Customer Reviews:
- A great thing to have: The Garmin 76 CSx GPS this as good as it gets for now. It has every thing an outdoors person needs they even put a jump master on this thing. I love it
- As good as it gets: After many months of study, I decided on the 76CSx. I cannot find a problem with is after one month of 3 day weekends geocaching. I can put more waypoints in it than the streetpilot in the car. After finding a cache I can press found and it goes to the calendar so I can find them easily when I get home to do logs. I am using 2500mAH energizer batteries in it and because I discharge them completely before recharging, they last 24 hours with out the backlight. I bought the car cigarette lighter adapter for it but only use it on long trips. It has a better routing engine than the streetpilot 2620 consistently going the way I would go. I cant think of any problem with it as yet. You get used to the buttons at the top which I have no problem with. I think this is as good as it gets
- very good : Este aparato es demasiado bueno, medí un terreno y me salió muy aproximado a las medidas de topografias realizadas por un topografo, cuando utilizo la antena externa me da una precisión de +o- 2 mts, el altimetro muy bueno me da casi a la perfección, este gps lo comparé con los unidades trimble y me da la aproximación de 2 mts, con la diferencia que el 76csx cuesta US$ 350, mientras que el trimble cuesta mas o menos US$ 75.000,oo, seria muy bueno, que sacaran un modelo de este tipo con salida externa de video para poderlo conectar a una pantalla de dvd y utilizarlo en carretera como un navegador..
- GPSManp 76CSx in use: I use to have older verion of GPSMap 76S too. I have been happy with that device too. I use my device both in sea and in forest. Issue with old version in forest was short-time of using device with battery power. You cannot have satelite receiving on all the time while batteries are finished in few hours. But with 76CSx this all changed. I was up in mountains hunting 5 days and I had satelite receiving on at least 25 hours without any problems(lithium batteries)! That's wonderful.
- My second Garmin: This is my second Garmin GPS and I absolutely love it. My first was the GP 72 and while I loved its features it was limited by its memory as I store a cubic ton of waypoints.
The 76 CSx meanwhile has plenty of memory and the compass and barometer are spot on.
I use mine for hiking, biking and boating and let me tell you it is rugged, dropped quite a few times, and even can survive falling into the water.
Overall, I recommend the 76 CSx for anyone who wants an affordable, full capability GPS unit.
