I bought the GPSMAP 60Cx before duck season, mainly because it has a High-sensitivity GPS receiver. It will pick up satellites better on cloudy days, and under dense tree cover, like in a thick cypress brake... It is also waterproof, but does not float. My only fripe with the 76 was that it did not feel right in my hans, and I am mainly using it to not get lost int he hunting woods. But it does serve duel purposes, like fishing.

Worth the extra $$ if you ask me.
