Durable and long lasting, has been used heavily for the last 2 years and still reliable

Has lasted the years and taking it out on the water

More expensive but worth it

Very durable; menu is very easy to use and has an excellent range of features; had no problems with the screen visibility; reasonable coverage under tree canopies although an external antennae improves its immensely; good battery life; light weight...

Screen could be larger... the colour version would have been a good option but not essential

GPSMAP 76 a Great Invention, Just Not For Me!

I received the Garmin GPSMAP 76 Versatile navigator for Christmas, what a surprise, since I am technological dummy.

Waterproof, can hold 8 mg memory. 500 waypoints and 50 routes

Not for the Technically disadvantaged, that would be me

Couple of dumb splash screens every time you turn it on
