So far I have taken this thing skydiving, snowmobiling, snowboarding, backpacking, and navigating the city streets. I could not have asked for a better GPS. the altimeter, speed, compass works perfect.

Wow! I previously had a Garmin GPSMap 60c which I thought was great. This one is even better. I have not yet lost a signal. The batteries last longer. The accumulated altitude is a great feature. Just an over all improvement over the previous model. Not a single post purchase regret.I use this GPS about twice a week and have yet to discover anything I don't like about it.

Could not make contact with the USB connection with the computer. After a 30" wait on phone, tech support tried and was unable to connect with a Compaq, Windows XP, explaining that GPSMAP 60CSx was incompatible. Therefore, could not download maps.

I like a lot this GPS, I get a lot more satelites than with other receivers and up tp +/-3m/10ft accuracy, it is really fast to redraw heavy maps and quick for routing.
but I find very dissapointing:
- I can't pick to use the GPS altitude over the barometer and this makes no sense at all to me.
- I couldn't find a way to get the barometric sensor readings out to my computer to plot the pressure changes, aparently the nmea output only shows GPS altitude and not the altimeter information.
there are other functions missing from other GPS's like altitude trend, and tide predictions but not that important.
also something very weird is the barometer/altimeter difference, I get over 100mbar difference between both readings.
in other words I'd recomend this GPS to anyone, but one need to be very carefull picking, getting the 60 C"S"x serie (Sensors) might no be what you look for or what you expected.
