WTB gpsmap 60csx (cx)

[+MusicalSleep]

I'm starting to become an avid geocacher, and i understand the 60csx isn't paperless but i have something for that. And my friend's garmin is something I warmed up to but he wouldn't part with it if his life depended on it. 11 founds and havent used a gps yet. I'm 16 and really want this to become a long term fun hobby.

You might want to consider the 76CSx also. It is the same GPS in a different shape, plus it floats.

I hate asking these questions, but what do you mean by floats?

I just ordered a 76CSX from thegpsstore.com for $259.95 + $4.95 shipping.

is the 76 paperless? i may want to consider this one, im looking for something a hair cheaper though, and I don't want to trust ebay.

No.

Go to this Garmin web site where you can select the features you want and compare the various models.

The 76 seems to be the better option at the moment.

 

I'm looking for something with the following:

 

_+10 battery life

_Uses Batteries

_Compass

_Preferably External Antenna

_ USB / SD input for info

 

And the rough price im willing to pay for would be around $200-$250

any suggestions?

With the high sensitivity receiver in my 76CSx I have never needed the external antenna I purchased for my last generation 76CS.

I'm selling my 60CSx, which I've used once, for only $250 with the box and everything that came in it. Let me know if you're interested!

I have a brand new delorme pn-40 for sale with extras (car charger, wall charger, rechargable battery, etc). I am asking $275. Email me if interested trahan@metrocast.net.

I have a 60CSX and it is paperless on geocaching.com. You just have to install the Garmin Communicator and let geocahing.com recognize it. It is way cool and sends caches to the 60 CSX effortlessly...

The CSX is not a paperless GPS. It does not hold the hint's, the last 5 logs, the "full" cache description, nor enable you to post field notes. The CSX can, via POI, have some of this info added to it but it is not a true paperless GPS.

 

I also own one and utilize a PDA or my iPhone to store the cache information.

I believe im just going to go with the Dakota 20, now that i made some more money because of a huge pick-up at work, the dakota is more what i want so i figured i'd save for it

A local WalMart has the 60CX as a Rollback at $228 (with USB cable)

 

I have been using a eTrex Legend for 3 years, so I jumped at the chance and now I'm very happy!
