Battery life is a major plus, as my old one (different mfr) just ate batteries. I especially like the renaming of waypoints, making it simple to find the fishing spot you want. Installed my Garmin GPS 76 on the console of my Whaler, and it works great. Easily programmed and logical ease of use.
Use it on my boat to find fishing holes and waypoints. Best price I could find, right here, at Amazon. Item works great, pretty simple, once you get the hang of it.
And their tech support is hard to reach. It looks good and it is said that it does wonders, but I can't calibrate it. I have tried many times but it fails on me.
If you are in an area that can get WAAS reception, the accuracy is even better. I have also tested it with a friend's PDA using Anywhere Map (a moving map/EFIS type program for flying) and it worked great. If you are looking for a great GPS that can be used stand-alone or attached to a PDA, this is it. The GPS 76 is the perfect portable GPS unit for connecting to a PocketPC based PDA or a laptop. I have tested it on an iPAQ 3835 with Pocket Streets 2002 and it works like a champ.
