I thought about upgrading to something newer like a Zumo, but I've heard stories about inaccuracy on navigation trail rides etc. YMMV.

I haven't had any problems using the buttons with gloves or other wise. Screen isn't the biggest, but big enough if you remove all the stats from it. Most of the time the road/track is right ahead and all you have to do is follow the road. You have to turn at intersections and things where a quick look is enough. No different from checking your speedo. I don't ride alone a lot, so tend to stop at changes in directions.

I'm finding it more a thing of where to mount it so you can see it when standing up and sitting down. Colebatch has his zumo right at the top of the screen which is a good place.

The Csx has about the best most sensitive receiver in the business, and it's cheap. It's not the fastest with panning though. But no GPS will ever replace a paper map. Screen compared to a Nuvi or Zumo 550 is about 60% the size, but it's outdated (resolution) so won't do as much. It's bulletproof though (designed as a handheld), where as the newer models aren't always.

Map loading is very easy for any garmin GPS. I definately like being able to carry it around easily and use AA batteries. Some people think you're using an old mobile phone. Others think it's a sat phone.
