The 60CSX uses the SiRF Star III chip set which is excellent in heavy tree cover, and canyon type situations. It is a couple years old, but still a fine performer.
I have it in a small puck with magnetic base from US Global Sat Model
BU-353 which is cheap in USB version at $55 plus shipping. I'm not happy with how the USB is handled. It is only a USB to serial translation and the driver causes lockup when coming out of hibernate mode. With my laptop and Topo USA from Delorme I can use Topo USA to keep a log of my track then display that later and even print it out. This of course requires a laptop and it being on all the time you are wanting tracking done. For a car/cruiser unit this is fine. Otherwise, forget it.
