+pigpen4x4 Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 It's a great unit. I still have one, though I bought a PN-40 when I lost the 60 in the woods. (Found a month later) Some folks (myself included) have had compass problems, mine is corrected easily enough. PP4x4 Quote Link to comment

You can add to the notes, but be prepared to spend a while trying to add just one line of text... I don't use my 60 for the field notes though. I have my phone to do that with - much easier! Features.. It's just a work-horse of a GPS. I had one issue with the unit turning off when I touched any of the buttons, but was quickly fixed by upgrading the firmware of the unit. The Compass was mentioned, but I don't use it the compass while caching. Some do and love using it, but I never got use to using it... Edited June 28, 2009 by wkmccall Quote Link to comment
+Flo. Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 I've never had a problem with mine other than the compass. A friend of mine turned of something in it, I don't know what, and it has worked fine ever since. I LOVE IT!!!! Quote Link to comment
tigerfan27 Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 My 60csx only puts the paperless geocaches in the format of GCXXXX I was wondering if there was a way to change it and make it say the geocaches actual name. Any thoughts? Quote Link to comment
