Hello. Recently, my 76cs (loaded with city navigator) has started to do weird things. The biggest thing is that when it recalculates a route (I intentionally...
Sounds like you have (accidentally) turned on the "avoid highways" setting. Check both Mapsource's and the GPS's Routing Setup (p 62 of the manual). ...
I would agree with the other reply - that you accidently reset some setting, potentially obscure. I do not think dropping the unit would cause it to...
Thanks for the replies. I have already checked all settings multiple times, and all settings are as they should be, at least to the best of my understanding....

I bought a USB cable at a computer store to use with the 76cs at my office, then realized that it doesn't have the "lump" that the Garmin cable has near the...
Hi Roy, The 'lump' is a long and thin copper wire winded (spooled) around the cable, with a plastic case to keep it tidy. This is to reduce interference from...
... it is not realy needed due to lack of interference. I was more concerned that it might be there to protect the receiver from getting "zapped" by some stray...
Hi Roy, A shielded cable will be just fine. Most of the USB cables sold are of this type (without the thingy around one end). The copper shield will not...
