  1. I have the 60CSx. Personally, I think the good seriously outweighs the bad here. Since owning a GPS V, Legend and Forerunner, the 60CSx is amazing. The ability to get a lock inside the house and under tree cover is a big plus for me.
  2. I edited my earlier post about GSAK and the 60CSx. Clyde has a good workaround that will get us by until a more permanent solution is found. Basically, you just export to Mapsource's Trip and Waypoint Manager then send to your 60CSx.
  3. My first GPSr was a Magellan 2000 GPS. Oh my gosh, that thing would take forever to get a lock on the satellites. Once going it would eat batteries alive too. I still have it somewhere around here. I never used it very much. I've since moved on to the E-trex Legend, the GPS V and now the 60CSx.
  4. Here is my 60CSx experience and feelings as compared to my 60CS: 1. I just noticed the alarm clock function missing too! That was handy on my 60CS, especially when traveling. I'm with you in hoping Garmin makes this possible in a future update. 2. The satellite lock is amazing. I'm able to keep a lock deep inside the house and also in the basement. The old 60CS would drop out if I wasn't near a window. 3. I've noticed the continuous shifting of the current position indicator too. I downloaded the tracks to Mapsource just for fun and the tracks plotted same way. In other words, the tracks on the map were all over the place too. I wonder if this has to do with the increased sensitivity?? 4. I miss the old icons too. I mean these are ok but the others looked more professional. 5. The 60CSx and GSAK do not appear to enjoy each others company. I've not been able to get the two to communicate yet. I think this has been posted on the GSAK's forum. EDITED: Clyde has a great workaround available! GSAK rocks as usual. 6. The USB port provides power to the unit. I like that. 7. So far, I've not been able to get accuracy below 17 feet. This might improve when all the local cloud cover moves out.
