Hi Tasrax,
Thanks for the info.
Had a quick look at the links.
Looks like there is a version 3 of Oz topo on the way.
At the moment I'm still using my little Geko, however my walking partner had just brought the 60CSx.
He hasn't brought maps yet. Still considering the options. I guess its pretty clear none of the electronic maps are going to substitute a good old topo map.
We did a little comparison on the weekend. The reception is definitely better on the 60CSx. Picks up more satellites, and with a stronger signal.
I guess we were on flat open terrain at the time. Have yet to compare the two up in the Blue Mts.
The 60CSx is pretty nice. But don't know that I am convinced on retiring little old Geko yet!
Still interested on everything people have to say.
Melinda
