Toss in a few topo maps to just the destination state, say Yosemite and the
Sierra in my case, and you'll get to your 100 Mb pretty quick.

I'm waiting for a Vista C with more memory. Looking over the manual, it
looks like it's pretty much the same firmware as the 76 and 60 CS. I have
the 76CS right now, and the only thing I don't like about it is the extra 2
ounces of weight(whine..) and the extra size over a Vista. No big deal.
The extra memory is nice.

Does the 60CS have a port for an external antenna? The 76CS does...
