My Christmas Present WishList:

Garmin GPSMAP 60CS

With a new rugged case design, the GPSMAP 60C includes many exciting features such as a TFT, 256 colour display, producing one of the brightest, sunlight-readable displays available.

Separate serial and USB interfaces are included. Detailed maps may be transferred to the unit using the USB interface. Navigation instructions can be communicated to repeaters, plotters and autopilots using NMEA protocols through the dedicated serial port.

The unit includes a built-in International basemap with auto-routing capabilities. Completely waterproof with battery life exceeding 25 hours, the GPSMAP 60C is ideal for both marine and recreational users.

The receiver is fully compatible with MapSource products like BlueChart and City Select, providing streets for turn-by-turn guidance (there is no voice output) on 56MB built-in memory.

A special Geocaching Navigation Mode is included to help you get the most out of the sport. The compass page becomes tailored to geocaching, while notes and hints can be displayed on screen if the cache waypoint includes such comments. When a cache is found, the unit will log an entry into the outdoor calendar and can be used to show the next-closest cache.

The 60CS adds a built-in electronic compass and barometric sensor to the features found on the GPSMAP 60C model. The compass provides an accurate heading, even when standing still, while the barometer gives automatic pressure trend recording. The data is used by the built-in elevation computer to provide current elevation, ascent/descent rate, minimum and maximum elevation, total ascent and descent, average and maximum ascent and descent rate for your journey.

To round-off the feature list, the unit also boasts four geolocation games - Virtual Maze, Nibbons, Geko Smak and Memory Race.
