Hey all. I'll start by saying my 60csx is still awesome. Had it for about four or five years now. I've got a great mapset created from all my past runs in NH/VT/ME for snowmobiling. Won't trail ride withou it. Has saved us many times. That said. It's been a few years since I've researched devices. What is the next great replacement that gives me at least the same features the 60csx has? Is it garmins 62 model? Is there enough difference to warrant dropping several hundred for this device, or others? I have the 60 mounted and wired for both my sleds....so new mounting costs are also a consideration. Thx for any thoughts or comments.

i believe thats the 5pin usb 'universal' serial connector ; works on many devices.

thats a pretty darn good oofer.

hey all, great info - thanks very much. makes perfect sense. last question - calibrating the altimeter...whats the best way? i presume its just inputting a "known" altitude where our at, and it goes from there...right?

i have the garmin 60csx. I see the altimeter screen...it shows the elevation. then, under the "satellites" page, i select menu, and then gps elevation, to get another elevation reading... what is the difference? specifically, i took the gps on the airplane with me today, and it was cool. all speed readings and gps coordinates were awesome to see during flight. However, the altimeter reading was around 6500 feet for most of the flight. when i looked at the satelling-menu-gps elevation, it was the reading i was expecting, i.e. 38000 feet (or so) during flight. any ideas/thoughts? maybe i dont know what the altimeter is really used for...???? thanks!
