I am about to buy a new GPS.

I will use it for geocaching, hiking, stamping digital photography, and
possibly some driving.

I don't really need to map my driving patterns because I have lived in this
area forever.

I am considering GPSMap 76CS, iQue M5, and the GPSMap 60CS.

Aside from the photography, I may be collecting tracks for postprocessing on
my laptop.

Could I have some opinions from users of these models to help narrow my
choice?

I love my 60CS. The iQue will be more fragile and have a shorter
battery life.

Never had a 60CS but I love the 76CS. On road, off-road, and marine.

Never read the fine print. There ain't no way you're going to like it.

All 3 will fulfill what you may want. The M5 is not as robust as the
others but has additional features. In case you need these, go for it.
If not, 76 and 60 have a different housing. Go to a shop and try to
use them. I own the 76S and find it perfect for one hand use. Others
have different opinions.
