I am a new 60csx owner as well, woodstramp. I use it every day (to learn it and, admittedly, to just play.) I love it and it does everything I could ever ask it to.
Regarding your listing of waypoints, when in that screen if you hit menu, you get an option to Find by Nearest. This will show those points relative to the cursor. Also, if you see that "keyboard" screen, you can hit quit and it will go away, but leave the waypoints in alphabetical order. Depending on how many points you have saved, it can be either a long list or a short list. I use this when I'm sitting in Lower Michigan and want to see my deer blind waypoints in the Upper Peninsula....because I'm bored (I guess.)
Anyhoo, I love my 60 and hope you have many hours, days, months, and years with it. These folks are great and will help you with just about anything you can come up with. Believe me, I've tested them.
Mike
