DeLorme, Nice gesture. Thank you from all your loyal customers. Rick B.

RR, Can't speak to the duability of the Meridian, but I can to the Garmin units. I was involved in a trail program with the USFS several years ago mapping documented and undocumented trails in the Santa Rita Mountains of southern Arizona. We used Garmin GPS III on Quads and Dirt Bikes and had "0" failures of these units over the 1 year that the project lasted. To say that they got the occasional "Bump" would be an understatement, we beat them up pretty good. My III+ is still going strong and only now is it finally being replaced by a 60cs. I think I will still keep the III+ as a back up. Go with the "V" if you don't want to spend the extra money for the 60 series. IMHO Rick B.

I know this subject has already been beat up pretty good on the Forum but for those of us that are slow, one more time. I am replacing a III+ with a 60cs that is on a pre-order. Am currently using Roads and Rec. Older version updated to 5.4 but still using old map base. Question is: Is the latest v5 of City Select the best, and possibly only, package to use with the 60cs? I am sure the older R&R will work fine but in order to utilize the newer features of the 60cs I think the City Select may be a necessity. Am I off base here or do the resident experts agree? Thanks for your opinions. Rick B.
