Comparison between Garmin GPSMAP 60CSx and 62s

I never owned a 60csx, but I did replace my Delorme PN-40 with a 62s and couldn't be happier. I've had great luck using PowerEx rechargeable batteries in it. But if you plan to hard wire it to the bikes power, go with the 78s.

Here's a couple of comparisons:

Garmin 60CSX GPS: The Best Tricks

The garmin 62/78 will hold 10,000 trackpoints per track. That alone is worth the extra money in my opinion, 500 points doesn't give you enough resolution for longer trails.

To sum it up, 62/78 hold 200 tracks of 2,000 points each vs 20 tracks of 500 ponts each for the 60/76. The 62 does not have 12V power input (deal breaker), the 60/76 & 78 all do.

If track storage is one of your needs, then the 78 at twice the $150 price for a 76Cx is what you need.
