So Im currently using a Garmin 2720 on my KLR with a Touratech mount. While I like it and all - it's not really the best gps for plotting trail maps and working with topo's on
.
I am considering getting a 60CSx or a 276c (or 376?) to put on it instead. A friend has the 276c and it works the shizzle, but for some reason I really like the 60CSx and even the 'revamped model' with the SiRF chipset in it is still pretty reasonable costwise. Considering when off-road in this area it's pretty much always on a cliff face or thick deciduous brush - the high sensitivity would be pretty handy.
I know GFJ has a 60 series, but was wondering if he or anyone else had pics of the rig on their machine? and if so, what sort of mounts do you use? how do you have it wired up? is it easy to 'swap' between topo and street maps? is it possible to use POI info with the topo's? these are things I cannot tell from the garmin website so any info would be appreciated. Also is the screen big enough for 'quick acquisition' while at speed or is it mainly for plotting where you have been post-facto? I know the 276 screen is the perfect size for that, but I'm just thinking something a little smaller on the dash would go better?
Of and if anyone here has either for sale in good working condition, ping me
