roadchick 0 Posted February 2, 2012 I read through A LOT of the information on what people like and recommend, but it seems they are mostly $600 and up? I see the Montana and the Zumo mentioned,but am wondering if there is anything you would recommend under $350? If not, I will wait and purchase the more expensive ones recommended. Thanks in advance!

tlking6 0 Posted February 2, 2012 Pretty much everyone in the club runs with the Garmin 60 CS series. Every now and then you see them pop up somewhere for around $200. Quick Google search and I found one for $240 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Crawdaddy 96 Posted February 2, 2012 I always recommend the 76 series over the 60 series.....the 76 is bigger (only downside) but it has a more rugged case/better Ram mount, the antenna is built into the packaging, and it's 100% water proof.....the 60 will slip out of its Ram mount, the antenna sticks out asking to be snapped off (I've snapped two) and it's water resistent as opposed to water proof. Functions/software is the same in both units...... West Marine has periodic sales on the 76cx. Right now it's listed at $199: http://www.westmarine.com/buy/products/11957-gpsmap-76cx-handheld-gps-americas-basemap.html Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The screen looks smaller in the picture but it says its the same size. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

2Wheels 0 Posted February 7, 2012 I use an etrex legend h series. That's the blue one. They're under $150 and they work just as well as the more expensive ones. When you take a piece of equipment places where it might get destroyed, it's better if it didn't cost much in the first place. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
