmin friendly!
