Advantages: touch-screen controls are intuitive,accurate Disadvantages: none
A great product! The touch-screen controls are intuitive. The navigation instructions are accurate to within a few meters. It does very well in rural and urban areas and hasn't let me down yet. The mounting system has worked very well for me, with no problems. If you mount the unit close enough to your car's radio and keep it plugged in to your lighter socket via the power cord, the wireless FM transmitter provides clear sound for MP3s that you can ...

Advantages: size, userfriendly, all-purpose navigation Disadvantages: pricing for device and maps, map-activation
The Garmin GPSMAP 60 CSx is the extended Version of the GPSMAP 60 Cx. While the case is same size and format, the CSx shows up with a barometric altimeter and an electronic compass. I use it for several purposes. Traveling statistics, autorouting, topo/directions and waypoint navigation are those functions I mainly use. The intuitive interface helps to use the software without having to read the manual.
A basemap is installed ex factory, with the ... ...on 'bad roads'). Unfortunately, Garmin doesn't offer a mounting for motocycles, so I had to get a 3rd party retainer from Europe (Touratech)
The CSx 60 runs with 2AA batteries. Using powercables (not delivered), the device is able to run with external powersources (carbatteries) and is also able to deal with AA-rechargable batteries (has to be activated if you want to use it). All in all, the CSx60 with the right maps and accessories is a great ...

Advantages: Easy to use Disadvantages: kinda long inputing process
Advantages: Pretty Accurate
Disadvantages: some steps take more time to input
Recommend to potential buyers: yes Full review I just entered the job market and have attended many job interviews which require driving to unfamilar places. Before I got the Tom Tom I had to look up the address and print out maps on Mapquest everytime.
But now with the Tom Tom I save time and paper.
Right now I work for a temp agency which sends me to different ... ...The Tom Tom provides clear directions by voice and audio at a glance.
Accurate positioning with easy access to traffic information
It also calculates smarter routes which I use to remove freeway driving. I am not that great at freeway
driving and I find useful that I can remove streets and highways and the news paths are mapped for me.
Other stuff:
1 GB internal memory
2 hours of operation unplugged

Advantages: gets you where you need to be. you will never be lost Disadvantages: pre-loaded data can be very out of date, uploading new data is expensive
...I was told that Garmin is the best GPS brand by the sales rep. I was deciding between models mostly based on their sleek design versus price. I went with the c330 because it was a lot cheaper and since it was only a toy for me, I decided I didn't need the extra functionality the more expensive models offered. Once I started using my GPS though, I really can't imagine how I ever lived without one. It has come in handy in countless ways that I never ... ...that everyone needs a GPS. This model is great if you just want the basics and an inexpensive GPS. My only complaint is that some of the pre-loaded maps/data are very out of date (for example, on a road trip we were trying to find a particular fast food restaurant so we selected the nearest one on the GPS and once we got to the location all we found was a bank). Therefore I really don't recommend relying on that particular feature of finding the ...

Advantages: Small, Easy to use Disadvantages: none
I have a friend that loves this GPS. He will not go anywhere without it. He continues to try to get me to buy one and even said he would buy another just so I could have his. He is impressed with its ability to get you anywhere and he says that he has not had one problem with it. If you take a wrong turn due to your mistake then it will get you right back on track. I have seen this product mounted in his car and it is not too big or too small. You ...
