    I haven't seen them for the same price. I thought the 60CS was about $100 more. I just got a 60C and love it, but you need to get the City Select maps from Garmin to do autorouting. I think the main difference is that the 60CS has a magnetic compass and the 60C does not.

    So the CS, is like buying a more loaded version? Like a truck compared to roll up windows, to power windows? My bad, on GPS Discount, the C is $359 and the CS is $395 Thanks!

    The 60cs also has a barometric altimeter.

    Plus it does autorouting which the C doesn't and has the electronic compass which I like.

    Haffy you have me confused. Does the 60CS autoroute without the benefit of City Select? When I load the maps for the area I want I can select a waypoint and upon doing a "go to" it selects my choice of fastest route or shortest route. At each turn it beeps and indicates which way to turn. I also have TOPO USA and can load it with topo maps of the cache areas I am going to visit.

    Sorry Haffy -

    The Garmin GPSMap 60c DOES have autorouting capability, which I mentioned a couple of times in my comments about our trip to Quebec earlier this week.

    It does require Garmin's City Select software, but the autorouting is great. We used it a lot and it tool us right to the caches we looked for.

    Without City Select you can set it to autoroute, but there is so little data available that "you can't get there from here".

    It does have a problem with one-way streets, though!

    Ok I apologize for that mistake,it's the maps you need for autorouting better.

    Yah I know what your saying. When Mainaic1957 said he loved the autorouting on his 60cs I told him he was crazy and that It didn't auto route. I thought that mine was broke at that point because my 60c won't autoroute. I have topo usa for mine and topo does not autoroute. It shows the feature on the gps but it doesn't not work right. Anywhere you are it will just send you to the interstate no matter where you want to go. So it's all about the software. So if you want autorouting topo usa is not for you. If you want elevation more that auto routing such as I than topo is awesome.


    Good Luck
    Dave
