MAP DATA INFORMATION: One of the goals of Garmin is to

provide customers with the most complete and accurate cartography that

is available to us at a reasonable cost. We use a combination of govern-

mental and private data sources, which we identify as required in product

literature and copyright messages displayed to the consumer. Virtually

all data sources contain inaccurate or incomplete data to some degree.

This is particularly true outside the United States, where complete and

accurate digital data is either not available or prohibitively expensive.

WARNING: The Global Positioning System (GPS) is operated by the

United States government, which is solely responsible for its accuracy and

maintenance. The system is subject to changes which could affect the

accuracy and performance of all GPS equipment. Although the Garmin

GPSmap 60C is a precision electronic NAVigation AID (NAVAID), any

NAVAID can be misused or misinterpreted and, therefore, become unsafe.

WARNING: This product, its packaging, and its components contain

chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects,

or reproductive harm. This Notice is being provided in accordance with

California’s Proposition 65. If you have any questions or would like addi-

tional information, please refer to our web site at http://www.garmin.com/

prop65.

Warnings and Precautions

Introduction

GPSmap 60C Owner's Guide copy.indd v 12/19/2003, 2:02:38 PM

GPSmap 60C

Safety Warnings and Cautions—Read This First!

WARNING: For use in vehicles, it is the sole responsibility of the

owner/operator of a vehicle with the GPSmap 60C installed to place and

secure the device so that it will not interfere with the vehicle operating

controls and safety devices, obstruct the driver’s view of driving condi-

tions, or cause damage or personal injury in the event of an accident.

Do not mount the unit over airbag panels or in the ﬁ eld of airbag

deployment. Airbags expand with a rapid force that can propel objects

in their path towards the vehicle driver or passengers causing possible

injury. Refer to airbag safety precautions contained in the vehicle owner’s

manual.

Do not mount the unit in a place where the driver or passengers are

likely to impact it in a collision. The mounting hardware provided by

Garmin is not warranted against collision damage or the consequences

thereof.

WARNING: When used in vehicles, it is the sole responsibility of the

driver of the vehicle to operate the vehicle in a safe manner, maintain

full surveillance of all driving conditions at all times, and not become

distracted by the unit to the exclusion of safe driving practices. It is

unsafe to operate the controls of the unit while you are driving. Failure

by the driver of a vehicle equipped with a GPSmap 60C installed to pay

full attention to operation of the vehicle and road conditions while the

vehicle is in motion could result in an accident with property damage and

personal injury.

Introduction

Battery Installation and

Start Up

Important Note

When replacing batteries, use only new or fully

charged batteries. Do not mix Alkaline and NiMH bat-

teries. Rechargeable batteries may typically display less

capacity than disposable batteries.

Remove the batteries from the unit if you don’t plan

to use it for several months. Storing batteries in the

unit for prolonged periods may result in leakage and

damage to the battery compartment.

Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for proper care

and disposal of used batteries. Do not incinerate used

batteries, as internal materials may ignite with explosive

violence.

Extensive use of backlighting and/or WAAS as well as

key beep tones will signiﬁ cantly reduce battery life.

To set backlighting intensity and timeout, see page 44.

To disable WAAS, see page 43.

To mute the beep tones, see page 46.

Installing the Batteries

The GPSmap operates on two “AA” batteries (not included), which are

located in the back of the unit. Alkaline or NiMH batteries (see page

43 for setting the battery type) may be used. Stored data will not be

lost when batteries are removed.

o install batteries:

1. Remove the battery cover from the

back of the unit. Turn the D-Ring 1/4

turn counter-clockwise and then pull.

2. Insert the batteries, observing the

proper polarity. A polarity diagram

can be found moulded into

the battery compartment.

3. Reinstall the battery cover by inserting

the bottom slot over the tab at the

base of the unit and reinserting the

locking pin in the back of the unit.

Turn the D-Ring 1/4 turn clockwise

to lock in place.

