Garmin eTrex Vista GPS (not color). Includes: Ram cradle with ball mount, MapSource Metro Guide North America software, PC serial cable, 12v power/PC cable and a Garmin dash mount kit. All this new was about $260. Asking $100. Includes UPS in the lower 48.
I recently bought a new GPS and its working fine. Now it’s time to sell the old one. This GPS uses a “serial” cable to connect to your computer. If all you have is USB, they do make serial to USB adapters, but they can be a challenge. The GPS works fine. Software is about a year old. Contact ccrowdson at mac-dot-com

Hi Kevin
FWIW here’s my 2 cents. I had been looking at the same units you are. I’ve used a Etrex Vista for about a year now, with Metroguide. Screen size a bit smaller than the 60csx. Not color. On the trail it’s ok. In a car it is ok. On the motorcycle, kinda tough to see. Letters are small and more vibration. While riding I can only give it a quick glance. Eyes are not what they used to be. 40 something.
I decided on the XL. The screen size it what sold me. I thought I might lose a couple features with the Magellan. Time will tell. Waiting on the new software. I can read the thing 4 feet away without my glasses. (ok 3 ½’). So far using it is not any harder, just different. All the basic stuff is there. I’ll see about the routing later. Good luck
