You can use the 60CSx's memory card slot with preprogrammed microSD cards from Garmin (sold separately) that provide topographic maps, city streets, and nautical charts. In fact, the unit is compatible with most Garmin MapSource products including BlueChart, City Navigator, U.S. Topo 24K, and U.S. Topo and Recreational Lakes with Fishing Hot Spots. The unit comes preloaded with an Americas autoroute basemap that provides automatic routing capabilities including highways, exits, and tide data. There's also a preloaded marine point database. You can even get turn-by-turn directions when you're driving, and an integrated trip computer provides odometer, stopped time, moving average, overall average, total time, max speed, and more.

The 60CSx's 2.6-inch, 256-color TFT color display is designed to present mapping and trip information clearly and accurately in any lighting conditions.

Geocaching Tool
I bought this specifically for Geocaching and it has done a great job helping us find caches that we could not find with satellite pictures. I would like to get the street map software and try this out as I hear that it works great when you need to find your way from one cache site another using roads. The 2 AA batteries lasted about 30 hours so I can not complain there. The only thing this GPS needs is a mosquito repellent dispenser.

best i have ever used
my old garmin gps12CX finally gave up the ghost after many years of good service, i thought it would be hard to beat the performance i had from the old one, the 60CSx is miles ahead in the lock time and maintaining the satellite lock in difficult terrain. places where the old one lost lock or bounced around terribly this one is steady as a rock. i also like the geocaching feature. it would be nice if the buyer could chose the initial map data base at the time of purchase

Excellent GPS!!
Upgraded my old Magellin to this 60Csx. Wow, i loved my old Magellin but compared to the 60Csx it's not even in the same class. The screen colors are bright and vivid and easy to read. The sattalite signals ore a good 25-50% better on the 60Csx. I have not figured everything out yet but I have tried the auto navigation and it is amazingly accurate. It even took me the back way and stayed off busy roads. For under $300 it's a great investment.
