+wzilla Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 Hi All Getting back in to Geocaching thinking of updating my gps I have a Garmin 60cxs look at the Garmin Oregon 400t or the colorado 400t any one have one of them and what do you think of it Quote Link to comment
+briansnat Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 You already have what many think is the best consumer grade GPS available right now. The Oregon or Colorado are newer but not necessarily an upgrade. Many 60CSX users where very disappointed by those units because many of the 60CSX features were not carried over into them. If you feel you must upgrade, the Oregon seems to get better reviews than the Colorado. The Delorme PN-40 has received a lot of good buzz and that might be worth looking into as well.

+palmetto Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 I don't own either the Colorado or the Oregon, but have cached a couple of times with friends that have them. If money weren't a consideration, I'd get the Oregon. You already own an excellent unit, as briansnat has said. Quote Link to comment
+StarBrand Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 If you really like the rich feature set and use many of the features of the 60CSx - you might be disappointed with the either the Colorado or Oregon. If your primary GPS use is Geocaching however - you will quickly fall in love with the paperless capabilities of the Colorado and Oregon. They are also exceptionally easy to learn to use. All 3 are very similar in sensitivity and accuracy. Quote Link to comment

+Colonial Cats Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 Lowrance is coming out with the new "Endura" line. They look promising and should be available in May. Quote Link to comment
+scuba dude Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 If you do decide to upgrade, I'll take that old junker of a 60csx off your hands for $10. I mean, you wouldnt want that old old thing cluttering up your caching drawer. That would just be tacky. Shoot me a pm when ready to dispose of it. Quote Link to comment
