Your probably right. It's not that much extra to go ahead and get the csx. I will probably go ahead and order the csx model. Have you used the city select software? Isn't that the one with turn-byb-turn routing? If so how do you like it. I plan on using it a lot on motorcycle trips. I have used the magellan a lot for that but it just has a point-to-point path and doesn't follow roads. It helps a little but I think the turn-by-turn routing will be awesome. Thanks for the help.

I was thinking that the electronic compass would be worth the extra money. The magellan I have now has a compass but you have to be moving in order for it to work. It would be nice to be able to stand in one spot and find directions. Thanks for the input. I have just about decided to go with the csx.

I am needing opinions on the 60cx and the 60csx. I plan on ordering one or the other soon. I have read were the 60csx will lose signal in a tunnel and have to be restarted after exiting the tunnel before it will aquire sattelits again. Is theis a common problem and is it a problem with the 60cx model also? What are the bugs for each model? Are their any bugs that are exclusive to one model or do they have the same bugs? I currently have a magellan meridian, the basic one. I have had it for 3 or 4 years and I am ready to upgrade. I use it for car navigation, motorcycle navigation, and geocaching. I hope to get a lot of feed back from many of you. I know there is a lot of knowledge about gps units on this forum and I can usr that knowledge to make my decision on which unit to get. Thanks for the help. I will be checking back periodicaly throughout the day. I hope to order a unit this week-end. One more thing. Is the only difference between the 60cx and the 60csx, the electronic compass and the altimeter?

I am wanting to upgrade my gps unit. I currently have the magellan meridian, just the basic one. I am happy with it's performance for what it is. I have never had a problem dropping sattelite reception even in dense trees. It doesn't have a few features that I would like though. I want a hand held unit with a color screen, electronic compass(that works while standing still), the capability of using turn-by-turn auto routing software(for auto and motorcycle travel), and one that takes memory cards. I have heard that the quadrifilar helix antennaes that magellans use work better than the patch antennaes that garmin uses. Is one of these better than the other? I have also heard that garmins mapping software is better (more detailed) than magellans. Is one of these better than the other? I would love to hear opinions from users of other gps units as well. The two that I am looking at right now is the magellan meridian color and the garmin etrex vista cx. But I will consider any others that have these features at a comparable price. Thanks for the help. I hope to get a lot of feed back.
