Garmin GPSMAP 60CSx Quick Manual

1. Turn on using the power button on the top of the unit (see picture). Hold if for a few
seconds.
2. Find satellites by placing the unit outside and waiting until it gets a fix. Can take a few
minutes at first. Note the accuracy distance drop. Let it go til it gets to about 3 to 5
metres.
3. Check co-ordinate system. Should say NZTM in the top window (left of the co-
ordinates). If it doesn't, see set co-ordinates below.
4. Page options. Use the Page button to toggle around the various page options (satellites
with coordinates, compass, map, etc), and just take a good look and get used to the info
on them. Walk around and see how their info changes. The little in/out buttons and the
up-down-left-right buttons let you zoom to desired location on the map (your location is
the black triangular arrow).
5. Mark 'Home'. For safety, always mark where your car is parked/ the trail head so you can
find your way back if you get lost. Press Mark (bottom left key), and if you press the
down arrow once it will jump you to the top of the page where you can re-name the
waypoint by pressing Enter and using up-down arrows to type in HOME (Enter after each
letter selected), followed by OK and Enter again. Page again to whatever screen you want
to look at.
6. Set up track log (make a cookie crumb trail of where you walk). Wait until you are at the
start of where you want to record your route. Use the Page button until you get to the
page with the little square icons and press Enter to select Tracks. Make sure the Track
Log is turned on – use the left-right button to select the On option. If it is already on, use
