[GeoStL] Re: CSx60 vs Cx60 vs CSx76

Mike,

I don't have any of those units, but here's my opinion.

I have the legend B&W and a LegendCx, both having "non electronic" compass. 
I have no problem with it and don't have to calibrate often like some of the 
owners seem to need to do. I know whenever the batteries are changed, it 
MUST be recalibrated. But, it can be tuned off too and then works like the 
non "s" units. If I were going to buy one, it would be the 60Cx, unless 
there were just a few dollars difference.

As far as the 76, it has the same sirf chip but a slightly larger screen and 
case, and the button layout is a little different. The antenna does not 
stick out of the top of the case either. It also seems to have a more 
metallic case than the rubberized 60 series. I know LeRoy has one and really 
likes it.

Rich
