I've been looking at the Garmin 60CSx handheld for some time but still haven't pulled the trigger.

I was not planning on the etrex vista model.  But when I was at Cabelas I asked the guy what was on sale, and the vista ended up to be the same price as the one I was going to get.  And I got a map package with it.

I have had a few Garmin GPS units.  All have worked great for me.  Currently I have my old Quest in my wife's Av and I have a c580 in mine.

I will most likely upgrade both in the next couple of years as the Quest is getting old and I don't feel like paying for the map upgrades for it and the c580 will not be able to do the Traffic, etc updates after 2012 due to MS cancelling the MSNDirect service then.

Not sure what I'll upgrade to, but we'll see what's available then.

Got the Garmin Nuvi 285wt for Christmas from the kids.  Used it for the hour-long drive to the sister-in-law's Christmas day.  Seems to be a pretty good unit.  I'll likely use it mostly for finding places to eat dinner during work trips.

18x10 Forged Weld Wheels, BFG g-Force KDWs, JBA shorties, custom catback with FM70, Crane plug wires, Trailblazer Torque Converter, bigger cam, efans, HP Tuners custom tune, WAAG stuff, mildly boosted with Vortech Supercharger.......

I have used the NAV system that came in my Av and it sucks compared to my Nuvi.  It looks all fancy and has a big display, but the navigation portion leaves a lot to be desired.  My wife thought she was getting the Nuvi for the Jag when I got this thing, but I don't see that happening.   :thumbdown:

I have a Garmin 255W in the 2002 avalanche and when I get one for the 2009, it will be the 265W.
We still have our 2002 Avalanche as well....
