This a wonderful summary! What a time saver!!!! Thanks so much! I've been researching the same units and doing the comparison thing, but you summed it all up so beautifully, in one place. I really appreciate your links to the other discussions and reference points. I'm going with the Venture for all the same reasons. Have fun! Thanks again! BootyScadoodle

Hello! Please help some newbies! We're new to geocaching and getting ready to purchase our own gps. We've researched these boards and internet but still have questions regarding the maps. (and still researching!) Does the Map60csx come with maps or do you still need to purchase them? Does "map" refer to being able to read maps on the unit or that they are already loaded in? Would we be purchasing the same maps if we went with the less expensive Legend Cx /Vista Cx? We live in an area with lots of trees and steep hillsides so reception is pretty important, but based on what we've read, it appears that both units seem to have pros and cons under the trees. We're so confused! We don't want to over-buy but also don't want to be frustrated right off the bat. Your impressions and any other advice you may have about these units would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
