dirtdiva 0 Posted November 4, 2010 OK- forgive my GPS ignorance... Would I be able to take tracks from someone, load them into this device, and navigate my way on the trail - or does it just record where I have been??? Is there any additional software needed, like additional maps etc??? I know - duh, for an IT person, I'm GPS challenged.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Is there any additional software needed, like additional maps etc??? I know - duh, for an IT person, I'm GPS challenged.... Yes....buy one, learn how to use it. It does a heck of a lot. But never leave home without a good map. Never know when a solar flare will wipe out the satelites. It also helps to have a good overview of where you are.

Bagstr 287 Posted November 4, 2010 DD, The 60Csx - Makes Tracks, accepts Tracks. Obviously you can follow Tracks once they are in your machine. Additional Software is needed and a Major expense. City Navigator $100 - Produces turn by turn prompts directing you along the way. Topo Maps $100 - Provides elevation information as well as routes ( some not included in CN ) If I had to choose one or the other and did not use the unit on pavement, I would choose Topo. But.. you give up the ability to locate gas, stores, lodging which could be a big deal in some situations. City Nav is a big help travelling in the car to new states, etc. Topo and CN are avail at discount The 60Csx is considered a Hiking unit by Garmin. Many of there other units don't do Tracks and Back Track. People correct me if I am wrong. Bite the bullet, you will never go back to the Non-GPS world.

Jim 0 Posted November 5, 2010 For those a little more fiscally challenged, I find the Southwest USA or the California Topo maps located on gpsfiledepot.com for FREE to be great! Some extreme detail, and it has most of the roads and trails we normally ride. Can't compare them to the Garmin Topo products, as I have never bought any extra software from Garmin, only used what I could get for free. Additional Software is needed and a Major expense. City Navigator $100 - Produces turn by turn prompts directing you along the way. Topo Maps $100 - Provides elevation information as well as routes ( some not included in CN ) If I had to choose one or the other and did not use the unit on pavement, I would choose Topo.

rexr 0 Posted March 31, 2011 I already have a 60csx but ordered another one as a spare since they are so cheap. Garmin Topo isn't worth $30 in my opinion but maybe thats just me.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Covered in Dust 162 Posted March 31, 2011 The way I keep breaking antenna's I think I'll order a spare also. And after I take my ham test on Saturday I might even be able to legally use them. Covered in Dust Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wakemedic 0 Posted March 31, 2011 Rxr, Noob here..... been using my 60csx for a while hiking, snowshoeing.... never wanted to drop $100 on the topo, why do you think its not worth $30 ? Have you had a bad experience with yours ? Ive never loaded trax on it or used it riding before. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Have you had a bad experience with yours ? Ive never loaded trax on it or used it riding before. Sorry I should have put more detail on that statement. I keep an update copy of City Navigator and have found that there are more dirt roads on it than on the Topo maps (or at least the version I had at the time). If you are looking to use the Topo maps for other purposes then $30 is a steal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
