Garmin GPS review

[screech20]

These forums have been fantastic and I think I have decided on a Garmin. I am now deciding between the 60cx and the eTrex. Both have multiple models. What is the "real life" difference that I would notice during my geocaching experiences. Objuective and Subjective critiques welcomed.

 

Thank you for your replies. Your help has been more than I can express.

Not sure which model of eTrex you are thinking, but the Garmin website has a pretty decent way to display their product lines, put a checkmark next to several models, and press a "compare" button to put their features side-by-side for comparison.

 

For example, here is the GPS MAP 60CX vs. eTrex Vista HCx comparison. I find the Garmin website very nice in this way.

I have an eTrex Venture and a 60CSx. The eTrex is my backup unit and the 60 sees most of the action.

 

I like the bigger display on the 60CSx.

I also have a 60csx and a venture cx as my back up. I like the button layout on the 60csx better. I keep forgetting which button does what on the venture but again it is my back up and I don't use it all that often.
