Hmmmm... I could get one of these for geocaching and then mount the 60csx on the ATV I just bought! LOL!Quote:

Not sure what Garmin is trying to do here. The Oregon will do all the things the 62 will and more, so what's the point? Is it cost?
Looks like a non-touch screen version to me...so you have a paperless way to cache with either a touch screen or non-touch screen. I'm looking at a Oregon 450 by this coming Friday. Might even find a cache with it as soon as I get it.
The 62 appears to have the look and feel of the 60csx. It's probably meant for old people like us who have trouble learning new things. LOL! ;);)Quote:

Now that I've seen the difference between my Magellan and my wife's Garmin, I'm going to plunk down the cash and get the Garmin....but I have an ulterior motive...my sister gets to use my Magellan until she decides if she wants to get into caching and drag her husband into it. If she buys a Garmin at that point or determines she doesn't wanna go play with Tupperware in the woods, I'll have to invest in the handlebar holder for the Magellan and mount it on my ATV for use as an off-road guide to get us there on the ATV trails....am I building enough of a case for a new ATV that's built for two right from the factory yet?Quote:

You had me at "ATV" . . . ;) :) . . . Ironically enough I bought my first Magellan expressly for my ATV after getting lost on the Sunrise Trail in downeast Maine . . .Quote:

Oh yeah . . . the factory-built 2-ups are pretty slick . . . but I'm saving my pennies for a new Honda . . . well that and a new Skidoo . . . and unfortunately either a very expensive repair to the 4Runner or a new cachemobile.
PLEASE don't go get the Oregon 450, because if you do that, I'll have to go get the Oregon 550t just to stay ahead of my little sister and her husband. Do you want to be responsible for starting a GPSr war???Quote:

What you have now is better than your little sister's. What I have has no bearing what so ever on what you have. We do not compete in anything. There is no reason to use me as the excuse you need to go buy a 550.Quote:

I think about the only improvement over the 400 is that I can have more caches and/or waypoints loaded. If I had purchased the 450T, you might have had a valid complaint that mine was better than yours. As it stands, I think we're just about equal.Quote:

Can you bring that to the Relay today. I'd like to see that! Am I getting a chance to ride in the orange jeep again this year? And what the heck were you doing up at 3:23 AM...talking to Eikodokai? See you this afternoon!:)
