[aprssig] Garmin GPSMAP 60CS

[Andy AB9FX]

I use my GPSMAP60CS more than a year in many places around the world as 
handy and mobile. I'm still happy with this companion. Round 4-pin connector 
(big one) with NMEA and also USB for quick map upload.
Runs on two AA and also accepts direct 10-32V.

73!
