In a  previous life was a Navy Communications Technician (lot of
experience with  electromagnetic stuff).  I have used and owned two
different Garmins  and two different Magellans.  The Garmins were
superior in so far as  bells and whistles are concern and were unbeatable
in the open desert but  were not too hot at higher altitudes because
glitches were introduced into  math calculations as altitudes increased.
My first Garmin was an E-Map, the  last one was a 76CS.  Garmin's topo
map software is better, but harder  to use and set up.


After owning a Garmin GPS one and II then to a Magellan Sport Track Topo  and 
Platinum, the Garmin 60cs is amazing! Wouldn't trade it for  anything else on 
the market right now.Very dependable and accurate and a great  Geocaching 
tool just made for this sport.
