Love mine.  They are not the latest and graetest out there so they have come down on price, but you shouldn't need anything better.  I hunt in deep Louisiana hardwood bottoms where you can't see 5 yards in front of you sometimes.  They track well and get you to and from where you are going.

It's my "go to" GPS unit and has worked perfectly in a lot of spots, from the Colorado high country to deep, dark, southern pine thickets that block the sky.  I'd buy another one in a heartbeat.

They are a very good GPS. They receive satellites really well. I tested mine in a forest with heavy canopy of trees and it had no problems. I bought mine used and it has a topo map that is pretty good. The digital compass is accurate...tested it against a "real" compass. If you can pick one up for under $200 I'd buy it.

Buy it.  You will not be dissappointed.  LIke I say there may be better, but its WAY MORE than you need.  They are right about the compass, it's a great backup.

My 60CSx has been one of the best pieces of gear I've ever had.  Really helps in the dark when you have a complicated path to your destination.  Nice coming out too.

Get it.  It's a great rig.  If I didn't get the Dakota 20 I'd of got the CSX.  The CSX has a better antenna.
