Perhaps, my review about GARMIN 76Cx will be no competent and even would laugh someone, but I try ... I bought this product consciously, knowing the technical characteristics and scope. I know that there is a more advanced model CSx, but the additional features that it has not improved the basic functionality of the device, while only increasing the cost burden (barometric altimeter is not very necessary for the water surface and I prefer the magnetic compass compared to electric). There is the parallel model range, is GARMIN 60 Cx/CSx, but it has a drawback by using on water, 60 th do not float - they sink down water. I have already tested my device at the fishing on a motor boat and one-week adventure tour about the uninhabited area of my country (northern Karelia, near Finland). And now that I liked other than good design: very fast and accurate determination of location; handy menus, ergonomic position of the control buttons (all steps by one finger), contrast screen, clearly shows the line on the map, and possibility to change the batteries, given me chance to walk away from an electrical outlet. As with any thing, 76Cx has flaws, it is the non large screen (by the zoom, the map's details out of screen border); the cursor button a little tight and somewhat large dimensions (in the women's arm, it will look as huge) In general, I am pleased with the device.Read full review
Had a old Garmin 12 Version 1.0 - loved the simple way it operated but it was having trouble picking up signals and no longer dependable. I like this unit as it only take two batteries, has clear colors, zoom in and out easily, quickly can name waypoints and the PC connectivity. I do not like the map that came with it and use this item in the Louisiana Basin - I downloaded a free topo but it is still not of very good quality - I do not like the many screen functions as I basically use track (on and off) and waypoints to locate hunting stands and underwater nets. This unit acquires the signal quickly and preforms well.
This unit locks in good with little wait,has many features .easy to use for most things,but the screen is very small and is hard to use in a moving boat or car.seems ok for hiking or use on foot.the reason i bought it i have a blue chart i can use in it.the display should have a higher pixel count ,when zooming in it gets blockey [you can see the blocks well]but you get alot for the$ compared to other unit with these features.
The GPS is exactly what I expected. Feed the device with Garmin Bluechart (or any other nautic charts I believe) and It can guide you through a heavy haze or unknown region. Detailed info from the charts combined with the excelent GPS precision make it so easy... The only CON I found is that the GPS is an eager battery eater, remember to carry some extra pairs of alkaline AA batteries when using and happy boating. :)
This is a great unit for off road motorcycles, easy to use buttons with gloved hand and fairly large color screen, the battery connectors on this model fall apart so be wary of poor connections.
