 Good but I miss my old GPS60CSx June 14, 2008
Christopher J. Rose (Chinnor UK)
7 out of 8 found this review helpful
Having lost my GPS60CSx in France earlier this year I decided on the Colorado as a replacement. I took this unit to Everest Base Camp and loaded it with the relevanty TOPO maps. I found that I needed several sets of batteries a day with each set lasting around three hours which meant that tracking was an expensive luxury. Also the unit would switch off for no reason. Whilst I like the large display it is dim unless you ramp up the backlight which drains the batteries. I was getting twenty hours plus out of my old 60CSx and I am condidering downgrading. br / br /My advice is to wait and see if they improve the performance before buying.
 Brilliant Colorado from Garmin - Serious users only though May 20, 2008

Update August 2008. br /Just returned from Scotland with this unit having added the Garmin software update as of 17th July. This is now a truely excellent unit. Well done Garmin. br / br /I bought this device to replace my garmin vista C which I have owned for 4 years and used for road travel and off road biking. If you are serious about geting out in the wilds this is a great unit of course you need to buy the TOPO mapping the base mapping with these units is always basic. I am just loadng the comlete UK TOPO onto the unit via an SD card. Great. br / br /This is a true GPS product NOT just plug and play in-car SatNav if you only need to know how to get to Tesco and back buy a cheaper alternative. If you want to do serious stuff then buy one of these and don't forget to read the manual. br / br /GREAT.................... br / br /P.S. br /There are a few teething problems but Garmin will sort these out over the next couple of months no doubt. If you buy leading edge technology you have to expect the odd hicup. br / br /BUY ONE TODAY and no I have no affilliation to Gamin whatsoever. br / br /UPDATE June 2008. br /As an update I have now had the unit a few weeks and it works great you do need to load the Garmin beta unit software from their website which works fine and solves all the power and various other problems mentioned in the other reveiws here, do this before you try to do anything else with the unit saves a lot of frustration. Also checkout the following link for loads of help and advice http://garmincolorado.wikispaces.com/Miscellaneous .It is different from the Vista C I had before and there are points you could argue are better or worse but it is always the same with any changes that are made to things that you have become accustom to. br / br / br /Rich
