Editorial Reviews:

All other marine handheld GPS units will pale when compared to the GPSMAP 76CS - literally.The latest color-display technology gives both units the brightest, sunlight-readable displays available. And with brand-new state-of-the-art receivers and powerful microprocessors, these units will give you a quick and steady fix. In addition, the GPSmap-76CS boasts a built-in electronic compass and barometric altimeter.The GPSMAP 76CS has the familiar GPS 76-family keypads and styling, with 115 MB of memory, an Americas Autoroute basemap, and a Marine Point database. Fast USB connectivity makes loading charts and maps quick and easy, while navigation instructions can be shared with repeaters, plotters, and autopilots using NMEA protocols through the dedicated serial port.It's waterproof and fully compatible with MapSource products like BlueChart, U.S. Topo 24K, and City Select (which provides detailed streets for turn-by-turn guidance).

Summary: GPS hand held
Comment: Easy to use, after reading the instructions! Enjoy using this for maps

Summary: You won't leave home without it
Comment: I originally purchased the GPS to use with my jet ski with the option to use it for navigtion around town as a secondary function. Seadoo designed special glove boxes to flush mount one of these units due to their superior waterproof ability to handle the wet environment experienced in skiing. However the City Navigator software coupled with the portable GPSMAP series provides an even more incredible combo worth far more then the dedicated units in my opinion. Overall it is very easy to transfer tracks from the unit to record fishing drifts and plot waypoints and routes on your computer for download into the GPS handheld. Instead of printing google maps, I use the mapping software to create waypoints and routes to all my destinations.

Summary: Bill
Comment: The unit itself is a little bulky but the larger issue is the maps. The unlocking process is just brutal. Its not worth the aggravation. Stay away. And just so you know, I'm an IT professional and this is the most difficult product I think I ever worked with.

Summary: Extremely satisfied
Comment: As a game warden in Florida there is a need for a GPS. We locate illegal hunting site quite often. When the time comes to catch the poacher we usually can't approach the site the way the poachers do. We have to come through different and unfamiliar ways. Sometimes through thick woods, swamps or other obstacle covered ways. This GPS with the contour maps and blue water disk is extremely helpful.. I would recommened this item to all.

Summary: Perfect, Versatile GPS Unit
Comment: This is my second Garmin unit. My first was the eMap. I loved that one so I only researched other garmin units. This one had everything I wanted. I use it on the road, hiking the AT and marine navigation. To get more than simple use you have to purchased additional software. City Select for detailed local street level, Blue Charts for bathometric charts and topo for hiking. Battery life is excellent! The unit is larger than my eMap, but very light and water proof.
The only con to this unit is the lack of expandable memory. My eMap could accept cards with additional maps. That really hasn't effected my use. I'm a big Garmin fan from software to the handheld units.
