    Garming GPS - great hardware LOUSY SOFTWARE

    By adventurous  May 18, 2006 | 22 out of 22 found this Garmin GPSMAP 60CSx review helpful

    Pros: Superb hardware, easy to use, durable and feature rich

    Cons: Basemap is WORTHLESS - Count on adding $100 just to make it functional!! And then good luck finding any dealers that carry the software!

    It was time to upgrade my old Magellan Sportrak soI went with the best out there - the 60CSX. Out of the box I loved it.. but the basemap was horrible.. far worse than any of the magellan products. Strike one.. So after spending $400 I decided I need...ed a $100 topo map.. I went on line to Garmin and they DO NOT OFFER DIRECT DOWLOAD of maps... CDs only and it takes a week to get them! Strike Two.... So I picked up the phone and called EVERY dealer listed in the Phoenix metro area to see if they carried the Topo disc... after over an hour calling walmarts, REIs, Sports Authorities.. I end up paying full retail $116 + tax at a small ma and pa hiking place. WHAT A JOKE! Garmin needs to step up its software effort BIG TIME. Honestly, I was one step away from taking the unit back.. but alas - I uploaded the maps and the unit truly is a work of art... 10X better than my Sportrak.. I would agree it probably is the nicest handheld unit out there right now.... albeit an expensive one. Garmin - if you ever read these ... how about a usable base map + a user friendly website where customers with $$ can go to download your products instead of wasting time looking for CDs... and getting aggravated!!! Anyone considering this unit... I give it a 5 for hardware... 1 (Zero?) for software and support! DA Read more Less

    By Kevin  Dec 25, 2006 | 6 out of 6 found this Garmin GPSMAP 60CSx review helpful

    Pros: It's a Garmin

    Cons: Memory & Reinstalling software.

    Overall, I love it. This is my 3rd Garmin. (Garmin 38 & 12xl) I liked them as well. The first 2 are still being used by relatives. I had a little trouble with the software on one, but Garmin gave me a "no-hassle" exchange. I got this Garm...in 60csx to hike & canoe with. Vehicle use was an additional benefit & I bought the city maps I unexpectedly fell in love with that feature too. I had some difficulty switching from street to topo maps, so I just change memory chips for each function. The other problem was limited use of installation CD's. I'm a little hard on chips & these are small & fragile looking (but inexpensive). I figured I could always reinstall the map info on a new chip if I damaged them. All the map info on the CD won't fit on most chips (aftermarket chips are MUCH bigger) but you have to pick & choose what maps you want. It seems that Garmin has some use restriction on their Map CD's. I guess if it ever becomes a problem, I'll contact Garmin. They have the best customer service dept I have seen in a very long time. I have little doubt that they wouldn't fix whatever problem I might have. (In the future) I have 3 hard drives in my computer & occasionally trash my computer "toying with it" Often I have to reinstall (all types) of software if I want to move it from one hard drive to another on my computer. Satellite reception is quick & very good. City navigation maps are excellent. TOPO's are adequate. Can’t go wrong with a Garmin. Read more Less
