Integrated base map of Europe, Africa and the near East with countries, waters, towns, highways, major roads and city maps. Navigational information are available for the following countries: country list
Memory to store additional, even more detailed maps with roads, crossings and addresses of restaurants, public buildings, points of interest etc. from a PC:
- GPSMAP60CS: Integrated 56 MB memory.
- GPSMAP60CSx: Slot for standard micro SD memory card ("TransFlash"). A 64 MB memory card is included. Larger memory cards are available as an option. See also our attractive bundels with larger memory cards.
Electronic compass to check heading while not moving¹ (can be turned off so safe power, accuracy ±5°, resolution ±1°)
Barometrical altimeter for precise elevation recording², range -610..9144 m (-2000..+30000 feet); accuracy ±3 m (10 feet), resolution ±30 cm (1 foot)
Powered by batteries (2x AA, last about 20 h) or by an external 12 V power source, e.g. from a car's lighter (power cord available as an option)
Short time to first fix (TTFF³: approx. 15 seconds after a warm start, meaning there are valid coordinates of the satellites available, or approx. 45 seconds after a cold start, meaning there are no valid coordinates of the satellites available)
Supports the following protocols for data exchange with PC: NMEA 0183 with 4800 Baud, GARMIN, GARMIN DGPS, Text, RTCM IN, RTCM/NMEA and RTCM/TEXT
Supports WAAS (improves accuracy of position indication from typical better than 15 m (49 feet) to typical better than 3 m (10 feet))
DGPS (Differential GPS) ready (GARMIN differential receiver available as an option)
Supports more than 100 different datum (coordinate systems)
Supports various display formats include the Swiss Grid
Firmware stored in Flash-Memory, can be updated by the user

Weight: 150 g (5.3 ounces, without batteries)

¹) In order to check the heading with a GPS, a minimal movement with a speed of at least 5..8 km/h (3..5 mi/h) is required. Where no movement is not possible, a compass is needed.
²) Even though a GPS provides accurate elevation information, the value slightly varies continuously. A barometrical altimeter is therefore more accurate, especially when summarizing elevation changes.
³) TTFF: Time To First Fix, time until the first information about the current position is acquired.
