I would recommend both Topo and city select for your 60CSx. You can download 
to your GPS both Too and city streets and then switch back and forth to 
whatever one you want to use, whether you are urban caching and want city 
streets or if you are out in the boonies and want topo maps. Brian-Team AI 
actually figured out how to toggle between the two and showed me how to do 
it. The 60 series has plenty of internal memory to allow you to download 
both for a very wide area. With the X series, you also have the memory card, 
which gives you practically unlimited memory.

If you can only afford one, and assuming you mostly cache out of town a bit, 
I would recommend Topo. Topo maps do show city streets, but alot of the 
newer developments and such arent on those topos. If you are driving in 
older areas of the valley, all the streets are on the topo maps. The 
residential streets that do appear on topo are not named however.

There is also Road and Rec.. which I think is kind of a combination of the 
two. But not sure how detailed that is either way (city or boonies) as I 
havent really used R and R in a long time.
