Garmin 60CSx. I have the model without the X. The X denotes additional SD card slot for the maps rather than use of just the 64Mb internal memory. Its ruggedised comes with a car plinth, and I added a handlebar mount for my bikes. Colour display, maps extra. Ideal in the mountains too.

| I'm looking into buying a hand-held GPS, for hiking and MTB'ing. Basically I'm sick of making wrong turns and having vague ideas where I am, and it's a new toy 
The unit that seems to suit the level that I want is the Garmin eTrex Legend which I can source here in CH for about CHF260-
Firstly, does anyone have anything good or bad to say about this unit, or have alternate suggestions?
Secondly, more Swiss specific, is not having an altimeter in the mountains a real issue? (ie the positioning can give false readings due to varying altitude) Also, does forest cover impact greatly on the ability to get a satellite signal for this model? | |
