Ok I went with alot of your recommendations and bought the Garmin 60 CSX I am so far very pleased with it. I would like to know of any good places to get Maps for this unit. Free maps are better than having to put out more money.
I would also buy a good compass. Just to make sure when you are off in bula bula land that the GPS compass is correct. Ask me why I think that is necessary.Gary
The Map Source series are the only ones I know of. You can get them through Garmin on line or you could check the GPS Store online as well. I use the DVDs vs the SD cards. This allows me to have all map on my computer.
As far as getting a good compass I know what sage is talking about. Any time you change the batteries on the 60csx make sure you re calibrate the compass.
Check out gpsfiledepot.com before you spend another penny.It may have all you need.
Forgot to add they are free and I think you may even be able to download Mapsource from that location if you dont already have it.
ok I will check that site out. thanks for the info Guys
