[Az-Geocaching] Garmin 60CSX

[Jim Scotti]

I have a 60CSx and I love it.  You an turn the electronic compass on and off, 
so the battery issue shouldn't be as significant.  I just carry lots of NiMH 
batteries with me, so it doesn't matter much....  The 60CSx is a very big 
improvement over my old Legend in a lot of ways - higher precision, larger 
memory size for maps, a color screen that is much more readable than the old 
Legend, USB connectivity to your computer, and many other new features.  I 
can't compare it to an Explorist 600, since I've never used one of them. 
The 60C series also has some geocaching specific functionality.  I think 
there's also still a $50 rebate active on it, though I might be wrong - I 
don't remember when it expires, but I was thinking the end of the year.  I 
got mine back in August.

Jim.
