Out performs expectations [Posted on 2008-08-09]
I have heard so much Hoop-La about this item that I just had to get myself one. WOW!! Now that I have had a chance to ust the CSx i was impressed with it's ability to keep tracking and hold on to satellites even in Alaska's deeply vegitated woodlands and mountain terrain. The CSx performs as good if not better than some higher priced GPS's. Well worth the investment.
Good but dont' try the online upgrade [Posted on 2008-08-15]
Purchased the unit for a vacation trip. It worked well and was fun to have along. Fortunately, I didn't try the suggested online software upgrade until after I returned. The unit died right after the upgrade completed. After a 45 minute phone wait, a Garmin service tech recommended I return the unit for replacement. The was two weeks ago and I still haven't received the replacement. Garmin is doing who knows what with it? If some one had told me this story prior to the purchase, I might have reconsidered. Maybe my star rating will change if I only had the unit to play with.
not as bad as the Colorado, but still terrible [Posted on 2008-08-21]
I got a Garmin Colorado, which was horrible, with buggy software, so I returned that and got this based on the quality of the reviews. I should have known better -- this unit is buggy as well. I loaded map data into it and off I went for a family trip to Vermont. Well, when the unit figured out I was in Vermont, it forgot all the map data! I had luckily brought the data with me, so I reloaded it. Then the same thing happened again when I returned home to Oregon -- no more map data.
The hardware seems sound, but Garmin needs to ship products with software that works. I tried calling customer support and was told to expect a 15-20 minute wait. Their phone support gets one star out of five from www.gethuman.com, and I understand why.
Great Product [Posted on 2008-08-28]
This handheld is a very good buy. It is quick to start up and quick to obtain satellites. It seems to operate in the +- 12ft range most of the time. It never drops signal and even works in the house, truck, or deep tree cover. Great product.
Garmin GPS Map 60CSx [Posted on 2008-08-30]
Very nice instrument! I used a Garmin E-trex first and liked it then, saw this one. I like the features it has, especially the electronic compass, find screens and geocaching features. I was a little disappointed in the accuracy (not up to date)of the built-in descriptions. The info about my local exit was out of date, many of the businesses are gone. The flexibility is great. I'd recommend it!
