Garmin GPSMAP 76. easy as pie to use......

Any Garmin handheld, very easy to use & accurate too. Some of the etrex"s are being phased out but they are great units also, prices start @$100. or $79 on sale. Garmin Map 76 units cost more but U get more things llike electronic compass etc. I have a map76 Csx & its great,keeps my Humminbird Si from always getting lost.

Yes Grizzley got a GREAT line-up, looks like U gonna have to ask the HB dude for me, Was really wanting to go to meet You, Frank & many others from here, sure would be nice, but its bout 450 mile drive and I got couple family things goin on here just don't look like its gonna happen sorry.:(

ok theres a gps 76, gpsmap 76,gpsmap 76s,gpsmap 76cx,gpsmap 76csx which one of theses and why ,confused

All gps mentioned here are good. I prefer the Delorme PN 40 and the Topo 7.0 map software that goes with it. Very good detail and you can download unlimited quad maps and aerial photos onto the handheld gps for $30.00 a year.
The thing a lot of folks forget is that as they get into this technology they really do want some of those bells and whistles and are stuck with a low end unit they cannot sell for what they have in it. Just a thought.
