As in, I know nothing about them really. And the fetching Mrs. Morgan got me a Garmin Nuvi 350 for Christmas for pities sake! Not quite the right unit, but geez she really went out of her way to do it. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Here's the problem: the guys at Car Toys took her for a ride on the price and choice of unit IMHO. Not drastically, but she paid more than she could have. It's great for automotive use, not great for my uses. I need:
-Topo ability
-4x4 use more than street navigation
-motorcycle use, including more dirt bike orientation
-handheld use, such as for hiking and hunting.

From what I have gathered, guys in my uses tend to like the 60CSx (like a 60CS, but with compass and altimeter that work when standing still), or 76CSx (not sure of the differences), or the 276C which has a larger screen (good for aging eyes) and is kinda like the GPSIII-IV-V). No idea on 276C use in hiking though.

Anyone able to give advice here? Ideally somebody local who is keenly interested in mentoring a newbie in exchange for, say, 1554 ale? HMMMM???? <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/drunk.gif" alt="" />

BTW, I need to decide fairly soon as they have a 5-day return policy. Yech! After that it's store credit and I am locked into Car Toys.
