Here's what other sites are saying:

From Backcountry.com:
"If you're a serious outdoor enthusiast or work in the outdoors, get your hands on the Garmin 60 Cx GPS Unit. This GPS lets you store 50 routes and 1,000 waypoints as well as load map data. The stored routes are reversible so you can trace your path in either direction. Install topo, marine, and street maps with pre-loaded microSD cards, or download maps from your computer onto the included 64MB card. The WAAS-enabled, high-sensitivity Garmin 60 Cx acquires a signal in a mere one second in fair weather, and finds your location even in heavy foliage or deep canyons. The color display is LED backlit for easy reading at night. Other features you'll appreciate are the built-in U.S. road maps for navigating highways, a trip computer that lets you determine your speed and distance, and built-in tables that let you know the best time to fish."

From Altrec Outdoors:
"Excellent for backcountry and adventure applications, the new Garmin GPSMAP 60Cx offers all of the bestselling features found in the successful GPSMAP 60c plus a removable and customizable microSD card and a new highly sensitive GPS receiver that finds satellites and your position faster than previous GPS designs. That means you spend less time waiting for signal searches and more time traveling--even if you're making your way through narrow canyons and heavy forests. The Garmin GPSMAP 60Cx comes with Garmin's Americas Recreational Basemap which includes highways, exits, and tide data for the United States. The Included 64MB microSD memory card allows you to download other Garmin basemaps (like Europe or Australia) through a PC with the included USB interface cable. This system also includes Garmin's MapSource Trip & Waypoint Manager software. You can track up to 10,000 waypoints (500 points in each of the 20 saved tracks) with your own customizable graphic symbols on the bright color display--so you're never lost, unless it's in the details."

"Nice step up from the eTrex models, although you have to pay for it. SiRF III chipset really does pick up the sats very quickly and accurately, even indoors. Color screen is clear and easy to read. Expandable memory is nice and that it runs on AA's a must."
