I have 3 different garmins and prefer the 60csx due to its chipset and ability to work in dense coverage. Your choice should work fine.
you might want to look at a program called expertgps just google it. It is an excellent track, waypoint manager that allows you to download topo maps and ariel maps. You can time cooridinate your digetal camera with the gps and it will place photos at the points you took photos. It also allows you the ability to view your work on google earth.you can download a 30 day trial. The print map features are great after you have been scouting.
As soon as you get the gps start playing with it in your neighborhood. become very familiar with features and what it can and can not do. I always carry a compass, extra set of batteries and a topo of the area I am going to. BE Safe There are wild stories of gps users getting lost in the wilds.

Yes that is a good price. The GPSonsale site has the same unit for the same price it looks like. Another good way to learn to use your GPS unit is called GeoCaching. Look up the website to see what it is all about. Etrex Vista.

Interesting. In my own experience, I am moving down in draw weight. My latest bow is a Widow PSR that is 48@28. I use to make fun of guys shooting under 50# (in a nice way). I am capable of shooting much heavier but I have found great control shooting around 50.

In my opinion Magellan is more user friendly than Garmin. I have had 4 GPS units, 2 Magellan's and one Garmin. The Magellan is easier to use the menu's as the menu for the screen you are on comes up before the main menu. Garmin on the other hand has to be prompted twice and then you get only to the same main menu each time and have to navigate from there. . Garmin seems to have a better antennae system and gets better reception.

Garmin GPS 76 for about $179. If you get a garmin, you can download free software designed by Minnesota DNR that will allow you to download waypoints and tracks to Google Earth.

I just bought the 60cx- couldn't be happier. My old eagle explored was acting up and I was sick of it. Downloading the topo here within the week. Can't wait to get out in the sticks with it- been using it while working, just getting used to it.
