Howdy,

After years of putting off a GPS purchase, I've decided to hop into the 21st 
century.  It appears the the newly redone 76CSX and 60SCX are using the new 
SIRF chipset and perform equally well. I will be using it for both paddling 
and hiking. Given the curent rebate on the 60, they cost about the same.

The 60CXS smaller and so seems more "hand friendly", but sinks, but will be 
in a dry bag that will float....
The 76CXS is a bigger (floats) so feels clunky, but evdently has boater 
oriented features. Are they useful to kayakers or just powerboaters?

Any feedback would be helpful.

Thanks,

Mike