Getting Started

Satellite Page Acquiring Satellite Signals

Initialization & the Satellite Page

Starting Up the GPS Receiver

Whenever you turn on the GPSmap 60C, the GPS receiver begins to

search for satellites in order to determine its location which is necessary

for navigation. This process is called “initialization” and can take up to

15 minutes the ﬁ rst time you use your unit. Thereafter, if you haven’t

moved move than 600 miles from your original location, it takes only

seconds to minutes. In order to receive satellite signals, you must be

outdoors and have a clear view of the sky. Satellite signals cannot pass

through solid materials (except glass) or dense overhead tree cover. To

shorten the time required for this ﬁ rst initialization, select “New Location”

from the options menu, then you can use the Map Page to determine

your general location

so the GPSmap 60C can search for just those satel-

lites above your position.

o initialize your GPSmap 60C:

1. Press and release the POWER key to turn on the unit.

2. Observe the Welcome Page followed by the Satellite Page.

3. While the GPS receiver is searching for the satellite signals, an

“Acquiring Satellites” message appears at the top of the page.

You will also observe a sky view array of the satellites overhead

with your position centered in the array. The outer circle represents the

horizon and the inner circle a position 45

from the horizon. The num-

bers displayed indicate the number assigned to each satellite. A bar graph

displays the strength of signals from each satellite.

The GPSmap 60C locates satellites above its position

4. When the receiver has signals from at least three satellites, the

display at the top of the page will change to indicate position

accuracy and location coordinates. The Status Bar at the

top of

the display indicates the GPS status and status of other

features.

If, for any reason, you have difﬁ culty initializing your GPSmap 60C,

the solution could be as simple as moving slightly to avoid objects that

are blocking or deﬂ ecting the satellite signals.

5. Press and Release the PAGE key until the Map Page is dis-

played. You are now ready to begin GPS aided navigation.

Active Navigation is supported by three of the Main Pages:

The Map Page graphically shows you map details, your current loca-

tion, marks your route to a destination with a route line, and leaves a trail

(track log) of where you’ve been.

The Compass Page indicates direction to go and direction of travel.

The Trip Computer Page records and displays travel data.

There are three methods of navigating to a destination when using the

GPSmap 60C’, each graphically displayed on the Map Page.

Go To -

A direct path to a selected destination (waypoint, city, address, etc.).

Track - A previous path of travel that has been stored (logged) in the

GPSmap 60C.

A Track allows you to repeat a path or return on the path.

Route - A path to a destination consisting of intermediate stops along

the way (waypoints, cities, exits, points of interest, intersections, etc.).

Refer to the sections on Tracks, Routes and Waypoints for details.

The Main Page Features

Status Bar, Backlighting and On-Screen Messages

At the top of each page, a Status Bar (which is always displayed)

provides current status information for several unit features.

• Power to the unit is provided by either the batteries or from

an auxiliary source (AC or DC Adapter). The Battery Power icon

displays the remaining power as the battery becomes depleted.

• Satellite signal status is shown when searching for (acquiring)

satellites, when a two-dimensional ﬁ x is attained and when four or

more satellites have been received (three dimensional ﬁ x).

• Backlighting is Off when you power up the unit. When On, it

uses a signiﬁ cant amount of battery power. This icon displays

when the backlight is functioning.

• Alarm Clock: this icon displays whenever the Alarm is

set.

• USB cable connection displays when the unit is in communi-

cation with a PC Universal Serial Bus.

You may want to adjust the backlight level by pressing down on the

POWER key and releasing. Then tap the POWER key or ROCKER key

Up/Down arrows to cycle through the levels of backlight adjustment. See

page 44 for information on changing the display colors and backlight

timeout and brightness levels.

Whenever a signiﬁ cant event in the operation of the unit occurs, an

on-screen message will display to advise you of the occurrence. In each

case the condition is described and often a remedy provided. Pressing the

ENTER key will acknowledge and close the message window.

The Map Page

Using the Map Page

The Map Page is the primary navigation feature of the GPSmap 60C.

The Map Page displays a detailed map of the area surrounding your cur-

rent location. It allows you to pan the map with the ROCKER key as well

as view your progress when navigating. When in the “Track Up” mode

(oriented in the direction of travel), a north reference arrow appears at the

top left corner to orient the map. When in the “North Up” mode the map

is oriented like a paper map. When you activate the

Track Log feature,

your path of movement is indicated by a dotted line. The map display can

be changed to “Night” mode for easier viewing in dim light. The factory

set default automatically changes the display at sunrise and sunset.

