I haven’t noticed any loss in performance compared to regular disposable alkaline batteries.Engage directly with our support team regarding issues and account questions. I know Garmin doesn’t recommend it, but I’ve been using rechargeable Nickel-Metal Hydride batteries for about the last 5 years. I can’t tell you how many times during a hike I’ve looked at the GPS specifically for elevation information. (I also keep a Suunto mirror compass on hand just in case.) However I would not recommend saving a few bucks and purchasing the Garmin 60CX that does not have the e-compass, it also does not have the barometric altimeter. When active, it cuts the battery life by a few hours and does not seem to be an effective compass for navigation. Only thing I don’t care for is the e-compass feature. I’ve abused mine on weeklong backpacking trips in the North Cascades and Wallowas, up and down St. It is a fine machine.Īs mentioned previously it stands up to some harsh conditions, and is easy to use. If you don't want to do that, you can't go wrong with the 60CSX. Remember, Delorme is the new kid on the block of GPS manufactures and is pushing on the popularity of the "tried and true" Garmin products. I suggest that you go to the Delorme Forum on their website and search around for "PN-40 vs 60CSX" and study a little before you buy anything.

No kidding, terrabites(?) of maps if you so chose! The GPSr comes with Delorme's TOPO software that, although sometimes a pain, is really quite useable and has capabilities that I will never use.

Be warned, REI is Garmin country.įor $30 per year you can subscribe to their map service and download all of the USGS, color aerial, black and white aerials, NOAAs of practically the whole world. Check with REI as far as local retail is concerned. Occasionally, a rebate or sale is offered. If I had it to do over again, I would go with the PN-30. I suggest that you look at the PN-40 if you want electronic compass and barometric altimeter, which the PN-30 does not have. It does have only half the battery life of the 60CSX, but a couple of AAs solves that. However, I use a Delorme PN-40 and its performance matches the 60CSX, sometimes worse sometimes better. I doubt if I spend $1/month on batteries. The cheap Costco Kirkland batteries last as long as the many times more expensive name brands. It takes two AA's or AA rechargables and gets 18 to 20 hours battery life - half that if you use the back light a lot but I hardly every need that. It still retains the same accuracy as when I bought it. I've dropped it countless times, dropped in in streams, frozen it, cooked it in the car and generally beat it up. I've used the 60CSX for four years and it has performed well. You might find slightly better deals on the net if you shop around. It's not cheap - about $300 +/- for the GPS, another $100 per state for the NG TOPO software and another $125 or so for the detailed maps to put into the GPS itself. (worst case, a couple hundred feet - usually no more than 20 or 25 feet.) (extra cost option) It's not perfect: Deep canyons, very tall trees - especially wet trees - cause the track to wander but not by much.

Maps are full color and available in either 1/100,000 or 1/24,000 scale. Waypoints can be entered in the field using a full keyboard interface in the unit's software. Downloading to computer takes only seconds as does uploading saved tracks if you want to follow a previous route. I think most would agree it's no contest with the Garmin 60CSx as the winner. I'm looking for a nice unit, preferably color maps, but more importantly, good signal, ability to track and connect to computer to download the track/elevation profile etc.Īny suggestions for both a GPS unit and software? I curretnly have a Garmin Rhino.I like it's features, but it routinly loses a signal in heavy forest (which are very abundant around here!)
