+boulter Posted May 28, 2004 Share Posted May 28, 2004 I have an etrex vista and I'm about to upgrade to a 60cs. I'm wondering if I'm going to have to rebuy my car mount and bike mount to accomidate the 60cs or is there a battery cover I can get that will allow it to use the same mounts as the etrex? These are the mounts I currently have: http://shop.garmin.com/accessory.jsp?sku=010%2D10267%2D00 http://shop.garmin.com/accessory.jsp?sku=010%2D10274%2D00 Thanks. Quote Link to comment

The part that attached to your handlebars (or whatever) will probably be the same. But the part that attaches to the unit will be different. The eTrex uses the battery cover as the mount attachment, and that's not going to be the same on a 60. Quote Link to comment
+Geo Leo Posted May 28, 2004 Share Posted May 28, 2004 The 60cs doesn't use the battery cover for the mont like the etrex line did. There is a piece that clips on the back of the unit from the notch in the bottom to the swivel. Once that piece is attached, it will fit into the same mounts as the etrex, so your existing mounts will work fine, you just need the piece that clips on the back. Quote Link to comment

Does it come with 60cs or do I just need to buy the cheapest mount I can find and throw away the mount part? Quote Link to comment
+Still Searching Posted May 30, 2004 Share Posted May 30, 2004 I also upgraded from the Etrex to the 60CS. I use the automotive mount as well as the hande bar mount. These will all work together as long as you have the back piece for the 60CS. What I would do with no other mounting systems needed is buy the handlebar mount as this is probablt the least expensive.
