I have a gpsmap 64s and the 60csx. I understand why prople complain about the 64s. The 60csx is way easier to use. It has mostly the same features than newer versions. The battery life is very good. The precision is about the same than the newer models. With mapsource it is very easy to make a micro sd card for every application. I use 1 sd card for topo and another one for road maps. You can as well install every maps on one sd card but i find it easier to just switch the cards. Dont worry i would give my 64s a 5 star too. Garmin handheld gps are very good when you know how to use them.

This is the last GPS model Garmin made that was useful for me. The battery contacts don.t last vey long, the power button won't either, but they work great when they are in good shape. It has some useless frills (I know when to fish and hunt, but thanks anyway) but still fundamentally tells me where I am, interacts with mapping programs, and doesn't have all junk (really, I didn't buy this thing to plot a cross-country mountain bike trip) the added to subsequent models. Garmin missed the big boat by becoming, like Trimble, too specialized for their own good. They have been left behind by the BYOD (Bring your own device) GPS companies and in my opinion have only one way of staying relevant - become one of the few iOS compatible survey grade GPS companies. But they won't. Listen Garmin- we need an affordable, GNSS device with 1-2 m accuracy that simply collects points or paths, has a decent screen and takes topo chips. Bluetooth to IOS would be nice. That is all.Read full review

I had a 60CSx since when they came out. But lost it last year while on an Iowa deer hunt. Drove to a big retailer and bought a 64st to get through my hunt. I found myself cursing it daily. I kept picturing the engineering team at Garmin sitting at a big round table and some dope standing up stating "I have a great idea for the new model! Let's make the user push 5 buttons to do the same thing as the 60 CSx takes only 3 to do." It drove me crazy stumbling to my treestands in the dark while trying to navigate the ridiculous 64st screen. No thanks! I am a very patient person and write good reviews 90% of the time. But I have nothing good to say about the 64st other than it has more functions than the 60CSx. But that comes at a price, as I found it draining the batteries significantly faster. New st at $400 or a used 60CSx at $100. Easy choice for me!Read full review

The GPSMap60CSx is, in my opinion, the easiest and most practical GPS unit that Garmin has produced to date. All the features are logical. The screen is easy to read, and it is easy to configure for the type of GPS activity the user is doing. Unfortunately, it is no longer produced.

It works great. The only thing is if you plan on travelling with it, you have to get the City Maps DVD. If you register your GPS with Garmin, they'll give you 10% off your purchase of the DVD, making it $79 with shipping. They take forever to ship the DVD, but if you get the card, or download format of the City Maps, you can't get updates. You have to get the DVD. Then you will have the option of searching nearby services, food, etc. It will also give you the ability to search addresses, so it works much more like a car GPS. I use mine on my motorcycle, so I need to have the City Maps for nearby food, gas, services, and to search for addresses too. Great motorcycle GPS! Waterproof, tough, easy to use with gloves.
