Thread: Garmin handheld with electronic compass?

[QUOTE=crappie cowboy;578617]:o

Hey Yall, I made a mistake the Garmin I bought at Cabela's bargin barn is the
Garmin 72, Not the 76. Sorry I was drinking strong tea last night..My bad.
But anyway it does have a compass, it might not be the compass that your talking about?.

I think you may be looking at the pointer page with it's compass, the CSx has an electronic compass. I have a GPS 72, still a good unit to find your waypoints, and a GPSMAP 76CX and carry both in my boat. I keep the 72 on the pointer page and the 76CX on the map page to go to my waypts. Nothing wrong with the 72 just a little out-dated. Be sure to go to the Garmin web-site and download the last update to the 72 so you can use your unit in WAAS. I too use a bouy to stay on my waypts, just so much easier than keeping a eye on the gps as well as your depth finder.
