I use a Garmin Oregon 400t often for Geocaching and have been very pleased with it's performance but it's slightly out of your price range. I would also recomend the Dakota 20 for your uses but it's slightly out of your price range also. I mention these because now that I've used a touch-screen GPS I'll never go back to one without it. I was a long-time Magellan GPS user until I tried my first Garmin touch-screen then I was hooked.

I don't have any experience with the 60CSx but it is a very highly rated unit. I would definitely pick it out of the 3 units you listed. Free topo maps can be found online for these Garmin units at gpsfiledepot.com or many other places.

I'd avoid the Bushnell units - they are LARGE and don't have the support the Garmin or Delorme units have. I hear that the Delorme PN-40 works great with sat image maps, etc., but the screen is smaller than the Garmins.

Good luck with your search.
