Portable GPS Nav Unit
Another happy 60CSx owner. I've owned about 5 Garmins over the years. Absolutely love them. The 60CSx is waterproof and the new receiver is fantastic. Picks up under heavy tree cover with no issues. I installed a 2GB microSD card and already had the City Navigator for it. I also have Topo installed on the card and Topo24k East (National Parks higher rez topo). Switch back and forth between mapsets easily.
I use a Ram mount on the back of the aftermarket top center dash tray.
It also runs off 2AA so you can use it in the field longer with only a battery swap.

Magellan crossover is a combo hiking, driving, boating with mp3, picture storage, etc. I believe it is discontinued but you can find them on ebay. I've had one for about a year only used it for driving so far. I have played in the yard with the hiking one, but I'm not a serious hiker.
This is the setup I have...I've used it for hiking and on/off road and it's been perfect!

I like it but the receiver does not pick up the satelites very well. It takes a long time and drops quickly.
If you are on a trail doing alot of switchbacks it locks up.
I have done all the updates but still some of the cheaper and less featured work better.
I would go with a Garmin even there cheapest version picks up signal bettter.
Spend some time with the GPS and the software, get to know it and you will be amazed at what they can do. I love my PN40, It is so much better for off road adventures than my Garmin 60c or my Lowrance XOG,
