Garmin GPSMAP 60CSx: GPSMAP 60CS + microSD Slot (Link)

I've been always a big fan of Garmin GPS products and map softwares. One of the best GPS units I have ever owned is (Garmin GPSMAP 60CS). I loved that GPS unit. The only weakness of GPSMAP 60CS is the limited 56 MB of internal memory for storing map details.

The bad news is that GPSMAP 60CS is discontinued. The good news is its great replacement, Garmin GPSMAP 60CSx.

The GPSMAP 60CSx is a refreshing upgrade of the GPSMAP 60CS, one of our most popular models for outdoor and marine use. This 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. The GPSMAP 60CSx also incorporates a barometric altimeter for extremely accurate elevation data and an electronic compass that displays an accurate heading while standing still.

I totally recommend Garmin GPSMAP 60CSx for everybody. I can say this from my experience. I have been a long time user of GPSMAP 60CS and I have used it both in the US and in the UAE.

The package comes with 64MB microSD and the retail price is US $535.70

UPDATE (10/28/06): I just found out that you can find GPSMAP 60CSx in Sharaf DG L.L.C in Ibn Batuta Mall in Dubai. They sell it for AED 1,900 (US $517). Their phone number is 04-3685115. Thank you Noura Al Mazam.