The map also displays geographic details such as rivers, lakes, high-

ways and towns. The maps to the left show a higher level of detail than

the basemap provided with the unit (i.e. residential streets, parks, etc.)

because Garmin MapSource

detailed mapping data has been downloaded

from a CD-ROM program.

You can use the Map Page to:

• Determine your current location and progress while moving

• Select and save a map point as a waypoint.

• Locate and navigate to map items by following a Route displayed

on the map.

• Customize the map display to your requirements.

Using Map Page Features

Use the Zoom In and Out buttons to change the map scale in order to

show more map area with less detail or less map area with more detail.

Press and hold to Zoom the map scale rapidly.

The map scale in the lower left hand side of the display is shown in

units of measurement selected in the “Units” ﬁ eld of the Unit Setup Page

(not to be confused with the Map Setup Page). If you zoom in so far that

the resolution of the map data is exceeded and the appearance of the map

is no longer accurate, the word, “ overzoom” displays just below the map

scale. When using MapSource detailed maps, “mapsource” appears below

the scale.

In many instances the map displays an “Accuracy Circle” surround-

ing the “Position Icon”. The GPSmap 60C uses both map resolution and

GPS accuracy in deﬁ ning your location to a point within the circle. The

smaller the circle, the more accurate your location.

When using the “Pan Map” feature, a small outline arrow (Panning

Arrow) can be moved about the page to highlight and identify map items

or to scroll the map to view areas not shown on the display screen. If

there are more than one map items under the Panning Arrow. a list of

those items displays with the item highlighted on the map, also high-

lighted on the list.

Optional data ﬁ elds can be added at the top of the display to provide a

variety of travel and navigational information, see pages that follow.

The Compass Page

Using the Compass Page

The Compass Page is your guide to accurate and efficient navigation. It

uses traditional navigation displays to provide navigation information.

Whenever navigation is in progress, the Compass Page provides

navigation data and directions. It uses a graphic compass display and a

bearing pointer along with digital data fields to display information such

as current speed, distance to the next point on the route, estimated arrival

time, etc. You can choose from three or four data fields and select the

type of data displayed in each from a list of options.

When moving, the rotating graphic compass indicates the direction

you are heading. The Bearing Pointer indicates the direction (bearing) to

your destination, relative to your current heading direction. The compass

dial and bearing pointer work independently to show your direction

of movement and the direction to your destination. For instance, if the

arrow points straight up, you are headed directly to the next point. If the

arrow points any other direction other than up, move in the direction of

the arrow until it points up again, then continue in that direction. You

can choose between a Bearing Pointer or a Course Pointer for guidance.

The compass does not function as a magnetic compass when you are

stationary. However when you move, the dial rotates to keep you oriented

in relation to North. This is especially helpful when using a paper map in

conjunction with your unit for navigation.

and activated by pressing ENTER to stop navigating.

3. The second option is “Course Pointer” or “Bearing Pointer”.

The Bearing Pointer and Compass Ring work independently of the

direction of your movement and the direction to your destination. The

Bearing Pointer always points directly to the destination, no matter what

your current location might be.

For example: if the 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. If you are using the ‘Course Pointer’ option instead and

you drift away from the line of travel to your destination, the Course

Deviation Indicator (CDI) provides graphic indication of drift (right or

left) and displays the distance off course.

Using Find

Using the Find Menu

The Find Feature provides you with a method for searching for

Waypoints, Cities, Exits and Geocache Points which are included in the

GPSmap 60C basemap. If you have downloaded Garmin MapSource

mapping data that contains additional map detail, you can search for

and ﬁ nd Points of Interest, Addresses and Intersections. If you down-

load BlueChart

data, you can ﬁ nd Marine Points such as Wrecks and

Obstructions, NAVAIDS, and Anchorages. If this additional data is not

loaded, these options are not available.

earching for a map item is simpliﬁ ed by separating the map database

into groups which are shown as icons on the Find Menu Page.

• When you access a Find group list, by default it will contain 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), “Select

Category” (for those groups such as Food and Drink, Lodging, etc.). Using

these options can effectively shorten your

search.

