II was born without the gene that allows one to ask intelligent questions in stores so that one can learn and then make intelligent choices. I'm the guy who always buys something only to find out that the new version with the new software comes on the market the next day.

I've borne up under this handicap by learning to ask others what they would buy. That leads me to my question about the Garmin.

I need a GPS that I can use for both driving and backbacking, I need to be able to relate it's information to maps and I suspect that I would also get an external antenna if one was available. I see my use of a GPS as basic at best. I want to learn how they work but will probably use it only it get my butt out of a jam.

I saw on this forum that the Garmin 60 CSx seemed to be a good unit.

Can anybody recommend for or against it?

Thanks for your time.
