Garmin GPSMAP 60Cx and 60CSx on sale at Amazon for $170 and $200!

Too good a deal to pass up. I bought the 60CSx 3 or 4 years ago when it first came out, and payed somewhere around $500. I was glad to do it as, in my opinion, this unit is king of the rugged handheld GPS hill. I carry mine any time I hike or take the Raptor off road.

The 60Cx is identical to the 60CSx, just minus a magnetic compass and barometric altimeter. I've never used the altimeter, but I like having a magnetic compass because I geocache with my 60CSx and its helpful to have a bearing when not moving. But if you don't need to know what direction your facing when standing still, go with the 60Cx and save yourself the $30 (it has a compass, but its a calculation based on GPS measurements, meaning you need to take a few steps to get an accurate reading)

Give either of these a strong look if you've been considering a GPS unit.

John, I concur. Those are awesome models. Ugg, like you I bought them when they came out, the 60CSx and paid $499. Damn that's an awesome deal. I know they have that fancy new touchscreen one now, but in my opinion, this is just as functional a model for probably half the price.
