twgreen Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 I went to Amazon today to look at purchasing a Garmin 60CSx and it said it would be released on August 6. I know it has been out for about a year now but was wondering if maybe they had come out with a new or updated version. I did notice that the screen size listed on Amazon was 2.6 which is bigger than listed on Garmin's website for that model. I checked on Garmin's website and it didn't say anything about a new model or anything like that so I was just wondering if it was just a mistake on Amazon's website or if anyone knows what the deal with that is?

+allory Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 A 1.5x2.2 screen is pretty close to 2.6 diagonal, but other than that I have no idea what they're talking about. Quote Link to comment

Maybe they meant that's when they'd get a new shipment in. Quote Link to comment
ben_r_ Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 I doubt theres a new model, Amazon just made a mistake. I just bought the 60CSx through them and it was the same old one everyone else sells. Quote Link to comment
gallet Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 There is a new 60CSx, it's called the Colorado 300 Quote Link to comment
+BetaMan Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 Actually, the Colorado series isn't a natural progression to the 60CSx (according to Garmin). It's a totally different GPS altogether. It has more functions and a different GPS chipset in it (the 60CSx uses the SanSirf III receiver and the Colorado uses the MediaTek receiver) Truely doubt that there is a new 60CSx. It is a tried and true unit. Quote Link to comment
gallet Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 Of course it's a natural progression. It is distinguished by the Quad Helix antenna and external aerial. Having a different chipset doesn't mean it isn't a natural progression. Take the Vista Cx and the Vista HCx, different chip, natural progression. You can be 100% certain that the low res screens on the 60CSx will never be seen again on any new model Garmin, they are old technology. If the Colorado isn't a natural progression then you may as well say the 60CSx is the end of the line, there will be no natural progression. Quote Link to comment
+BetaMan Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 I asked Garmin if it was the upgrade to the 60CSx and they said "No", it's a new line altogether. I asked them that because I am coming from a 60CSx and the Colorado was no where NEAR as accurate as the 60CSx (when I first got it, that is) Now I have an Oregon 400t as well. It appears to be more accurate than the Colorado is. I have a Colorado 300 as well... Quote Link to comment
