I have 1 62s left, $450 delivered

No maps, but there are options

I have the 76csx cause it floats (kayaking), and I have the free opensource off road map sets. I'd go garmin because of the opensource maps, 4+ years old seems solid.

I just managed to sell the wifey on getting a Rino 650. Not really sure how I managed that - "its safety gear" and "it should work over in Aussie" might have swayed the vote. Who else has one of these? what do you think of it now you've had it a while?

The Oregon series will as they are the old fashioned type of touch screen that you actually have to press. Water doesn't effect them. If you are used to whizzing around a iphone or android phone then going back to the old style screens is a bit of a shock.
