My 60 Cx is still going ... not buy another until this one gives up.
Trying to rig up a solar charger for it - charges the AA batteries 
within the unit and provides power to the unit.
This way I don't have to carry around a AA battery charger nor extra 
batteries.
May not fully charge the batteries but good enough for me - a simple 
system.

I'd no be worried by 10 m ... the differences are ~100 metres in places.
Might be more in some places too .. have not been measuring .. just 
concerned at the differences.
It could be as simple as running off a map and going a bit off the 
official course as 'it looks better'.
