I see the Quest has an external antenna option too, so even though it's
not Sirf-III, you can still get great reception by using an external

Thanks all. This leaves me with the following contenders:

* Garmin Quest/2
* Garmin GPSMAP 60CSX
* Magellan CrossoverGPS

I've just downloaded all 3 owners manuals. When I can
find a couple of quiet hours I'll peruse those to get
a better idea of what each device can and cannot do.
Then a trip to a store or two to see what they really
look and feel like. Then pricegrabber et al to find the
best deal ;-)


Keep in mind that the 60Cx does not include the detailed street maps, a big
enough memory card, or a car mount. These options will add quite a bit to
the price. You shouldn't need to buy anything extra for the Quests. Not
sure about the Magellan.
