Spotlight customer reviews:
Customer Rating: Summary: it came before the expected arrival date Comment: I have been useing this item since 2004 with my company and i decided to bye one for my own. Customer Rating: Summary: GPSMAP60C Comment: i really like this unit but I have no idea on how to download maps to it or update it. I constantly am using it but like I said I have no main maps of any citys. I only have major high ways and well that is the problem. I would like to be able to see everything not just guess on streets when I am out and about geocaching. Customer Rating: Summary: The Best GPS I've owned Comment: This is probably my 4th handheld GPS. I also own a bluetooth GPS for the PC. I use the GARMIN in my car sometimes, but mainly on my kayak trips.
Before this I had a Magellan Sportrak color. It was stolen and replaced with this unit after I tried a friend's Garmin.
I use this GPS frequently and it is hands-down my favorite. It doesn't do the same job a GPS meant for a car does, but for the outdoors it is great.
I have downloaded maps onto it (it appears to only like Garmin maps) and everything was easy.
The display is bright and clear even in open sunlight on the water, something I could not say for the Magellan.
I highly recommend this model for hiking, biking, and kayaking. Customer Rating: Summary: Very Useful Comment: This Garmin hand-held gps unit has gotten me safely home countless times. I get lost a lot when I'm driving around and this GPS unit recalculates the directions for you if it senses that you have gone off course along the way. It remembers several "waypoints" for quick route calculations and it has tons of useful features like your mph or the amount of time left on your trip. You can also tag locations that you'd like to revisit. It's very easy to use and has a nice color display and offers several options for viewing your trip progress on a map or by road name, etc. The only reasons I gave it four out of five stars is that it has a small amount of memory so you can only load a few maps in at a time - not good for a road trip across country because you would have to keep changing the maps that are loaded into the unit. For example, I drove from PA to Boston and I could only get minimal detail between the two states because I could only load the map for the area in PA that I was leaving from and the area in Boston that I was arriving at. It also takes a while to get a reading from the satellites when you first start it up. It's even worse if the sky is blocked by many buildings-it could take upwards of 5 minutes. You can get the satellite reception from a clearing (like an intersection in a city) and once you've got it you won't lose it unless you go into a tunnel or something. It is great for short road trips and for taking on long walks and it's worth its price. Customer Rating: Summary: Excellent Unit Comment: Garmin has always been #1 in the GPS market. The other guys, have one or
two models and pack them with features like "picture viewing", that's
right now how is that needed in a GPS? Are you going to the photomat or something?
This unit is excellent. I've used it hiking and riding my ATV. This unit
just has everything an amature hiker/explorer could want. It's easy to
use, just take a few minutes and go through the menus. It's great easy
icons with text describing each one, and the screen is nice and easy to
see. And having the feautre of backtracking where you tell the unit to
take you back the way you came and you can see it clearly on the map
displayed on the screen is fantastic.
Overall excellent purchase, and I enjoy it everytime I use it.
