The Garmin 60cx GPS Device – Discover Its Top 3 Features According to Real Users
According to its manufacturers, the garmin 60cx is intended for people who love adventures and spend a lot of time outdoors, either on land or in sea.
As you must be well aware, the best way to judge whether a particular gadget “walks the talk” of its manufacturer (in other words deliver on its promise), is to read reviews of people who have actually bought and used it in real life conditions.
After doing a thorough research myself, right below I give you a list with the top three features that people consider to offer the “best value for money”. In this way, I hope I will help you decide whether the garmin 60cx indeed suits your needs.
GPS receiver sensitivity
As on of the users says, “No GPS is worth its weight unless it can track enough satellites (at least 4) to give you a 3D position fix. A GPS device must calculate its elevation before it can reliably place you on a topo map, electronic or paper”.
According to the same user, the garmin 60cx has an extremely sensitive antenna that can lock up more than four satellites from within his home and under dense foliage while in a deep and narrow valley.
An extra tip worth considering is that you can increase the sensitivity of this unit even more with an optional car antenna — which could be used without the car, of course.
Long battery life
The garmin 60cx uses two AA batteries, which are far better than “triple A” batteries batteries or some costly, exotic battery pack that will degrade over time. Compared to other similar gps devices, the batteries have a long life in this unit and when they run out you can easily slap in replacements and continue on.
Rugged and waterproof
Another feature, which received enthusiastic comments from almost all of the reviewers, is the fact that the garmin 60cx is water-resistant and meets the IPX7 standard. What this means is that it will work after being submerged in 1 meter of water for 30 minutes. In other words, it’s rainproof.
