It is definitely the most accurate. I'd be remiss if I didn't mention the DeLorme PN-40 though (http://gpstracklog.com/2009/02/delorme-earthmate-pn-40-review.html). The advantage is the ability to display raster imagery like aerial photos and USGS topo quads. The disadvantage is the learning curve for the complex software. If you go with the Garmin, there are free maps at http://gpsfiledepot.com. This tutorial may help... http://www.gpsfiledepot.com/tutorials/how-to-load-maps-on-my-garmin-gps-unit/ However, Garmin has this 24K map that includes highway routing data. Add a mount and charger to the 60CSx and you'll get turn-by-turn routing for those collecting expeditions! https://buy.garmin.com/shop/shop.do?cID=255&pID=27610 Feel free to follow up with more questions.

We have $600 to spend, so I think Trimble is out for us. We don't need submeter accuracy, but it would be nice to have accuracy within 30 feet. I would appreciate map software suggestions. I hope to make a purchase this coming week. Cheers, Holly Hi Rich,
