I have the 76Cx (kissing cousin to the 60). Even with the SIRF chip
set, I have encountered situations where lock was lost while driving in
narrow valleys in British Columbia. With my Garmin GA 25MCX antenna
attached I have had no loss of lock and overall better accuracy since I
get full 360 degree sky view with the antenna on the roof of the car or
in a pocket in my hat.

One advantage to the built in car nav is they use accelerometers when
the satellite signal is not sufficient.
