Hey ya'll Thanks for your great responses! I had no idea all the uses for GPS and and the optional sensors. I am torn between the 60c and the 60cs. I am probably going to get the 60cs because I have the opportunity to go ahead and get a good unit right now, and so I am going to do so. I can always turn them off if I don't use them, or to conserve battery life. thanks, CenTex

I am sure this has been covered before, but are the electronic compass and altimeter necessary? It seems to me that if you are going to a known point (point B ) from point A the gps will tell you the bearing of point B in relation to you. Then, if you just start walking, it will detect your movement and give you an arrow to go to get to point be even if you start walking in exactly the wrong direction. Maybe I am missing something and ya'll can fill me in on what I am missing. See ya later, CenTex

Hey ya'll I am a noob here and I have a few questions. I am looking to upgrade from an aging eMap to a 60c or 60cs. According to Garmin's site, the 60c has an estimated battery life of 30hrs and the 60cs has an estimated battery life of 20 hrs. Does anyone know if you would be able to turn these features off save battery life? I haven't decided for sure which one, and your responses would help me. CenTexDodger
