This comes with just a weak basemap of the US so you’re going to have to buy the detailed street maps if you want that kind of info and to store a large section of the US, you’ll need lots of extra memory.
I will be using one for Ultralight flying across the US. The price is right for the GPSMAP 60 but wasn’t sure if I should pay the extra $100 and get the CSX. Do you think I would be able to see the maps better if they were in color? And also the 60 just has internal memory. Any advice? thanks.
It comes with a useless basemap. You need to buy the maps. Not sure what is available for South America though and if you buy an inland lakes map, not sure if you’ll get turn by turn street directions. Call Garmin and they’ll tell you. You might have to wait on hold awhile, but they’re very good at giving you advice once you get through.
hey whats up i just got my garmin gps yesterday and i have the garmin world map on it but i want the inland lake one I’ll be using it more for fishing trips and the prob is i live in south america so do they have it for south america inland lakes??
thanx
thats good
You need City Navigator or something like that to get places of interest and stuff like that.
and in the second vid you showed places of interest. i can find that on mine..
i can only see waypoints, geocache, cites, exits, recent finds and marine ..
please help me (have i paid 200 for a defected gps)
hey man ive lost the CD for the software can give me a link where i can get the software?
ive searched it on google ut coluldnt find it ? please thanks
In some places, but not all.
You can get a satellite signal from inside a house?
I was looking at getting that model…
do you know if maps for japan (in enlish AND/OR japanese)
Nice, quick overview. Very useful for new users.
Dude, your a life saver!!!!!!!!!!! it really easyer to watch then to read and try to understand what they are talking about
Great video! Its really helpful seeing it rather than reading about it in the book!
I’ve seen the Colorado (didn’t like the scroll wheel thing) and the Oregon – screen seemed dark and you can accidentally press buttons on the touch screen if you have it in you pocket, but I’m thinking the Oregon would be next one, but I’m waiting to see if something better comes out. I bought a Nuvi 500 and it’s really dumbed down as far as you can save tracklogs, don’t think you can upload routes (but I might be wrong) and battery life of the Nuvi 500 is less than 5 or 6 hours.
At the present, is still Garmin map60CSx the best in prize and funcionality? someone know about a new model? I wanna buy one.
Both the Colorado and Oregon do paperless geocaching, which I’m dying to get.
But… Garmin just came out with the Garmin NUVI 500 – which does paperless geocaching and which I suspect might have a better/bigger screen. I’m dying to see a video or meet someone with one to see if it gets as good reception as the 60CSX.
But – that’s what I’m considering for my next GPS. It’s also pretty cheap compared to Colorado or Oregon.
The map isn’t great. I haven’t seen a Tom Tom, but I suspect the larger the screen, the better.
I know two people who recently bought a Garmin Colorado and a Garmin Oregon. Both screens when in battery (not cigarette lighter) were VERY hard to read.
And the guy who have the Oregon said it lost the signal under dense tree cover in the woods.
The Colorado seems similar in reception to the 60CSX.
more.. next comment…
hey i’m thinking about getting the 60CSx. I’m moving to Seoul, South Korea and will be expected travel to different addresses in different districts of the city several times a day – on a 125cc.
my question is – how well, and in how much detail, does the gps graphically represent street/urban maps? the only gps i’ve used before was a TomTom rectangular in-car one, so how well does it compare with that? oh, and i also would like to use it a pedestrian occasionally too (again, in the city).
ty!
The Csx is great for trails and marine use. It is really tedious to use in the truck. For any on road use the NUVI is a touch screen worth having. Much easier!!
It’ll automatically recalculate your route, if you have that feature turned on.
That’s cool … but what happen when you “missing” one of the roads? Stop helping you or warning you … like … “you’re in wrong road” … etc … I need more info please.
I dont like the fact that the basemap cannot be changed. If you buy it in the usa the basemap is for usa and cannnot be changed for europe. Much better of using a pda and choosing youre own software
I have many gps s and have discovered that a dedicated mobile gps is by far the best for use inside a car.
A small specialized hiking gps is best for hiking. etc…
A phone gps is fine for walking about the town, but is really bad for car use or hiking.
does it say outloud directions?