Using Routes

Creating and Using a Route

Route navigation allows you to create a sequence of intermediate

waypoints which lead you to your ﬁ nal destination. The GPSmap 60C stores

50 routes, each with up to 250 waypoints each. A route can be created and

modiﬁ ed from the Routes Page, and waypoints can be added to a route

from the Find Menu. More complex routes can be created using a PC and

MapSource mapping programs and then transferred to the unit memory.

To create a route:

1. Access the ‘Routes’ page from the Main Menu. The page has a

“New” button, an “Active” button and a list of saved routes.

2. Use the ROCKER key to highlight the ‘New’ button and press

ENTER to display the route Setup Page.

3. With an empty row (dashed) in the route list highlighted, press

ENTER to display the Find Menu.

4. Use the Find Menu to select a route waypoint from one of the

Find Menu groups and display the Information Page for the

selected waypoint, city, exit, point of interest, etc. Highlight

the on-screen ‘Use’ button and press ENTER to place it on the

Route Waypoint List.

5. To add more waypoints to the route, repeat the process in Steps

3 and 4. You can rename the route if desired.

6. Press QUIT to save it to the Saved Routes list. Or, highlight the

Methods of navigating to a destination:

• When you activate the “Go To” button on the Information Page for a

User Waypoint or other Find Menu items, the GPSmap 60C creates

a straight path (point to point) from your current location to that

location.

• When you press the “Navigate” button on a Route page the GPSmap

60C creates a route composed of several User Waypoints or Find

Menu items, with the last being your destination. It navigates

directly from point to point. Before each turn in the route a turn

page displays a guidance message and graphic of the turn. You can

view the turns at any time by pressing the ROCKER key Up or

Down arrows while the route is active.

• These two navigation methods change when you select the “Follow

Roads” option from the Routing Setup Page. Both Go To navigation

and point to point routing become routes that allow you to navigate

using roads.

The routes use existing roadways (either those in the basemap or

from downloaded detail mapping) to automatically calculate a route

to your destination. Turns on roadways are added to the active route

page and will be preceded by a guidance message with graphic

display of the turn.

If there are not enough roads at your location to calculate a route, a

message will display to advise you.

Virtua Maze

This GPS game creates a virtual maze on the screen. You are placed at

a central position in the maze and must explore the maze collecting flags.

The lower right corner of the screen tells you how many flags remain.

The lower left corner is a timer displaying the elapsed time. The Difficulty

Lever determines how much of the maze you can see at one time. View-

ing less of the maze makes the game more difficult.

HINT: Pressing the ENTER key and selecting “Cheat On” will enable

a “cheat mode.” Enabling this mode will penalize you by five minutes and

count seconds by 10 instead of 2. Turn the cheat mode Off by pressing

the ENTER key.

Geko Smak

Geko Smak is a GPS based game that features you as the player piece.

In measured rhythm, Gekos will appear on the screen. Before the Geko

disappears, move toward the Geko and press the ENTER key to smack

the Geko with a hammer. If you get the Geko, an “!” mark displays above

the hammer, if not, just a hammer displays momentarily.

Field size choices are small, medium and large, with small fields being

roughly 20 yards by 30 yards and large fields being 60 yards by 90 yards

(about the size of an American football field).

The difficulty levels are: Easy, Normal and Hard. These levels deter-

mine how often Gekos appear. The pace quickens and values vary as

difficulty levels increase.

Nibbons

In this GPS game, you must walk around the board collecting the

flags as they appear. As you walk, your “tail” will grow. You may travel

anywhere on the screen but you cannot walk on your tail, or you will lose

a life. As an added challenge, you must also avoid the Skulls that chase

after you.

Gekoids

This GPS game, which can be played without GPS on, is all about

blasting gekoids. The catch is, you are the ship and you can survive only

when you avoid getting hit. Before you begin to play, make certain to

make your game settings. Orient Map “Northwards” rotates your ship

in the center of the map. The map is stationary and north is always up.

Orient Map “Ship Up” rotates the virtual world around your ship. Your

ship always points Up.

Press the ENTER key to start and blast away!

IMPORTANT WARNING: When playing any of the virtual games

(where you are moving about on a real playing field), use reasonable and

prudent caution in selecting an area free of hazards such a holes, obstruc-

tions or proximity to vehicular traffic. Playing these games may distract

your attention from observing objects in your path.

