Good for you. That really is a nice unit. I have one of those, and the
patch antenna is a bit less sensitive than the 60csx. But, other than
that, it has all the features you will need. Very nice.
Get a good micro sd chip, and load in the topos for arizona. It should
have come with the base Garmin mapping software. Then just add maps as
needed.
