Is this the (almost) ideal GPS for Australia? - Page 3

Had my 60CSx for nearly a year now, and used a mates for a year prior.

Folks seem to want larger touch screens, fair call and I understand why, and I thought I needed a larger screen too. I really did think I needed a larger screen, ageing eyes and all. But after using the 60CSx it is bullshit. The smaller screen is just fine, no problems for me, and because it is not a touch screen it won't delaminate on me either.
The 60 series does those nifty 3D displays, autoroutes (with autorouting software like any other GPS) and has basically all the functions of the other units as far as GPS goes, and maybe more.
The unit however doesn't do bluetooth, photos,. mp3's, or any of that other bling stuff, which I suspect is part of the reason it is such a damn fine GPS. They are more of a technical unit than the consumer grade ones, but in my limited experience it does everything you'd ever want of a GPS, and the little buggers are TOUGH. Size is perfect for a bike too, and it will just drop into your pocket when not in use.
There's a good reason why lots of riders skip the "bike" GPS's and get the 60CSx.
