I have a Lorence H2O GPS prior to the purchase of the Garmin GPSMAP 60c . I have nothing negative to say about that unit and will keep it as a additional or second unit . it be a fine unit for the money . the Garmin 60CX be a big step up if you care to spend the extra cash and you get a lot for that extra . turn-by-turn , color , twice the battery life , and that sweet SurFer board -lrb- or however its call -rrb- that perform in area where I use to have a error rate in the hundred and now in the ten . my first unit need to be by the car window to get a lock . this Garmin do not seem to care where it sit in the car . the City Navigator software be a bit pricy to get functional street detail , but give the turn-by-turn function of the unit , I also have no problem buy it so the unit reach full potential . if you want a solid unit , there be other out there that do fine . if you want the best you can get in a hand hold , check this one out .
