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.

Advantages: Small and worth the price
Disadvantages: Routes chosen

A friend of mine has this GPS system. He does like it and I find that it is actually pretty useful. The only thing that I do not like about it is that it does not take you on the same route back that you went in on. This confuses me and worries me that I am being taken in the wrong direction. It does try to take you on the shortest path but sometimes this is not the fastest path. It may take you through the center of town rather than down an interstate ... Read review

Advantages: Big Widescreen, Easy to use Controls, Stylish
Disadvantages: Price

...had been looking at the TomTom One, but his unit has much more to offer. It has a bigger widescreen for easy viewing. This really helps when you are trying to look at maps while driving. I have been to some very far out "off the map" places, and this thing has always updated correctly to show exactly where you are and the best route to reach your destination. This unit is a little higher than the TonTom One, but it is well worth it due to the extra ... Read review

Advantages: to many to list
Disadvantages: doesnt say street names - but other versions do.

absolutely love it!!! It is so quick. We bought it to go to florida with and we NEVER got lost. It was quick with the recalculation when i missed my turn (my error). The size is perfect. The features are perfect. It will even find points of inteterest really fast. One of the best features is how it keeps track of your mileage for the trip. Plus you can see each turn by turn as you approach your next turn. You can use a 3d view and it helps you with ... Read review
