NO ALTITUDE LIMIT.GREAT FOR HIGH ALTITUDE BALLOONS
Just an update concerning the other review that talked about the 60kft altitude limit: That was a bug that was fixed several months ago. As long as you have firmware version 2.80 or later the altitude performance of the 18x is the same as the prior non-X versions of the GPS 18. This was corrected many months ago so all units now shipping and those shipped in the last several months do not have the 60kft altitude limit. If you have an older visit Garmin's web site to upgrade the firmware.
Pros: fast acquisition.

ALTITUDE LIMITATION COMPARED TO OTHER 18 MODELS
These work great, but be aware they have a 60K altitude restriction, where as the other 18 models without the x designation can go higher for High Altitude balloons projects.
