So I like it quite well but there are some things I wish were different. If I had the cash to throw more at a GPS I probably would go to a larger GPS like the 276C, although it really scares me to take a spill with such an expensive unit. So the 60CSx you can only have 20 Tracks on the unit itself to Map. It will save your tracks till its full on the SD card, I just pulled like 30 of them off the SD Card, but you don't see all of those in the Track page to load up. So you need to use a mix of Routes and Tracks. Don't get me wrong its a very capable unit for sure and make sure you get the 'x' version so you can load up external SD cards. I have a 4Gb in mine, I have all 49 states plus Canada loaded. Here's some specs: <strong>Waypoint/icons: </strong>1000 with name and graphic symbol, 10 nearest (automatic), 10 proximity <strong>Routes:</strong> 50 reversible routes with up to 250 points each, plus MOB and TracBack modes® <strong>Tracks:</strong> 10K point automatic track log; 20 saved tracks 500 points each let you retrace your path in both directions <strong>Trip computer:</strong> Current speeed, average speed, resettable max. speed, trip timer and trip distance <strong>Alarms:</strong> Anchor drag, approach and arrival, off-course, proximity waypoint, shallow water and deep water <strong>Tables:</strong> Built-in celestial tables for best times to fish and hunt, sun and moon rise, set and location <strong>Map datums:</strong> More than 100 plus user datum <strong>Position format:</strong> Lat/Lon, UTM/UPS, Maidenhead, MGRS, Loran TDs and other grids, including user UTM grid only Thanks for the GPS links, I'm checking them out !

How do you like your 60CSx? I'm going to get a GPS soon, and am torn between that and the Oregon 300. I've played with http://ridewithgps.com/ and it has some interesting features. http://www.gpsvisualizer.com/ is also a really easy way to get a jpeg from a gpx file. Thanks for the tip.
