Garmin's affordable GPS 60, a handheld, 12-parallel-channel GPS receiver, is perfect for land or marine navigation. The device is designed to provide precise GPS positioning using correction data obtained from the Wide Area Augmentation System (WAAS). Its 1 MB of internal user memory comes preloaded from the factory with worldwide cities. (You can also use this 1 MB for storing downloaded points of interest data from Garmin's MapSource Points of Interest CD-ROM.) With its separate serial and USB interfaces, the device is convenient to hook up and use right out of the box.
The device offers a high-contrast, 4-level grayscale LCD (160 x 240 pixels) with backlighting for the display and the keypad. A large-numbers option provides easy viewing. You get 1,000 user waypoints with name and graphic symbol and 20 reversible routes; position formats include Lat/Lon, UTM, Loran TDs, Maidenhead, MGRS and user grid. Memory is non-volatile for permanent user data storage, requiring no memory battery.
A handy trip computer provides an odometer, stopped time, moving average, overall average, total time, max speed, and more. The unit also comes with a 10,000 point automatic track log, and 20 saved tracks (500 points each) let you retrace your path in both directions.
Other features include course and speed filtering, built-in celestial tables for best times to fish and hunt (plus sun and moon calculations), an alarm clock wake-up and stop watch, audible alarms for anchor drag, arrival, off-course, proximity waypoint, and a geocaching navigation mode. Navigation instructions can be shared with repeaters, plotters, and autopilots using NMEA protocols through the serial port.
The GPS 60's rugged, fully gasketed case is waterproof to IEC 60529 IPX7 standards (meaning it's submersible in 1 meter of water for up to 30 minutes). The device derives up to 28 hours battery life using 2 AA batteries (not included).
