My dad and I are getting ready to set off on a five week trip to Alaska. We are ordering a Garmin 60cx(our first unit) for the trip. We wanted a GPS to do some geocaching as well as to just have one with us up there. I have heard that the basemaps are next to useless. We already own a copy of the older maps and I am curious about how much better the TOPO 2008 is than the older version and if it would be worth it to invest in it.
How good is the coverage of Alaska...it sounds a bit iffy to me.
Please reply soon as we are leaving July 8th.
