Excellent product delivered quickly... the price was very good too!! Very satisfied customer.. maybe a compatable case with a plastic see-thru panel would be the only improvement I could think of making..Digital camera Review: GPS Accuracy
Summary: 1 Stars
I own several Garmin GPS units and am very happy with all of them. The only unit not worth the Garmin brand is the GPS 76CSX. Since I have several units, I can compare accuracies. The 6CSX is normally off by 10 to 20%. Garmin has replaced the unit three times and finally they told me that this unit is so sensitive it can be off a "bit". A "bit" in my book is not 10%, much less 20%. I bought the 76CSX to replace a Forerunner 305 and have since gone back to the 305.
I would not recommend. Those that say it is very accurate have nothing to compare it to. I have compared to a Nuvi 660, and Edge 705, and a Forerunner 305 with the results being not very good for the 76CSX. For example, a 24 mile ride on my bike had the following: Edge 705 - 24..1, Forerunner 305 - 24.2, and the CSX - 29.6 miles. I walked 3 miles at a high school track and the 76CSX recorded 4.3 miles.
Digital camera Review: GPS MAP 76 CSX

I have had several handhelp Garmin 70 series GPS units. This unit is definetly the best I have had. Super speed, strong reception and a crystal clear HD screen. The standard world wide base map lacks detail nrrded for Marine Navigation, so be prepared to buy the chips for your regions. The full US/Canada/Bahamas micro SD is a great bargain. The chips really bring the unit to life.Digital camera Review: GPSMAP 76CSx

The GPS arrived in a few days and works great. The rocker switch on the unit sucks. It makes entering information difficult. The GPS is very sensitive and works inside my motorhome away from any windows. My old unit was an E-Map and it had to be beside a window to work. This unit also works well in deep woods. The unit is advertised as being a mapping unit. This is true if you purchase the City Navigator software for $115. The mapping does not work with the 2008 Topo software. I installed a 2 GB chip to hold the topo map. It turned out that the unit would only hold less than half of the topo map and only used 700 MB of the 2 GB available. It also took over 2 hours to download the topo data.
