Bass Pro has the unit only, for $199.  I just saw it in Bossier City this afternoon.

Evidently Garmin put on a special with these prices.


Glad I squeezed the trigger yesterday with Cabelas and got the bundle for the sale price.

Mine was shipped on the 28th. For once I wasn't a day late and a dollar short.

I missed the deal Oxnam...and misquoted the damn price too. Must have cooked my brain fishing and mountain biking on Memorial Day weekend, when I desperately needed one of these. I rode off of my buddy's 1000 heavily wooded and hilly acres accidentally in East Texas and turned a casual bike ride on the trails around his lake into a Bear Grylls close call. 100F Texas heat and not enough water, plus deep sand stopped me cold and I had to push my bike up just about every hill. I kept finding new trails to ride down as I tried to circle back to the main jeep trails criss-crossing his property. Turns out the "roads" in Summer look a lot different than in Winter and ferns had overgrown much of what had seen out there during deer season. Plus I crossed a down fence and was headed to Tyler had I not stopped!  I had no GPS signal on my iPhone and was not thinking clearly enough to just use it's compass. I overheated and things were a bit fuzzy. I finally soaked my riding shirt in the last of my water and wrapped my head like a turban, which did the trick to cool me down, and found my way back after some miles of backtracking.

Now, for some reason, I want a Garmin 60csx when I go out.

I got a used one a few years ago for $225...$199 is a great deal. The one thing I got as a bonus was the previous guys waypoints for his fishing "hot spots" and the boat ramps, etc....in N. Carolina!!! I guess I could have saved them and made a trip some day....haha

Thanks
Try this site..the maps are free and better than Garmins.

This has Az. on it.

Looks like the 62 Series and touchscreens are coming out soon, and will be bad to the bone.

Gonna wait until the 60 series goes back down in price, although Amazon has them for $250.

Got one from REI and it just arrived.  

Thanks to Hoyt for the map site reference. See that they have a transparent CO land ownership map. Been looking for something like that. Now I have the GPS unit to utilize it. Can't be too careful concerning property lines and avoiding trespassing, especially in CO.

I won't bother upgrading to a touchscreen as I'd hate taking my gloves off in cold weather to use it. (Already do with my iphone).

My fatherinlaw has an eTrex and we messed with it last week a bit, seems pretty easy to use once it grabs satellites. Display fairly dismal, but nice small unit that will get you home safely. I'd think the 60csx is light years better?

I hear that! That's why I went with this one instead of the new touch screen! Seems that it would be a pain in the butt to use while in the cold weather!
