+Atlas Cached Posted January 20, 2019 Posted January 20, 2019 Just acquired an old school GPSMAP 60CSx, and am wondering if anyone knows how to determine which GPS chip is used, SiRF or MediaTek? Also, my units diagnostic screen shows current firmware version as 4.10, although I only find 4.00 as final version from Garmin (unless there were different versions for different chips). Any GPSMAP 60 experts that can chime in? Thank You! Quote
_Art_ Posted January 20, 2019 Posted January 20, 2019 From memory, the way to tell was the GPS module software version was prefixed with an “m”, and just reading a bit more now, it looks like device firmware 4.10 was shipped with these. http://forums.gpsreview.net/discussion/14007/60csx-no-longer-uses-sirf-chips Quote

+Viajero Perdido Posted January 20, 2019 Posted January 20, 2019 I remember being worried there was a quality difference between the two, but in the end, it didn't seem like it mattered. Both were pretty darn excellent. Anecdotal, but that's my recollection. Quote
_Art_ Posted January 20, 2019 Posted January 20, 2019 (edited) It’s still my favourite handheld of all time, taking into consideration the time it came out. I never recall it turning off any other way than flat batteries, or pressing the off button Edited January 20, 2019 by _Art_ Quote
