I meant to post this back in June, but time got away from me. I had loved my various Garmin Legend eTrex units, but did notice that when deep in the piney woods the signal would drop.
So I opted for the GPSmap 60Cx (same as the CSx but without the altimeter,etc). Aside from the fact that the display is about 50% larger than the Legend, it sports the new SiRFStarIII GPS chipset, which is super sensitive. Heck, I got great signal with it sitting on my desk inside the house! Packed it 20 miles into the Colorado Needle mountain area this summer and even deep in canyons totally covered by trees, it didn't hiccup once. And in 5 days I never had to change the batteries.
It even got submerged when crossing a stream, and I landed on it and rode it down when slipping down a scree rock area. Go Garmin!
