>>963990>color displaysYes.
If you plan on adding any maps to the unit, you'll want one with color.
Grayscale and maps, whether it's citynav, topo, or the marine maps... adds more stuff than grayscale can really display.
It'll work, but it's much easier with color.
The LCD itself isn't a big power draw - keeping the micro running and doing all the floating-point ops every second from 12 satellites, calculating time differences, ephemeris data, datum corrections, etc is where most of your battery goes in normal operation. LCD backlight will also kill the batteries a lot faster if that's on.
Otherwise it's not a significant difference.
>>964777>tripsI had a GPS12. Main reason I upgraded to the 60CSx was the track log memory and USB interface. I could fill the 12's track log in about half a day, where the 60/76's I've been riding with since can go for weeks without losing/overwriting data.
Nice to plug in and download data, i keep those tracks/wpts with my photos from the day.
