- GPSMAP 60C/60CS/76C/76CS (for WebUpdater) software version as of May 3, - GPSMAP 96 (region file only) software version as of February 16, - GPS 72 Rev A (region file only) software version as of May 9, - GPS 72 Rev B (region file only) software version as of May 9, This could explain why the Software version is not available for the GPSmap 60CSX on the Garmin website. Version is a software patch to get the units with the MediaTek chip out the door but one could easily conclude that the software/chipset upgrade broke the USB output if . The firmware version is the "Software Version" at the top. 60CSX Firmware Version In October , someone contacted me with a question about firmware version Apparently, his unit had shipped with that version installed. It was mysterious, because the latest firmware on the Garmin website was still version ! Some GPSMap 60CSx.

Anyone else hear about this? Tim Points. June I saw that a few weeks back, but gpsmap 60csx software version 4.20 download about it. It is certainly a good possibility and as you know Garmin has done that before.
Will be interesting to see if users notice any difference. In the past the SiRF chipset has been cited as a reason to choose the 60csx over other models. July The switch to the MTK chipset has been confirmed by users on another site. Evidently the only way to tell if your new 60csx has the MTK chipset is by checking the software version in the menus.
There is nothing on the unit itself or the packaging to indicate the MTK chipset. MTK were better, right? A small piece of wire sitting on a table is said to emit dBm of RF energy just from the movement of electrons. The Oregon series uses the STM Cartesio chipset, or at least it has so far according to multiple articles.
Scott Dresser just posted a "first impressions" article on the Oregon at gpsfix. GoHack 0 Points. September It nows shows the Software Ver. This is a relatively new GPS purchased around April of this year. No idea when it was actually made, though. Sure am glad I snatched one of the SiRF units before they're all gone! Everything but the last two 2 digits would be fine. Mine is xx Thx. Sure, gpsmap 60csx software version 4.20 download, no problemo It's XX It would be interesting if we could gpsmap 60csx software version 4.20 download out the dates of manufacture from the serial numbers.
How do you guys know that Garmin would not just leave that little "s" on the firmware to throw you saps off the track? I also recall reading that it appeared on Nuvi splash screens of models with other chipsets.
My box has the SiRF legalese on the bottom. My GPS performs wonderfully in the accuracy and sensitivity department. I'll believe it has the SiRF chipset. October My 60 CSX has the gps software version 2. I contacted a Garmin product support specialist and he claimed that my 60 has the Sirfstar chipset, gpsmap 60csx software version 4.20 download. Overhead canopy knocks me down to about 20 feet. I thought the vista hcx which has the mtk chip was always considered pretty much on par with the 60csx I asked about the chip set when I was talking to the Garmin support person about the Garmin Astro.
I wanted to make sure the Astro was as accurate as the 60, he told me that they use their own chip set in the Astro, but accuracy was the same. The Astros are expensive so was just trying to do a little homework. Stovebolt 0 Points. December Unit ID xx Thanks for any assistance, Stovebolt.
There are four of us that geocaches on a regular basis. Three of us gpsmap 60csx software version 4.20 download older 60csx's wit the sirf star chips. The fourth is a newer unit with the MTK chipset. I was unaware of the change until I read the forums a while back, gpsmap 60csx software version 4.20 download.
I checked her unit and it did indeed have the MTK chipset. The only conclusion I can make is that it seems just as accurate for geocaching as the other 60csx. She's always right there when the find is made.
I have had only one issue with it, on a dual-sport ride in Nevada in October. But I still don't quite buy into this. I did change the batts later - approx 3 more running hours on the unit, and didn't experience the problem since. So I wrote it off to low batts. I do not run lithiums as per owner's manual suggestion concerning startup voltage spikes, just running duracell alkaline. February Hi, Is there any review of the two versions? They are really close in performance and any variation is more likely caused by other external factors.
I believe that, on paper, gpsmap 60csx software version 4.20 download, the MTK chip is a higher performing product in that it is more sensitive, faster to acquire first lock, and uses less power. I got a 60Cx about six weeks ago, version 4.
Not as flighty or bouncy as the SiRF is. Slightly more accurate, perhaps. I'll give a slight edge to the SiRF on the tracking, but not much. I set the units to yards, then the track setup to distance, and the Interval to 0. I slipped off of the icy winding pathway back to the front door, and it noted it. Usually I set the tracks to timing, with 1 second for more detailed tracks.
When connected to the external antennas on the roof, and the units set up in the User Grid mode, to measure the grid distance from the SW corner of this 10 acres, in feet, they show no change in feet when in the WAAS or no WAAS mode. Same as my GPS 60, the most accurate of my 60's. Gotta love that "ole yallar". Sure has been a doozy of a winter! After fiddling around with my 60CSX, it appears that my trouble must have been with low-powered batteries - I haven't had any trouble since the time I reported in my post above.
I've been working on producing aftermarket cradles for the series to use in conjunction with RAM mounts over this winter, after having made a run of one-offs and sending 4 down to Baja on dirt bikes last year. My new cradles are improved by a good margin, and will sell well enough for my "kitchen table" efforts, I think hope.
Anyway, I'll post up when I have a few more made, and can supply pics to anybody interested in an alternative to the RAM cradles, which leave something to be desired. The RAM mounts, on the other hand, gpsmap 60csx software version 4.20 download, is a wheel that does not need to be reinvented.
They are great just the way they are. Anyway, gpsmap 60csx software version 4.20 download, I appreciate all the information on this forum, so thank you.
I'm trying to find one 60csx with the new chipset to buy, but all sellers I contacted say the chipset is sirf3. From the user reports I read here and elsewhere, most of the 60csx's in the pipeline now have the new MTK chips. I gather that the boxes they come gpsmap 60csx software version 4.20 download may still say SiRF however.
I see posts from others who are actually looking for the SiRF based units, so you could probably sell if you end up getting one. The only way to know for sure is to start it up and see what firmware you're running. But honestly, it probably doesn't make much difference one way or the other. The MediaTek is more sensitive, but because of that, has some multipath problems. A review of the two versions would be great.
How does the difference between the chips translate to the end user in a real world environment? Most users will never know the difference. When set up to measure in feet, in the User Grid, it dosn't change as much, or as far, when it does change the position location. When in the Batter Saver Mode, it is a little jumpy at first, then settles dodw. Like tonight, after 22 hours of being on, and connected to the external antenna on the roof, it didn't want to reconnect to WAAS gpsmap 60csx software version 4.20 download, afterI put in fresh batteries.
It wants to start looking for 33 again, like when I first took it out of the box. After about 2. Sometimes the grid feet don't change at all, like on all of my other Garmin 60 s, but a couple of times ther will be a couple of feet change when the WAAS is activated.
Most of my testing is from the antennas on the roof, due to this years heavy snowfall, gpsmap 60csx software version 4.20 download. Most of the snow blows off of the roof, but as of tonight ther is about 8 in of new snow on the roof, and snowing. All of my measured points are covered up. As Tim said, most people wouldn't notice much.
