Chapter 6 - How Much Is That GPS In The Window?
There are so many companies that have gotten onto the “GPS Train” that it might be overwhelming to try and figure out which one you want to buy for yourself. Of course, one of the biggest considerations you will want to think about is what you plan to use your GPS system for.
We’ll attempt to go over a few of the most popular products from some of the most popular manufacturers. Please keep in mind that we don’t condone one particular product over the other and we will attempt to remain un-biased in our descriptions taking them from some of the places that have done reviews of these products.
One of the most well-known names in the GPS business is Garmin. Garmin has been producing GPS systems for years, and they are staying on top of technology to continually turn out new systems that remain the top choices of reviewers everywhere.
Reviewers say that the Garmin GPS 60CSx handheld device is the best all-around handheld GPS and it gets great scores in reviews for fast map rendering and speedy satellite lock even from a cold start. This is due to its SiRF Star III chipset which is one of the most advanced technologies around today.
This handheld GPS is rubberized and water-resistant and comes with a 64MB memory card so you can add additional maps. It comes pre-loaded with North American base maps but reviewers say this unit really shines when used with the optional Garmin MapSource software.
The Garmin GPS 60CSx has a 2.6 inch color screen, an electronic compass, a barometric altimeter, along with a special geocaching menu (which we have already talked about before!) It weighs a light 7 ½ ounces and runs for about 18 hours on two AA batteries.
