US New 60CSx in stock, $450. More coming later in May.
Within a couple of weeks I should have 20 more in stock. This will likely be the last lot – it depends how quickly they sell.
Price is $440 with the 1GB microSD card loaded with the free NZ Street maps, Points of Interest and the Open Project Topo map.
——————————————-
Update 29th March: The 15 mentioned below went to good homes however it’s probably not worth getting any more in as the price will be getting too close (within $100) of the replacement model, the 62s.
——————————————-
Update 15th February 2011: The 10 60CSx units mentioned below sold quite easily so there’s 15 more on the way – I should have them in 10 days or so.
I’ll update this when they arrive.
=========================
Last week I got in 10 of the 60CSx model (010-00422-00) which conveniently have a 1GB microSD card installed.
Price is $450 including GST and pre-loaded free and purchased maps (for example, the Open Project NZ Street Map, NZ Points of Interest and the topo contour overlay map, setup for NZ and batteries. There’s 8 in stock at present.
Prefer to do your own setup? Make it $425 for the unopened box. Pick-up always welcome by arrangement or Courier Post, Signature Required is $8.
The 60CSx was by far the most popular hand held during it’s 4.5 year run – even my little business supplied about 670 units. Now replaced by the 62s which is proving to be popular too of course.
The 60CSx has a superior track logging method, simply logging the points into one file called, for example, 20101225.gpx. At midnight the file is closed off and a new one is created, namely 20101226.gpx Too simple for Garmin to carry on with through to the 62/78 range…..
