The new Garmin GPSMAP 60 has many of the same features as Garmin's newer color units, yet it's priced within the reach of a larger audience - for anyone needing an affordable, reliable, rugged, and easy-to-use handheld GPS receiver — for recreational or professional applications.

The Garmin GPSMAP 60 features an ample 160 x 240 4-level grayscale display and a bright LED backlight.  Battery life is among the best in the industry — offering 28 hours (typical use) on just two AA batteries.  For fast and versatile data transfer, the units offer both USB and serial connections.

The Garmin GPSMAP 60 has a routable North and South American basemap and 24 MB of internal memory for use with Garmin’s extensive line of MapSource cartography, including City Select, U.S. Topo 24K, U.S. Topo, Recreational Lakes with Fishing Hot Spots, and BlueChart.  Using MapSource City Select, the Garmin GPSMAP 60 offers automatic turn-by-turn route calculation with tone prompts to addresses or points of interest — a feature normally found in higher-priced GPS navigators.

Backwoods, boundary waters, blue highways — the Garmin GPSMAP 60 is your trusted guide to the great outdoors.

Special geocaching and geolocation gaming modes provide entertainment, as well as trailblazing navigation capability.
