Thanks for responding. This is my first GPS and I am still kind of in the dark even after spending too much time on many, many GPS sites.

How do you like the 60csx so far? Mine got a fix on 5 satellites from inside my apartment. Is the Topo 2008 working for you? Have you done any cross country/off-trail travel with it so far?

Could you create waypoints and routes on USGS 24K scale maps on the PC and transfer that info to the Garmin topo GPS 24K maps?

Thanks for your time and welcome to the site. hafdome
