Just get a 60 model Like many others, I bought the GPSMAP 64 because I lost my beloved 60Cx out in the woods. I looked over the Amazon reviews carefully, and I searched all over the Internet for more and more reviews. It seemed like maybe the hardcore fans of the 60 series were too harsh on the 64, and I just wasn’t sure if it was as bad as they say. Well, at the end of my first hike, after seeing the 64 take measurements in a wild and seemingly inexplicable manner, I decided on that basis alone I hated the 64…
The 60CSx was better After using, and loving, the Garmin GPSMAP 60CSx for years, I decided to “upgrade” to the GPSMAP 64st. Mainly, I wanted the much more finely detailed map of the US, but the built-in Bluetooth connectivity also seemed interesting and possibly useful. I also wanted the ability to save more tracks and longer tracks.
