Not bad -

Not sure I would trust some of those resellers though.........

According to the Garmin website, the MSRP on the 60CSx is $399.99, unless you want the "Pacific" version which is $535.70. Since you appear to live in Canada and would get the "Americas" version, your savings is only about $104.49 instead of $240.49.

 

But it's still a decent price from a reputable re-seller. If you want cheaper you'll probably have to buy used from eBay or from the "GPS Garage Sale" forum here.

 

Please note that this unit only comes with a general base map. You'll need to purchase additional maps if you want topo (for off-trail hiking) or turn-by-turn navigation in your car.

Moving to correct forum.

That's about standard for an on-line site. Free shipping, though. NOBODY sells them at MSRP. It's a joke.

Don't forget to get an external antenna if you frequent tall trees and or narrow valleys.

For the antenna tigergps.com has them or ebay...

 

For the actual 60CSx newegg.com has them for $299 free ups or Amazon for $297 free shipping

 

Watch out for the super cheap google deals , than try and slip you a refurished one.

I frequent narrow gorges filled with tall trees and never lose lock with the built-in antenna, which I keep pointed at the sky. But my old 60CS (no 'x') would lose lock in those situations.

The 60CSx is unlikely to need one, except in extreme circumstances. The quad-helix antenna and SiRFIII high-sensitivity chip do quite well.

That's what I paid recently.

Now go buy it, get out and have fun!

Agreed - would need to be a fairly extreme circumstance to require an external.
