New GPS Units from Garmin

December 21st, 2003 | Jeff Boulter | General

Garmin recently announced two new GPS receivers, the GPSMap 60C and 60CS.

Improvements over previous units include color, a USB interface (instead of serial), a special “Geocaching mode” and 56MB of memory. They’ll be about $400+ though.

I’m skeptical that the Geocaching mode would be able to match a my eTrex Vista + CacheMate, but it looks interesting. Color is nice though and USB sure would help make downloads of maps faster. I would rather have bluetooth instead so I don’t have to bother with all these cables and a media card slot would also be handy for keeping lots of data on there.

Damn, my 2004 Christmas list is quickly taking shape!
