Don't know if it is being discontinued, but if I didn't have a 60CS and I were in the market right now, I would probably get a 60CSx.Motabobo said:I have only one word...Bought my 60CSx yesterday... I know, I know it may be too sensitive but they told me the 60CS was beeing discontinued...Is this true ? I wasn't to argue because I wanted one NOW, so I ended up buying the damn thing. I'm sleeping with it under my pillow (joke)...
Try leaving the GPS on and stationary for several hours or more. Then look at the track to see how much the position wanders. Try it both indoors and in an outdoors spot with a good clear skyview. It would be interesting to see how much bigger the zone is for the indoors location. (As I think I explained earlier, that accuracy number is a lower bound on the accuracy--it can actually be much worse, particularly in a poor location such as indoors.)In my appartment I get 6 satellites out of 14, as far as I can from the windows, with an accuracy of 14 feet....well at least that's what it told me
Enjoy your new toy. After a few months, you may find that you can sleep comfortably with it on the nightstand...
BTW, there was a new firmware release for the 60CSx yesterday. It might fix some of the current problems. Available free from the Garmin website.
I hope that I can find the bathroom with better than an accuracy of 14 feet next time I need to get up in the middle of the night...KevinRooney said:Then finding the bathroom shouldn't present much of problem ...
I read of someone using a GPS to find the outhouse at night way out in wilds of Mongolia. He used the backlight to see where he was going...
