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 corresponding Maps, the GPS-device supports lots of different application areas, e.g. autorouting. I use the current City-Navigator NT9 which is much more precise and coherent as most other autorouting navigations i had before. The maps are really up to date and the instructions are understandable though they are only given by beeps, short textmessages and autozooming e.g. to cross-ways.
With several additional accessories and maps, the CSx60 can be easily used in different fields. hiking, motocycling, on and offroad navigation, sailing ..... A clip is already included, I have a suction-clip for the car (which also works 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 device for lots of different fields. The only big drawback is the pricing of the device and maps and the activation of the mapsoftware which is a bit complicated. That's why i give only 4 stars. But actually, I couldn't find a competitive device being that matchable.
