Recently I've really been thinking about buying a GPS. I have little firsthand experience with them and I'm not really sure what features to look for and which features really make a difference.
I was browsing www.gpsnow.com which Robinhood posted in another thread here, but that is Garmin only. Is Garmin generally the best brand?
I'm looking for a handheld unit. The 2 bestselling handhelds on gpsnow are the Vista Cx and the 60CSx. The main differences between the two that I can see (other than $100+) are screen size, 'standard reciever' vs. SiRF reciever, battery life, and connections. The Vista has USB only... though that doesn't really matter to me... What's the need for a serial port anymore? Is this a different serial port than the oldschool ones?
So I guess my main question is about the 'standard reciever' and SiRF? Is the SiRF worth an extra $110?
Any other brand suggestions/websites to look at?
Thanks!
