 Garmin GPSMap 76Csx Mapping Handheld GPS January 1, 2008
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
This unit does everything Garmin says it will do and does it flawlessly. Battery draw down time is very exceptable even in cold weather. We have gotten it soaked with snow and ice. The first day we had it I hid twelve gifts in deep woods in a twenty acre area. I set waypoints for each gift and erased my tracks. Even in fast falling, blowing, and drifting snow my kids where able to navigate to all twelve gifts within an hour. What a blast. I strongly recommend adding Garmins Mapsource City Navigator for on road adventures. The unit gives extremely accurate on road directions (in print-no voice)and seems very up to date at least for our area in Wisconsin. I also purchased the optional external antenne for my vehicle, which is perfect. The unit even receives well next to a window without the external antenne, at least in fairly open areas. Even in severe weather and cloud cover it seems accurate within about twelve feet. I really can't say enough good about this GPS. It is slightly more expensive than some of the lesser units, but WELL WORTH the cost.

This is a great GPS, just know that you will have to buy a full map if you want detailed GPS data. It has many helpful and fun functions that will keep you entertained and heading in the right direction. Also it gets amazing reception, I've never had to use the external antenna I bought even in remote parts of my trips. I am very please with my purchase, indeed.
 Garmin 76Csx-" PAY at every turn" December 10, 2007

The 76CSX Mapping handheld is an example that sometimes small things come in big packages. For $299, you get very little, in the way of real functionality. You get only the most BASIC maps with the unit, so it is not worth much as a GPS-especially for the car- a TOMTOM one has better features for ($149.) It is usable as a car gps, but you need to buy a additional Microsd card(2 Gb- 1Gb for US maps). The included 128 Mb MicroSd is worthless, in reality. Now you must buy the map release( I had to buy the North America NT) Then the 2008 NT Update, then the unlock code. So $299 for the unit, (and then another $300 to get it to have the same functionality as the TOMTOM one for $149). The unit's manuals are VERY poor for teaching you the intended purpose- vague one- liners for definitions of keys, etc... so trying to understand the purpose of the keys is not intuitive. So overall, I would say tall on cost/promises, but low in actual value. Tech support is poor, also. I emailed tech support- got the reply 4 days later. Phone support was better, but the garmin rep gave me the wrong information, and as the result I bought software I do not need. The issue is, why should you need a different GPS in the car, and on the trail? Why can't Garmin design one unit that works well in BOTH worlds? To be able to pay Garmin for two sets of maps- Garmin- "Pay at every turn".
 76 CSX - MARINE, PERO NO MUCHO. December 6, 2007

I used the 76 CSX few times in my small boat in Brazil. The boat has a 90hp etech engine by BRP, a very quite engine. I was surprised by the fact that the unity has no volume control for its alarms. If your are navegating and getting close to a non visible object the alarm set for proximity will not be heard. It is very low volume.

In Love with my new GPS December 3, 2007
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I absolutely love my GPS. While it is not as user friendly as the touch screens that have come out more recently, it works great with a little research and pushing buttons. I've used this as both a handheld device while Geocaching with my family as well as for directions when driving. I think the driving force for one of these came after I got my husband lost in Hollywood at Midnight. Needless to say I got this for my birthday a few weeks later. And have loved it every since. My kids LOVE being able to track everything. One other thing I love, it tracks the speed-so if you have a teenager you can stick this in the car and then download where the car has been and how fast they have been driving. As a claims adjuster and a parent I recommend this. As I told my kids, you earn trust and by following rules you earn it so by leaving this turned on in the car (I usually put it under the seat when not in use so as to avoid potential idiots breaking into the car to steal it) it tracks everything and everywhere you've been.
