Exclamation Zumo vs 60 Csx

I had a 60 Csx until last september.
Somebody stolen it from the handle on my motorbike, on the ferry of Lake Koman.

I found the screen of 60 Csx a bit small.

Now need to decide buying a new GPS.

60 Csx or Zumo?

Want to use the GPS both at motorcycling and car use.

Can anyone comment to decide easier.

Have a look at the Nuvi 550 .
It has similar features to the Zumo but it is cheaper because it does not have Bluetooth or radio .

hi sami,

hope you are ok. zumo has better screen for car and bike i guess. however, 60csx is better if you want to use it while you are walking. i have 60csx and i am very very happy with it in car, on motorbike and while walking. also 60csx has some other positive points comparing to zumo. if i were you i would buy a 60csx for bike use and a cheap big screen ones for car use. in turkiye there are some cheap options like piranha, next and next star, etc...

Please note that the Zumo seems to have problems with topographic maps. You might consider the Oregon 450 or 550. Have a look here for detailed information and comparisons between the 60CSX and Oregon: Garmin Oregon Wiki - home

60 is an excellent gps and very tough, but if youre only using it for vehicles the zumo is better to use i think. not for hiking though. it is also surprisingly heavy.
can also be used as an mp3 player, and to store photos on. get screen protectors, i scratched mine with a tiny bit of grit stuck in the fingertip of my bike glove.
the nuvi isnt waterproof is it?

Zumo vs 60Csx? I had the same dilemma.Maybe I'm a bit shizophrenic so I've decided:Zumo & 60Csx.IMHO Zumo is Road King but for offroad 60 rules (for motorbike and/or old eyes 276c !)
Cheers
