Garmin GPSMap 60 Cx and GPSMap 60 CSx Rebates

Garmin has a rebate going on the popular GPSMap 60Cx and GPSMap 60CSx models, as they are moving out inventory at the end of the summer. These $50 rebates bring the prices down quite a bit. I think that the GPSMap units are top notch handhelds, that are excellent in a lot of situations, except where the small size of the eTrex line is needed.

I Reviewed the Garmin GPSMap 60CSx back in December, and really liked the unit. I thought that the receiver was very sensitive with the high sensitivity chipset, and the screen is a great size offering some luxurious maps to see where you are going. The GPSMap 60Cx has the ability to load maps onto a micro-SD card, and includes the high sensitivity receiver. The GPSMap 60CSx adds on a barometric altimeter and an electronic compass. For my money, the extra $20 bucks or so after rebate is worth it for the altimeter, its screens and the extra bit of information, especially if you are going to do any time in hills or mountains.
