eBay is a hit/miss thing anyway when it comes to getting deals. Bidding early on a newer item is almost always not going to last, so you focus on the last hour or so, or employ the services of an auction sniper (a service that submits a bid for you within the last few seconds of an auction for a small fee). Something like the 60C you'd be better off going to either a retail store or online one such as gpsnow.com.

I tried the bidding thing but it got high fast. And I had found the one on Amazon.com. The base set of maps that comes with the unit is not all that detailed. I have the Garmin mapping software, MapeSource Roads & Recreation and TOPO, and down load that and I have much better details. The down side is that they have not updated the road info in a while. So my street is not on it. So that is why I am looking about. I want to do the AZT and someone create one that you need the national geographic topo software to use it. That I did buy on ebay and saved $20. They want $99 + tax in the store and I got it for $79 and $8 for shipping. Microsoft puts out Streets and Trips for only$25 or so. I have got to play with it a bit. Robert & Linda Smith To: listserv@azgeocaching.com Sent by: cc: az-geocaching-bounces@listserv.azgeocaching. Subject: Re: [Az-Geocaching] RTW com Wednesday February 9, 2005 04:34 PM Please respond to listserv Barry, Thanks for your input.. I did find a 60C on Ebay with a low starting bid. I sent in a bid and got the unit at a lower price than my high bid. $346.99 to be exact, then added $8.00 shipping and $5.00 for insurance. At least it was a little better than the MSRP at our local outlets.. I don't know, yet, if I will need mapping software. I want to use it for Geocaching only for the time being. Will have to see how it goes.. Bob Smith, Team Petite Elite barry.neely@prudential.com wrote: >Not sure if you were looking for my input on the 60CS or not. But I got it >via Amazon.com.
