I recently upgraded to a
Garmin GPSMap 60Cx. I haven't used it very much except for short walks, but we are spending this coming week at Rocky Mountain National Park (I'm posting from our cabin, in fact, in Estes Park, CO) so we'll be able to provide a good review of it upon our return. I've got it all preprogrammed with various waypoints for trailheads, our lodging, etc.
Justin and I are huge Garmin fans, owning something like 6 or 7 units due to the specialized nature of each -- we own two different Garmin units for auto use, one of which is primarily an aviation GPS which Justin uses but it doubles as a good auto navigation unit; we own various small Garmin units for bicycling (Justin's has the heart rate monitor; I have an original Forerunner and one of the newer ones, sans heart rate monitor); we have two Rino's around here somewhere (they have built-in Family Radio Frequency for walkie talkie use, and can transmit their coordinates to fellow Rino users.)
I used to own a Garmin GPSMap 76S and loved it, but had always planned to use it for cycling because I didn't like the form factor for hiking. When we got into cycling, I realized it was too cumbersome to mount on my handlebars, so I sold it for a nice sum on eBay and bought the GPSMap 60Cx. I also owned an original Garmin Streetpilot, and upgraded about a year or more ago to the color touchscreen Streetpilot (Streetpilot 2720) with text-to-speech capability. I love it, and still use it even though my new vehicle has a built-in GPS navigation system (sub-par compared to what Garmin offers; I only got it because it was a requirement to get the hybrid-specific energy management -- read: geeky info -- stuff like how the power's being distributed and my real-time miles per gallon.)
Garmin, all the way! And yes, we are stockholders. We love the products and rely on them, so buying some stock was a natural choice.
