Covered in Dust 163 Posted June 17, 2010 Any idea if garmin will fix my 60 csx, one of my cables ripped the antenna off. I've emailed them with no responce yet. 1st time I used it, 2nd day of the Mexico ride. I think if I get it fixed I should maybe move it a little. cn Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Covered in Dust 163 Posted June 18, 2010 Thanks, I'm going to give them grief as this seems to be a recurring problem. But I will just buy another if they won't deal much.

Crawdaddy 96 Posted June 19, 2010 Thanks, I'm going to give them grief as this seems to be a recurring problem. You're going to give them grief because YOU mounted it in the wrong spot?!?! .........Call'em up and they'll give you an RMA number to send it back......ask me how I know Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Covered in Dust 163 Posted June 19, 2010 Mine looks just like that. I'm going to give them grief because it probably should be a little more durable if this happens often. I've read about just droping them and breaking the antenna. Did they fix yours or send a replacement unit and what did it cost? cn Thanks, I'm going to give them grief as this seems to be a recurring problem.

TrophyHunter 15 Posted June 19, 2010 Chris, Mine met with a rock while mounted on my bike during the DD. It was technically out of warranty but they asked for my EIN off of the unit, ran it up and told me when I first acquired satellites. The rep was very helpful, gave me an RMA # and covered under warranty. Cost me my shipping to them. Replacement unit came back quickly....remember to take your card out before shipping.

Beta450 0 Posted August 26, 2010 Does anyone know who has them on sale right now? Costco had the lowest price at $219. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zee 0 Posted August 26, 2010 The one on Costco is 60Cx, without the compass and altimeter. If you wait around you should be able to find a good deal. I think this series is now superseded by 62 series. Does anyone know who has them on sale right now? Costco had the lowest price at $219. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

slagnado 0 Posted October 25, 2010 Looking at getting a GPS and actually trying to figure it out this time around. Question: Which model should I get 60csx or 60cs? Amazon has the first for $ 229 and the second for & 217.00? Thanks in advance, Sondra Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
paulmbowers 236 Posted October 25, 2010 the 60csx is the better unit. Be aware neither comes with anything more than the basemaps, which are sometimes helpful. But don't take my word for it- I have two gps and I just follow Strega. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But don't take my word for it- I have two gps and I just follow Strega. What is the difference between the 60 and 76 CSX ? (besides waterproof on the 76 and no ant ext) 76 csx $230 76CSX $230 Ram Mounts ~$35 1GB Card $10 Ship $7 Power cord $20 ______________ ~~~~~~~~<$300 Reasonable?

Joliet 0 Posted October 25, 2010 Same internals, and both are waterproof. The mount for the 76 is more secure and as you pointed out no protruding antennae to break. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

S I have both the 76 marine version and the 60 which I use in conjunction with good Topo maps. I like the 76 on my boat, bikes and Jeep (in Page). I like the button placements but I am not usually pushing them with gloves on. I use the 60 here in San Diego. It is more pocket friendly for hiking than the 76. They are both great units but neither will give you the perspective of a good map. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DigDug 0 Posted December 12, 2010 What is the difference between the 60 and 76 CSX ? (besides waterproof on the 76 and no ant ext) The 76 has buttons above the map screen, which is a PITA when you can't see the screen as you push buttons. ... and the built-in antenna is nice, but doesn't make up for button placement (IMO). It's not that big a deal. You put your hand on the side and hit the buttons with your thumb anyways. The real beauty on the 76 series is that the mount is BULLET PROOF! Every person I have seen with the 60 series Ram mount has a zip tie holding it on. I know people who have lost their 60s when they fell out. Now, don't get me wrong, I leash mine to the handlebars just in case, but I have never heard of a 76 coming out of the Ram mount. Heck, I have seen bikes flipped over, land on the handlebars and snapped the ball of the Ram mount, but the holder didn't release the 76. Ask some people here if their brake cables have ever snapped the antenna off their 60 series. I know of a few who will say yes. The software, screen, memory, etc are identical! Just a different case is all. Price wise, if you can get a great deal, go for the 60. But if the price is close, I would go for the 76. Just my opinion. Oh, and the s models (sensors, compass and altimeter) are not necessary for the casual dualsporter. If you get a great deal on the Cx models, gram them. You wont miss the sensors. And I'm a navigator by trade! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
