Description: (

Backwoods, boundary waters, blue highways — the GPSMAP® 60 is your trusted guide to the great outdoors. The GPSMAP 60 along with the GPS 60 are packed with several of the features found in the 60 series color units, but sport an affordable, high-resolution, monochrome display for outdoor enthusiasts on a budget.
The rugged, waterproof GPSMAP 60 is the
perfect, low-cost, navigator for wherever your spirit of adventure takes you:
* Large, sunlight-readable, four-level grayscale display with bright LED backlight makes it easy to find your way — day or night
* 28 hours of battery life for more hours of outdoor enjoyment
* Both serial and USB connections for fast and versatile download transfer
* Built-in basemap with automatic routing capabilities to guide you, turn-by-turn, with tone prompts to your destination
* 24 MB of internal memory for lots of storage of optional MapSource marine, topo and city street mapping downloads
Like the other products in the 60 series, this trusty handheld is compact and lightweight, with a user-friendly interface. It's reliable, and extra-precise as WAAS can make it. Special geocaching and geolocation gaming modes provide entertainment, as well as trailblazing navigation capability. The unit also includes an alarm clock, sunrise/sunset and moon phase tables, optimal hunting and fishing times — plus much more.
Fully compatible with the entire line of MapSource products (see product compatibility table), the GPSMAP 60 makes it easy to navigate the great outdoors.

| Pros | My first GPS and its jam packed with features including easy to mark waypoints, routing, track back, huge map display, highway routing. Easy to use. | | Cons | No rechargeable battery, slow acquisition of satellites, looses track in heavy cover. Memory is not expandable. Mapsource Topo Software doesn't have enough detail, 1:100,000 scale. | | Verdict | This is a great GPS if you are first starting out. Easy to use and alot of capability. It's a bit pricey since it now has cousins that are even better. |
