Highlight Stop Navigation and press ENTER to stop navigating. To select the Course Pointer or the Bearing Pointer: The Bearing Pointer is the factory set default option. When the Bearing Pointer option is displayed, the Course Pointer is active and vice versa. Highlight this option and press ENTER to activate. The Bearing Pointer and Course Pointer work independently of each other, one indicating the direction to your destination and the other, your relationship to a course line leading to the destination. For example: If the Bearing Pointer arrow is pointing straight up, you are going directly to your destination. If it points any direction other than up, turn towards that direction until the arrow is pointing up and then continue in that direction. The Bearing Pointer always points to the destination, no matter what direction you are moving. Most efficient if you must move around obstacles (lakes, private property, etc.) in your path. If you are using the Course Pointer option instead and you drift away from the line of travel from your original location to your destination, the Course Deviation Indicator (arrow with horizontal dotted line) provides graphic indication of drift (right or left) according to the scale displayed at the edge of the compass ring. Move to the right or left to get back on course. Most efficient if you are navigating on water or where there are no major obstacles in your path. It also helps you avoid hazards to either side of the course such as shoals or submerged rocks.
The Bearing Pointer always indicates the direction to your destination from your current location.

0.25 mi

The Course Pointer indicates your course of travel from your original location and the distance off course.

Project Waypoint Page

Projected Waypoint on the Map
Another method of creating and projecting a waypoint is to use the SightN Go feature as explained on page 17.
Using the Find Menu The Find Feature provides you with a method for searching for Cities and Exits, which are included in the GPSmap 60CS basemaps. If you have downloaded Garmin MapSource mapping data that contains additional map detail, you can search for Points of Interest, Addresses and Intersections. If you download BlueChart data,* you can nd detailed Marine items such as Wrecks and Obstructions, NAVAIDS, and Anchorages. If this additional data is not loaded, these options are not available. Waypoints and Geocache Points are items you can create and add to the Find Menu. Searching for a map item is simplied because the map database is separated into groups, which are shown as icons on the Find Menu Page. When you access a Find group list, by default it contains only those items near your current location or the Panning Arrow (if active). To save effort in searching again for an item already found, you can use the Recent Finds group, which contains a list of 50 last found items of all categories. The options menu for each map item group offers its own unique search options such as Find By Name, Find Nearest, Select Symbol (for Waypoints), Change Reference (by moving the map Panning Arrow to a new location), Nearest Containing (a key word you enter) and Select Category (for those groups such as Food and Drink, Lodging, etc.). Using these options can effectively shorten your search.

Garmin MapSource CD-ROMs offer a variety of detailed mapping data and navigation information. MapSource is also an excellent medium for storage and safety backup of Personal Waypoints, Routes and Saved Tracks.
Garmin MapSource U.S. Topo 24K Digital Elevation Models (DEM) Maps provide elevation data at any point identified by the Panning Arrow
See your Garmin Dealer or visit the Garmin web site at: www.garmin.com for information on which maps work with the GPSmap 60CS.
If you have purchased a Garmin MapSource CD-ROM mapping program you may want to transfer detailed map data before beginning use, to provide your unit with maximum Find features and mapping capability. The GPSmap 60CS accepts up to 56 MB of map data from most MapSource products. It is not possible to transfer 3rd party maps into Garmin products. You cannot view multiple types of MapSource data in the same location at the same time (one displays over the other). When you leave a City Select area for example and enter the area of a topographic map, the display will change to contour lines. The same is true when moving from a topo map to a City Select map. Maps that are at the top of the hierarchy display over any other map information. Because new maps are constantly being released, consult your Garmin Dealer or the Garmin website to determine the order of hierarchy. Map data transfer requires the use of a PC, a Garmin MapSource CDROM, and the Universal Service Bus (USB) cable supplied with this unit. When downloading new maps, those already downloaded are overwritten. Include maps you want to retain by adding them to your new map download. Follow instructions for map transfer in the MapSource Users Manual. It is also important to note, that certain features contained in the GPSmap 60CS will not be enabled unless you are using mapping data they are designed to support, such as many of the Find Features and DEM Elevation Proles. Visit the Garmin website for details on all of the maps for use with the GPSmap 60CS.

Main Pages > Map Page

The GPSMAP 60CSx comes with a built-in basemap that includes a database of cities, interstates, state and county highways, exit information, and lake and river outlines. The standard basemap can be enhanced using MapSource or BlueChart data. Two map operating modes, position mode and pan mode, determine what cartography is shown on the map display. Position mode pans the map to keep your present location in the display area. The position marker shows your travel on the Map Page. When you press the ROCKER, the GPSMAP 60CSx enters pan mode, which moves the map to keep the white arrow (map pointer) within the display area. When you are in panning mode, you can move the map pointer about the page to highlight and identify map items. If there is more than one map item under the pointer, a list appears with the item highlighted on the map.
You can add and configure up to four optional data fields to the top of the page to provide a variety of travel and navigational information.

Main Pages > Compass Page
When navigating, the Compass Page provides navigation data and directions. It uses a graphic compass ring, a bearing or course pointer and digital data fields to show information such as current speed, distance to the next point on the route, and estimated arrival time.
The rotating compass ring indicates the direction you are heading. The Bearing and Course Pointer indicate the direction (bearing) to your destination, relative to your current heading direction. The compass ring and bearing or course pointer work independently to show your direction of movement and the direction to your destination. You can choose the Bearing Pointer or Course Pointer for guidance.
Scale The course pointer indicates your course of travel and the distance you drift off course. Course Pointer The bearing pointer indicates the direction to your destination. Bearing Pointer
Bearing pointer The Compass ring moves to indicate North orientation. Compass Page
The compass ring is an electronic compass that functions like a magnetic compass when you are stationary. When you are moving and reach a pre-set speed, it uses data from the GPS receiver to maintain your heading. When you stop (after a pre-set time), it again operates like a magnetic compass. The compass ring is especially helpful when using a paper map or chart with your GPSMAP 60CSx for navigation. When the electronic compass is on, a compass icon appears in the status bar.

To stop navigation:

Using the Course Pointer or Bearing Pointer
The bearing pointer and course pointer work independently of each other. The bearing pointer indicates the direction to your destination, and the course pointer indicates your relationship to a course line leading to the destination. If the bearing pointer arrow is pointing straight up, for example, you are going directly to your destination. If it points any direction other than up, turn toward that direction until the arrow is pointing up and then continue in that direction. The bearing pointer always points to the destination, regardless of the direction you are moving. (Most efficient if you must move around obstacles in your path.) If you are using the course pointer option, and you drift away from the line of travel from your original location to your destination, the course deviation indicator (an arrow with horizontal dotted line) provides graphic indication of drift (right or left) according to the scale shown at the edge of the compass ring.
The bearing pointer always indicates the direction to your destination from your current location.
Move to the right or left to get back on course. This is most efficient if you are navigating on water or where there are no major obstacles in your path. It also helps you avoid hazards to either side of the course, such as shoals or submerged rocks.
