Comments about Garmin Garmin GPSMAP 60CX:
I have owned this GPS for 3 years and use it strictly on my boat. I have the boat cradle and 12V DC adapter. I have the Blue Chart on my computer and I can plot and map routes and then download to the unit. I also use it for speed control since my boat doesn't have a speedometer. I love everything about it, just wish the display was larger.

Comments about Garmin Garmin GPSMAP 60CX:
I have had this unit for about 2 years as a back up on my boat. I also use it some times to check my main GPS. It is very accurate and when you add the charts to it, it is very detailed!
