 needs more detail August 20, 2006

You will need to buy Map-source maps ($100+) to make this thing worth the purchase. I needed GPS for boating but the base maps are rudimentary, ie; no inlets, rivers, shoreline detail or lakes. It is although very accurate and easy to use, nice big screen and good reception. If you need GPS now this unit is an excellent value. I payed $199 a month ago and now its $169 but that's my problem.

Having owned over 6 Garmin GPS products, and now having the 76 that provides accuracy beyond belief, makes this product a real winner. Read all of the options, the WAAS is clearly next generation. I have used it on land and sea, in both cases there was no comparison to previous models. It is all here, you need look no longer.
Garmin GPSMap 76 A Great Hand-Held Device April 3, 2005

This is a great gps, especially for marine purposes. I searched around and researched before deciding on purchasing the gpsmap 76. I find the preloaded base maps to be very sufficient and fairly detailed. It's waterproof and submersible, what else could you ask for. The only downfall is that it's not colorized, but big deal. It's quite easy to see when you're standing in direct sunlight. This is one of the best gps devices out there for this price range. It's well worth every penny, and comes highly recommended.

With the rest of the GPS devices shifting to color, the large b&w screen on this unit means money well spent. It's fast enough for practically any use. I've been using it in South East La. post-Katrina, Where those piney back woods were often blocked by debris. In New Orleans I used it to avoid blocked roads and to mark entry points into closed areas. I live hear, and the suroundings were so disturbed and displaced that even my own home-town was very disorienting. The backtrack and routemaking features are lifesavers. The screen is easy to read. The low draining B&W screen also allows longer battery life compared with other color units I've used. Looking for a dashboard mount and auto power adapter right now. A photojournalist, I keep it in my camera bag.

I upgraded to this device from a Magellan 310.This device is far superior in its accuracy, its reception and its features. The screen is fantastic, the graphics are crisp and sharp. I have been using the device for GeoCaching, see geocaching.com. It is great for this purpose. I have played with Garmin's maps that are downloadable into the unit. This feature is great, although the cost of these maps is prohibitive. My friend has a Magellan 330 which he is quite happy with. We have used the GPSMAP 76 and the Magellan 330 together. Both of us are happy with the choices we made. I would say that the GPSMAP 76 has a far superior screen, graphics and interface and concede that the Magellan 330 may be a hair more accurate (at least when we used them together). If I could choose again I would still buy the GPSMAP 76.
