The GPSMAP 60Cx is an upgrade to GPSMAP 60C, ideal for outdoor and marine use. The unit features a removable microSD card for detailed mapping memory and a waterproof, rugged housing. The microSD card slot is located inside the waterproof battery compartment. Users can load map data and transfer routes and waypoints through the unit’s fast USB connection. In addition, this unit features a new, highly sensitive GPS receiver that acquires satellites faster and lets users track their location in challenging conditions, such as heavy foliage or deep canyons. It has a 256-color transflective TFT screen capable of 160x240 pixel resolution. The Garmin GPSMAP 60Cx will be available later this month for $ 482.
