You can accomplish what you describe using free software and your 60CSx. I do this type of thing all the time but have at my disposal AutoCAD and Arc9. I work in the GIS field and survey as well.
If so, you can also enter your survey distance and direction directly into the GPS from your corner pin, so you may not even need mapping software.
I don't have 60 CSx, but it is a better GPS than I have so I would assume that your GPS is also capable of waypoint projection. I'm sure that there are quite a few types of mapping software that are suitable, but my preference for this type of stuff is OziExplorer. You say "somewhat" find the general lines.If I am understanding you correctly, then yes, your 60 CSx is quite capable of doing what you ask in this situation. Oh, and he wants to be able to lay the survey on at least a topo and possibly and aerial. What software will let me do this? My friend said to try and get a program that would "rotate" automatically for the magnetic declination? I have a Mac for personal use and Windows at work.
Then go back onto the property and using my 60CSx be able to "somewhat" find the general lines of the property. My boss (the one whom writes my checks) wants me to be able to go onto a piece of property, find a corner pin, establish it as a wapoint on my Garmin 60CSx, download it into some type of mapping software, enter in survey distance and direction info off a survey (or deed) established from this waypoint I just imported from the 60CSx, then transfer all these waypoints that the software in my laptop has calculated back into my Garmin.
