Yea this is what I want. I haven't held it in my hand yet, but the form factor looks rounded enough such that its still pocket-able and not too obtrusive? It comes with a belt clip. I'll just wear it around my neck using a lanyard once I get mine. I assume it has a ring to attach one. Finally got it! Well it wasn't a real long wait, ordered from GetFeetWet on the 11th dropped off by UPS on the 17th. This unit is truly amazing! Form factor is perfect for me. Nice rounded feel when holding it, easy to hold and navigate thru the menus single handed. Just like using a flip phone, no problems there. Thicker in feel then a cell phone but still pocketable if needed. There is a D-ring in the back that a lanyard could be hooked to. In addition to the belt clip it also comes with a wrist strap. Just have to figure out the best way to mount it for use in both vehicles. Read in another post that someone used a cell phone mount in combination with the belt clip... anyone have any ideas on that?

Thanks for all the help everyone. I decided to stick with my first choice and get the 60cs, mainly for the extra memory, ability to add an external antenna if needed and partly because I prefer the look & layout of it over the Vista C. I know either way I couldn't go wrong. I looked at the 76cs and even though it has even more memory I do not care for the layout with the buttons on top, plus I was already maxxing out my spending on the 60cs... I'm also getting the auto nav kit! thcri; Special Thanks to you! that was very nice of you to offer to load up my intended route. Since the bulk of my ride will be down I95 I really only need certain areas loaded, mostly destination and stopovers. I just wanted a rough idea if anyone knew for sure whether or not the entire thing could fit. Well that's it for now... I just have to wait! and wait and wait...

Looking for a 60cs, Could you let me know where you found a 60cs for that cheap. I would really appreciate it. That is the price I found at buy.com, actually it is $388 but that does not include shipping. The $395 price at getfeetwet.com includes free shipping, free t-shirt and free 1 year extended warranty.

Hello All, Since reading about geocaching in a local paper I've decided this is not only a great way for me to incorporate biking/hiking/& treasure hunting (getting my kids involved too), but also another great reason to buy a new toy! My original plan was to get a basic Etrex model strictly for geocaching. After much research I now see that getting a gps with auto routing would be very helpful for the driving trips we take. I have narrowed down the field to either the Garmin 60cs or the Vista C. Yes, I may not need the extra bells & whistles with the 60cs over the 60c, or the Vista C over the Legend C, but, hey I like my gadgets and would rather have it all up front rather then to not get it and regret it later. From what I have found out so far I can get the Vista C for around $330, smaller size, latest and greatest(?) or the 60cs for $390, more memory (hard to pass up more memory on anything), larger size which can be good or bad... bigger to hold but also larger display. Here's where I need some help... 1) Which unit's antenna will provide me with the best, or should I say, the most reliable, constant reception? The 60cs with the quad-helix antenna or the Vista C with the built in patch antenna?? Has Garmin made any significant improvement to the internal antenna on the Vista C or is the quad-helix better? 2) The 60cs has a connection on the back for an external antenna, I don't see this mentioned in the Vista C manual, is that true or am I missing something? 3) Memory, I am planning a trip from NY City to Orlando and I realize I cannot fit the maps for every state along the way into either unit but if I were to store just the blocks needed for my intended route would it all fit into either one? I would be using Mapsource City Select which I have yet to purchase. 4) Driving, in one other post (gps 60cs oddness) I read that if the 60cs loses lock on the sats will estimate your current postion, is that true for the Vista C also? 5) Geocaching, from the manual it appears that the 60cs has a nice setup for storing found/unfound caches. The manual on the Vista C doesn't have much info at all regarding this. Is it the same? 6) Ease of use, the extra buttons on the 60cs or the stick on the Vista C, which one is easier to use? I realize alot of this is opinion, but I appreciate everyones thoughts on this. So far the 60cs is the one I am leaning towards but I just want to cover all bases. Thanks!
