A little advice please on whether I should get the Vista or GPSMAP60cs for
hiking.
Considerations are:
Sensitivity under tree cover, Ease of one handed use, ability to load
contour maps and navigate around them easily on the small screen,
connectivity with pc software.

Help appreciated.
Regards,
John Dekker.
