[Az-Geocaching] Garmin GPSMAP 60CS

[Brian Casteel]

It sure does.  The only Garmin units to stray from that plug system were the 
eTrex series.  Everything else uses the round connector.  Of course, the 
data xfer is via USB unless you really like waiting around for 56MB to 
transfer over serial connection.  :)
