Garmin 60 Handheld GPS Review
Night lighting on this Garmin handheld GPS is fairly sophisticated. It features five levels of brightness for both the screen and pushbutton. Daylight viewability was good too. Including the pair of AA batteries used to power this unit it weighs in at seven ounces. The Garmin 60 is WAAS capable and can store up to 1000 waypoints and 50 routes. It carries a 1-year warranty.
Garmin GPS 60 Non-Mapping Personal Navigation Unit The display screen occupies the upper two-thirds of the case front. All the pushbuttons are clearly marked for function. The off/on button resides on the top of the unit adjacent to the antenna. We found it a bit difficult to hold and operate the this Garmin handheld GPS with one hand. Mainly because of the small pushbuttons located near the bottom of the case. This Garmin handheld GPS interfaces with the user through five main pages. The Satellite page displays tracked satellite location and signal strength, battery status, and present position. Three navigational pages follow with each press of the Page button. First, you’ll find the Trip Computer page displaying either three or eight user changeable data boxes. Next in order is the Map page, here you can display a full page map or add up to four data boxes, again all are user selectable. The last of the navigational pages is the Compass page where half the screen is used by a large compass rose and the other half by either three or four data boxes. Again, the user can select the data to be displayed in the boxes and either degrees or cardinal headings for the compass. The final page in the list is the Menu page. It leads you to one of 16 other lists or submenus including Tracks, Routes, Setup, Calendar, Calculator, and others. Access to the battery compartment, data port, external antenna jack, and USB port are all located on the rear of the case. The Garmin 60 GPS Smart GPS Reviews HOME
