I have had the succession of GPS III/III+/V and SP/SPCM/SPIII/2610 as my portable and vehicle units. I also have permanent mount amplified antennas in the...
Peter, I suspect you'll need new antenna's for the 60/76 series as they're 3V units. If your current antenna's are 5v only they probably won't work. FYI I have...
... Wow! I am still on my first original II+ v2.07. I use it mostly for collecting tracks during hikes/mountain climbs and navigation to scuba dive sites. I...
... I use Gilsson external antenna's with my 76S and they work fine. I think they have the same 2.5-12V spec (see the Links section). ... Yes it does. ... The...
... power ... Glad to hear it! Do you use NiMH batteries in the 76S? I don't doubt it would work on 3V alkalines, just the 2.4V NiMH is pushing it a bit. ... ...
... I *only* use NiMH batteries in my 76S. ... You and a bunch of other people ;-) Its a common complaint. So far Garmin hasn't listened. ... Not offhand....
It seems to me I have read or heard that: - the base map of the 76cs is (will be) better; - the satellite reception of the 60cs is better. Any info about those...
... I believe it will be 16Mb vs 8Mb(?) for the 60C(S). I doubt this will make it much better. The base bap is very basic and unusable IMO. ... I don't see...

... We were speaking of the base map in ROM, not of the user available memory;-) The base map of the 60c is known to be so poor that the european users can...
... I'd expect the 76C(S) basemap to be poor as well. Buying a mapping GPS without the maps (if you don't already have them) seems silly to me. Yes its more...
... This can be understood too as 13 Mo of pre-loaded marine datas in the (writable) memory, something like there was in the Vista? -- Sylvain Bouju ...
... problem ... The Garmin 76C(S) web page says "with brand-new state-of-the-art receivers". I would interpret that to mean that they are using the new...
I concur. How can we even make claims on the performance of a model that has not yet shipped? I would expect the 76C to capitalize on GPSR chipset improvements...
I had previously had sent Garmin Sales Support a question asking about any differences between the 76CS and 60CS for satellite reception and antenna...
The 76CS I have preordered will be my first GPS, so please pardon the elementary nature of this query. I see the unit comes with a "PC/USB cable," which makes...
... The GPS has two interfaces: USB and serial (RS-232). I thought the 76CS came with both cables but I guess not. The serial interface, like the USB, can be...
Does anyone have any idea when to expect this? I preordered this and was told that Garmin was expecting it "any day". I'm considering cancelling my order and...
I received an email today to say that the GPSmap 76C is available in limited quantities from this online store. http://gpsnow.com/gmmap76C.htm (A Garmin GPS...
I have one that is confirmed as shipped from www.lakepowelldiscountmarineelectronics.com on 5-12-04. It was a pre-order, that was offered by them to get an...
For those wondering how many maps they can fit in their 76C and 76CS units the link in this sci.geo.satellite-nav usenet group post might be of interest. I've...
I received an email Friday, 14 May from Darrel Goheen at tvnav.com in Hays, Kansas stating that he expected enough of the 76CS's Monday, 17 May to partially...
