The GPSMAP60 is a new GPS from Garmin. The key attribute for me was the USB port and the 24mb of memory - after developing maps and testing with a Legend it is a real luxury to upload 8mb of maps in 20 seconds...

The Legend was my first GPS. The key attractions being the size, mapping capability, and cost. I’ve travelled for work a couple of times and got lost in new cities, so decided a mapping GPS was the answer. I’ve used it to do an occasional cache, but mostly for road navigation. It did great service on my South Island road trip earlier this year. I found it a real asset to be able to determine how far to the next town… which direction is the glacier… all that helped make the road trip pleasant.
