The Garmin GPSMAP60CX is a 12 parallel channel, WAAS-enabled GPS receiver that tracks up to 12 satellites at a time, gives you a position fix in as little as 15 seconds; and, thanks to the new SiRFstarIII architecture, stays locked onto the satellites in the toughest of conditions. This unit is very easy to use thanks to its rocker key and user friendly graphical interface. It supports multiple languages, has an integrated world map (overview) plus a base map of Europe, Africa and the near East. The GPSMAP60Cx has a slot for a standard micro SD memory card in the battery compartment and comes with a 64 MB memory card. The extremely sensitive antenna provides navigation information outdoors, in a car, in a train or even in an airplane. Because of the very low power consumption, the batteries of the GPSMAP60Cx last up to 30 hours. The built-in serial and USB interface supports data exchange with a PC. With Garmin GPS technology, you know you can rely on fast and accurate positioning when you need it.
