Actually that brings up another gripe...Yes, using the NT8 maps, its fine..always stays on the road, but I constantly have the 'halo of variance'.
In Topo mode, it's on the road, off the road...sorta weird
even my tracks show up consistently in the same place, but they are always off road...even with road snap on...odd.
I can't tell if they each refer to info in the basemap for main highway routing or if either does...because with the basemap - its just as accurate as the NT8 maps. Was thinking maybe Topo uses something different for their road calculation? ..thankfully I don't really need topo for most navigation, I just wanted it to show me where there are fireroads and things not on the NT maps, and for having an intelligent way to associate trail data.

Yeah, looks like they are making more new units with it as the standard (C550, 2820, 476, etc.), and yes...it's really weird to be in the server room of my building and get any kind of signal at all. But with this kinda sig sensitivity...still makes me wonder why it cant get better then ~15ft accuracy when im driving or moving with it?
Either way, I'm in process of ordering up some other RAM stuff for the ZX and then...maybe I'll even put the 2720 on the block
aside from the little screen, the 60csx really does a kickass job .
And don't forget that the S only means Sensors, so the 60cx is ~50$ less, and just doesent have a real compass or barometric pressure sensor, not necessities unless your using it standing still alot.
there is also a 50$ rebate right now from Garmin on the 60 series
