Garmin tough choice

[Traveler]

You must be getting bored with all the GPS questions....

I cannot decide between the 60CSx and the 500 to supplement my 200W when not in town.

I use to have a GPS IV from Garmin and loved being able to map the exact route before I left for a destination. However the memory capacity was an issue.

60CSx - Screen imo is to small, otherwise nice. Also enterng suff on screen become's a problem.

Would look rather for a 760 / 710 if you can find or 276c

[Traveler]

Screen on both the 500 and 60 are both on the small size do agree with that.

500 not bad but still prefer the 710 / 760

I notice both the 710 and 760 are discontinued....

They are indeed discontinued and we sold the last one remaining in stock just two weeks ago.

I have a 276C, 710 as well as a 500 that I use regularly. Bare in mind that the 60Csx is ideal for hiking while the 500 is designed for motor vehicles. The 60Csx package does not include a car mount, this is available as an accessory. I would suggest a Nuvi 500, should work well for you and you are already accustomed to the way in which a Nuvi works. The 500 is also waterproof and features a replaceable battery - the Nuvi 2xx - 7xx series do not.

Thanks F_D, then it will be a 500. My brother is all to keen to take the 200W.

What about a Zumo 660? I swap mine between the bike and the Lux.
Waterproof, big screen, replaceable battery, enough memory...

If money isn't an issue, check it out.

Greg, I already have the 500, and I am very happy.

Apart from the big screen it has all those features as well.

Thanks for the input.

helped a guy just last week with a similar issue, went with the Nuvi500, nice & compact, works well. That said, played with a 276 on the weekend and well, I don't know why Garmin killed it.

Doug, I would have loved to have bought a 276.

I am however liking my little 500 more each time that I use it. Glad that I bought it.
