If you're looking to buy a new handheld GPS system, you're probably doing some comparison shopping online to make sure you get the best deal. That's what I do when I'm looking to make an Internet purchase and it can sure save you some money, especially on electronics like handheld GPS devices. On the other hand, it can also turn out to be a bum deal when the merchant you're dealing with charges hidden shipping fees or has a restrictive return policy. Over the years I've bought a few different handheld GPS receivers and I've had both good and bad shopping experiences.
The last GPS receiver I bought was such an outstanding experience that I know I'll never have to shop for handheld GPS devices anywhere else again. Why is that? Because the store I found
- Offers a Price Match Guarantee +5% of the price difference
- Offers Free Shipping for orders of $45 and over
- Offers a LIFETIME return policy!

The is considered by many enthusiasts to be one of the best all-around handheld GPS unit available on the consumer market today.
The GPSMAP 60CSx is an upgrade of the GPSMAP 60CS, one of the best selling handheld GPS units for outdoor and marine use. This unit features a removable microSD card so you can expand the mapping memory. This has been one of the most requested features by Garmin customers and is reason enough to upgrade from the GPSMAP 60CS. The microSD card slot is located inside the waterproof battery compartment and users can load map data and transfer routes and waypoints through the unit's fast USB connection.
Perhaps the most exciting feature of the GPSMAP 60CSx is the new, highly sensitive, third-generation GPS receiver chip by SiRF. This SiRFStar III chip locks on to satellite signals faster and lets users track their position in more challenging conditions like heavy tree cover or deep canyons. The GPSMAP 60CSx also features a barometric altimeter for accurate elevation data and an electronic compass that can be used while stationary.
