[Az-Geocaching] Garmin GPSMAP 60CS

[Brian Casteel]

I haven't, but I have used the 60C.  The only difference between the two is 
the CS has a magnetic compass and barometric altimeter.  The latter is for 
the most part, useless, but the magnetic compass is a pretty cool feature. 
When I bought, I saw no need to spend $50 on that single feature, whereas a 
traditional compass (even liquid-filled) would cost less.  It also has a 
battery life about 1/3 less than that of the 60C, or about 20 hours to the 
30 of the C.

Either way you go, you'll be VERY happy with the purchase.  The night-time 
mode inverts the colors so the brighter image doesn't burn your night 
vision.  It's still plenty easy to see at night, and I loved having that 
feature on my drives from Black Canyon City or Casa Grande back to Phoenix. 
The several hours I was driving in darkness coming from Minneapolis last 
week was another good experience.  There are several different color schemes 
for both day/night modes, so it offers many ways to tailor it to your needs.
