The Map60's page kind of confuses me. It says it's a non-mapping unit:

 

The GPS 60 is a non-mapping unit that comes factory pre-loaded with a 1 MB marine point database that includes worldwide cities.

 

Then says maps transfer quickly:

 

Fast map transfer, with support for both USB and serial port interfaces; navigation instructions can be shared with repeaters, plotters, and autopilots using NMEA protocols through the dedicated serial port

 

How do those work together?

Thanks guys, I'll check out the models mentioned!

 

Sputnik - I drive a '90 XJ, so sort of setting it on the dash in the windshield there's little chance for sustained reception. I've wedged my eTrex in between the dash and windshield somewhat regularly, but it's starting to peel the rubber strip around the outside from holding it there, and it doesn't stay very well. Reception's kind of a problem, and having my GPS in the window like that kind of throws me off when I'm driving, so an external antenna would definitely be nice

 

Edit: I don't mind too much about mapping features, but how upgradable are the maps on the garmins? It says the factory maps can't be altered..What's up with that?

 

And what about the 76S? It doesn't have a features list, I'm thinking maybe it's not in production anymore..Do the "marine" features of the 76 series get in the way at all? I highly doubt I'll be taking it on any bodies of water other than wading to go fishing, so these features would just kind of be redundant to me...I doubt there's any way to remove them, so how prominent are they? Are any of the button's specific to marine features?

 

Thanks again!

I've got a yellow eTrex right now that I share with my dad, so it's full of waypoints that have no names and only he knows what they are. Because of this I'm looking to get my own GPSr. I want the ability to have an external antenna for use in my Jeep, but I also want it to be a handheld unit that I can take out in the woods on backpacking/hunting trips as well as caching. Obviously I want it to connect to my computer, and it's got to be waterproof...I'm having trouble finding a reciever that fits what I want. Any suggestions? I'm hoping to keep it as cheap as possible, but I'm not going to put any limit on price because I'd like to see what I should expect to pay if I do decide to upgrade later anyway..

 

Thanks!

Or maybe it was encoded with a government supercomputer to confused us geocachers
