>>350448$300 buys a pretty kickass receiver and CityNavigator mapset.
I'm not a big fan of the new op system on Garmin's latest products. Overcomplicated basic GPS functions and added a bunch of features that aren't necessary. I just want it to be solid and reliable, the new ones don't fit that for me.
The 60 and 76 lines are popular, and they'll take the latest maps Garmin releases. I wouldn't go less than the Cx, and the "S"ensor package may or may not be worth it to you. I found them to be more trouble than they're worth.
I mainly use mine as a track logger. It's on and recording while I'm riding, may use it to confirm where I am or find food/fuel nearby. At the end of the day, I download the tracks to the computer and keep them organized with my photos.
It's come in real handy a few times, being able to download tracks from the day's ride into Google Earth, add a few more tracks/waypoints, and push that back into the GPS to follow the next day.
