What's Hot

MapSource software, external antenna port, USB connection

What's Not

City-point mapping is no substitute for graphical base map, slow signal acquisition, cluttered with irrelevant software

The Final Word

Although the GPS 60 looks like it means business, it doesn’t live up to expectations. A USB connection and Garmin’s MapSource software are small consolation for the lack of mapping and slow signal acquisition. There are better — and cheaper — handheld GPS options.
