Lawrence "gplawrence" (San Francisco, CA USA) - my reviews Garmin GPSMAP 76 Waterproof Handheld GPS (Electronics) So I finally have around for you to upgrading my trusty 3 year old Garmin 12XL for you to a new GPSMAP 76. I played by one by these Magellan 330s from these local store by regard for you to comparison yet found that once again I simply prefer these Garmin people interfaces.

My understanding be able to certainly be WAAS be able to certainly be so limited from these time, DOD may shoot some much more birds up found these future, yet don't count in relation to these by regard for you to now. I customer these found FLA, GA, Wash state, Lower Alberta in for you to BC provinces in for you to was satisfied overall w/ basemaps in for you to reception yet never have WAAS. P.S. I would not trust basemap for you to navigate from (e.g. boat found fog). Resolution not enuf; happily these erred found my favor, said I |
