Anybody got any recommendations on handheld GPS units??

I'm thinking about a Garmin GPSMAP 60 CX

Any and all comments appreciated

I've got a Lowrance Globalmap100. Not a bad unit for the money.
I had a Garmin GPSMAP76. It got stolen after I had it for a year. I loved it. Slim, weatherproof, it floats, built in points of interest. I highly recommend it.

I've had the Garmin GPSMAP60C for several years. I've been very happy with it once I had a mount build for it. I never could get use to having a GPS in my pack. It's extreemely useful mounted on the bike where I can see it while riding.

On the KDX


On the KX

I have the Garmin Legend mounted like Q.C.'s, Works great, good detail with the topo upgrade. Download saved tracks on your p.c. and you can view them on google earth in 3-D.

What's a good price for one?

That's not a bad price. I paid Garmin $130.00 to fix mine after it decided to take a trip down the trail (hense the metal cage on the KX for it). The cool thing about the color models...you can make each track stored on the GPS a different color. It's extreemely usefull when your out on an unfamiliar trial that is in the same area as familiar trail.

how about this one:

It looks big and with touch screen, perhaps easier to use?

Shouldn't you purchase a ruggedized unit? That thing has voice prompts on it... not very useful...

O.K. got my work to buy me this one:
Garmin GPSMap 60CSx
they just don't know they bought for me yet. Sure like my VISA corporate procurement card. But I use mine a lot and my old one is hard to see any more.

On sale at Amazon.com for $250 after rebates. Also got the handle bar mount made for it.

I've just ordered a Garmin GPSMap 76CSx. Haven't got it yet though
