+robcaryh Posted October 5, 2006 Share Posted October 5, 2006 Howdy all I am thinking of getting the GPSMAP 60 for my first try into caching.I like it because it has the bigger antenna that I am reading does well in tree cover and even in the house.Any experiences with this? I would love the color version,but $250 is more in my price range. Quote Link to comment

+robcaryh Posted October 5, 2006 Author Share Posted October 5, 2006 Wow,even with the helix antenna? It's the same antenna as on the 60csx isnt it? Quote Link to comment
+robcaryh Posted October 5, 2006 Author Share Posted October 5, 2006 Wow,even with the helix antenna on it? Will any of the x models of garmin give me good coverage under trees or just the 60csx and 60cx models? Quote Link to comment
+Paulsan Posted October 5, 2006 Share Posted October 5, 2006 Wow,even with the helix antenna? It's the same antenna as on the 60csx isnt it? Yeah, but it doesn't have the Sirf chipset. Quote Link to comment
+robcaryh Posted October 5, 2006 Author Share Posted October 5, 2006 Yeah,I just noticed that. Well,I dropped the hammer and just ordered the 60csx.Hopefully it works well. Quote Link to comment