Transferring MapSource Map Data

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 60C 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 loca-

tion at the same time (one will draw over the other). When you leave a

MetroGuide 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 MetroGuide map.

Maps that are at the top of the hierarchy and will replace any other

map information. Because new maps are constantly being released, con-

sult 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 CD-

ROM, and the Universal Service Bus (USB) cable supplied with this unit.

Follow detailed instructions for data transfer in the MapSource User’s

Manual.

Garmin MapSource

CD-ROM’s 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.

Map Datums

What are Map Datums, and which should I use?

A datum is a mathematical model of the Earth which approximates

the shape of the Earth, and enables calculations to be carried out in a

consistent and accurate manner. The datum is physically represented by

a framework of ground monuments (i.e. trig. stations) whose positions

have been accurately measured and calculated on this reference surface.

Lines of latitude and longitude on a map or chart are referenced to a

specific map datum. Every chart has a map datum reference and the

GPSmap 60C can be set to match most of those commonly used.

If you are navigating and comparing the GPS coordinates to a map,

chart or other reference, the map datum in the GPS unit should be

set to the same datum as the map or chart to insure the most accurate

navigation.

What is a Position Format, and which should I use?

Your current location can be viewed on the GPS in the form of

coordinates. Since different maps and charts use different location

formats, Garmin GPS units allow you to choose the correct coordinate

system for the type of map you are using. The most common format is

latitude and longitude, which is utilized by all Garmin units. On most

models, you may choose to change the position format to use with other

coordinate systems. UTM/UPS (Universal Transverse Mercator/Universal

Polar Stereographic) are easy-to-use metric grids that are found on most

USGS topographic quadrangle maps. Several other grids, including a

user-deﬁ nable grid (for the advanced user), may also be selected.

WAAS and DGPS

What is WAAS?

The Wide Area Augmentation System (WAAS) is an F.A.A. funded

project to improve the overall integrity of the GPS signal. It is a space-

based system that broadcasts integrity information and correction data as

determined by ground reference stations (see DGPS below). At this time

the system is still in the developmental stage with a goal of providing

reliable signals with an accuracy of 7 meters (21-22 ft.) both horizontally

and vertically 95% of the time. Current tests have shown the actual ac-

curacy to be on the order of 2-3 meters. For more information, go to

http://gps.faa.gov/Programs/WAAS/waas.htm.

What is Differential GPS (DGPS)?

The U.S. and Canadian governments (among others) have set up

Differential GPS (DGPS) stations to transmit correction signals. They are

operational in coastal areas and on many navigable river systems. The

DGPS system is available for use without fee.

In addition to compensating for errors in the position, these correc-

tions signals can also correct for deliberate degradation of the accuracy of

GPS by the U.S. Department of Defense under their Selective Availability

(SA) program.

Refer to the U.S. Coast Guard’s web site: http://www.navcen.uscg.gov/

for locations and the status of the differential sites. Using DGPS requires

additional equipment.

Interface Wiring Diagram

Appendices

Interface formats are selected from the Interface Setup on page 44 of

this manual. The input/output lines on your GPSmap 60C are RS-232

compatible, allowing easy interface to a wide range of external devices,

including PC’s, differential beacon receivers, marine autopilots and /or a

second GPS receiver.

The NMEA 0183 version 3.0 interface format is supported by the

GPSmap 60C and enables the unit to drive up to three NMEA devices.

NMEA 0183 Version 3.0 Approved Sentences:

GPGGA, GPGLL, GPGSA, GPGSV, GPRMB, GPRMC, GPRTE, GPVTG,

GPWPL, GPBOD

Garmin Proprietary Sentences:

PGRME (estimated error), PGRMM (datum string), PGRMZ (altitude),

PSLIB (beacon receiver control)

DGPS (Differential GPS) corrections are accepted in RTCM SC-104

version 2.0 format through the ‘Data In’ line. The Garmin GBR 21 and

GBR 23 are the recommended beacon receivers for use with the GPSmap

60C. Other beacon receivers with the correct RTCM format may be used,

but may not correctly display status or allow tuning control from the GPS

unit.

The USB Interface Cable provided with

this unit allows you to connect your GPSmap

60C to a PC-compatible computer’s USB port.
