I have a Garmin GPSMAP 60Cx and have used it for road trips, backpacks and for some training outings. I have not had a single problem with the GPS or the software. I have the Street Navigator software, the 1:100,000 Topo package and the newer 1:24,000 of the SW states. All have been very usable. I have had the unit for at least 3 years.

I also have a Nuvi 255W with a touch screen for the autos and have not used it yet. I can see advantages to an auto unit for the car however, I would not trade my Map60Cx for any other model. I choose it over the CSx because I see no need for the electronic compass and the battery life was a little better on the Cx. I do not like the new touchscreen handhelds at all and can see no advantage with them. I prefer the positive function of buttons that do not need a screen change to implement.

Maybe I am old school, I don't like iPhones either:)
