- Garmin GPSMap 60 is a great unit for the price.
Great unit. Does everything I need and more. I got a good start on using it with just the quickstart guide. It connects to a PC using the Waypoint software that comes with it and with Googleearth Plus. It takes about 5 seconds to acquire satellites and only lost reception for a second in heavy cover with overcast skies.Garmin GPSMap 60 Handheld GPS

- All I Expected
Still learning all there is to do. What I have seen of this product is fantastic for the price range.

- Unclear instructions & unavailable service
I returned this product for a full refund due to unclear instructions and no repsonse from customer service. The instructions provided in the owner's manual on entering bearing and distance to find a new waypoint were unclear. I was unable to reach the Garmin customer service via email (maybe their server was down) or by phone. I tried to phone them 2 or 3 times during business hours and was unsuccessful in reaching a person. I wanted to enter coordinates, latitude and longitude, to find a new location and was disappointed that I never found out if this product could do this or not. Also, I was unable to enter a bearing and a distance to find a new location.

- Piece of JUNK!
The maps that come with this unit are wortless. If you want good maps, be prepared to shell out $100. My biggest gripe is that my GPS WILL NOT talk to my computer! That makes it IMPOSSIBLE to load my $100 maps. I tried to connect to both of my PCs at home AND my PC at work. All came up with the same message - USB Device Not Recognized. My friend in Utah has the same problem - and a bad temper. He threw his Garmin against the wall and killed it. He bought a Magellan and is very happy with it.

I would have rated it ZERO stars if the option had been available. I will NEVER buy anything from Garmin again!

I've contacted Garmin NUMEROUS times and they are no help at all - and have completely ignored me for the past month or so.

- Garmin GPSmap 60...better than I'd hoped
Last year I did a motorcycle trip from Kennedy Space Center in Florida to Edwards Air Force Base in California. Along the way I planned stops at every NASA related site I could think of and in preparation for that trip I purchased a Garmin eTrex Legend. After a few days of playing around with it, it quickly became apparent that while the Legend is a nice little unit, it was woefully inadequate for my needs.

So I picked up a GPSmap 60 and never looked back. The ability to load custom maps of certain area's was a very nice perk, but even the base map was very good for what I was doing.

As other reviewers have noted, it gets a good solid lock in the worst conditions (heavy tree cover, clouds, rain, and indoors) though sometimes the accuracy does degrade beyond what it would lead you to believe. As an example, with this unit I can get a four or five satellite lock, with an listed accuracy of under twenty feet, the reality is that the accuracy is closer to fifty or sixty feet...but at least I have a lock when most others don't.

This is a very solid unit, it feels like it was made for use and abuse. And this is one area where I was slightly disappointed in the unit. It feels rugged, but it only handled about 2000 miles of vibration from being attached to the motorcycle handlebars before the contacts in the batter compartment had to be "adjusted" to remain in contact with the batteries.

Which brings up another point. I don't even bother with rechargeable batteries in this beast anymore. It drains them quickly when compared with non-rechargeable batteries.

Over all I highly recommend this system, even over the color versions that are out. At this price its hard to beat in terms of quality and features.
