New GPS Units from Garmin

Garmin recently announced two new GPS receivers, the GPSMap 60C and 60CS.

Improvements over previous units include color, a USB interface (instead of serial), a special “Geocaching mode” and 56MB of memory. They’ll be about $400+ though.

I’m skeptical that the Geocaching mode would be able to match a my eTrex Vista + CacheMate, but it looks interesting. Color is nice though and USB sure would help make downloads of maps faster. I would rather have bluetooth instead so I don’t have to bother with all these cables and a media card slot would also be handy for keeping lots of data on there.

Damn, my 2004 Christmas list is quickly taking shape!

  1. I’m using a Garmin Dezl in the UK & Europe and ‘am having problems converting coordinates to enter into the Dezl! Any suggestions please? Garmin formats do not seem to match formats used by caravanning charts in this country. Any advice/solution warmly welcomed!
