How to Use the Garmin 60CSX GPS

A Garmin 60CSx GPS is a map, compass, odometer, altimeter and trip planner all in one.

The Garmin 60CSx GPS is a hand-held unit that can be used during an outdoor adventure or driving. There are six main screen pages. The satellite page shows you information about the satellites being tracked. The trip-computer page gives you information such as your average and maximum speeds, and the distance you've traveled. The altimeter page keeps track of the elevation and pressure. There is also a main menu page used to find advanced features, and a compass page. You will need to put two "AA" batteries in the unit to use it. The battery cover on the back opens by turning the D-ring counter-clockwise.
