Looking to buy a GPS

In my opinion, and apparently the opinion of many others the Garmin 60Cx series was the epitome of perfect design and performance.

Ya thats fine.  I get it.  But 650 does waaaay more stuff and 499$  Why is it better?  I havent used it so I dont get what is better?

Extremely rugged, extremely sensitive and accurate, extremely well designed functionality. I have 650 Rinos and 62s, and yes they do more but in a pinch I would choose a 60x if I had to have only one.

In case you didn't catch the drift.  GARMIN is the only way to go.  Watch ebay and c list.  You will find a color unit on sale in your range.  Any of them will do more than you could ever imagine.  Enjoy.

Thanks bob.  Its hard to imagine more rugged and sensitive then rino but awesome it is.  I do wish my 655 had a few basic buttons with touchscreen.

The 600 series Rinos are good units and rugged. They are a bit heavy but they are two devices.

For that amount, try searching for the 60C series.  I have one and it's performing well.

If I had my GPS, me and my friends wouldn't have circling around all night in the cold forest.  We knew where we were at, but just couldn't get to the truck.

  Thats what I was going to respond with. Find a used 60CSX. One of the best GPS's out there IMHO.

The 60CSX is a great model. Unfortunately, if you find one it will probably be selling for more than you paid for yours. Amazon sells new ones for $639. If you find a used one under $300 you'd better grab it.

  Holy cow!!! Glad I have one. Paid $230.00 for mine 3 years ago. From what I understand these are not made anymore and the 62 series replaced the 60 series. Am I wrong? Are these left over new ones? I can't believe how much those are now. Sure says something about the quality. I love mine. Batteries last forever and it works awesome.

The only difference between the 60cs and 60csx is the latter has an electronic compass. (I think thats the only difference) If you don't need that option maybe the 60cs can be found cheaper.

Glad I had the CSX.  Maybe I should make some profit off of it.  :-)

Had my 60csx for a while and love it.  Hard to believe they're $600 now - is Pelosi trying to ban these too?

Pretty sure if I hadn't had a GPS to follow the way back trail in the dark when I had my stroke in 2007 while solo elk hunting, I'd have been coyote poop.
