• gps replacement
  • Buy the 76 csx soon as it is obsolete
    • I think I'll buy a GPSMap 78sc
      • but where?
        • Defender
          • lol. Defender doesn't even sell the GPSMap 78sc
            • Yabbut I'm always happy there and they are reliable!
      • Jerry that is not a chart-plotter
        • 478 is discontinued and 620 doesn't come pre-loaded with charts
          • Didn't realize the 620 doesn't come preloaded with charts -- the 640 does
            • it pains me to have to say this
  • Go with a larger display if your budget allows
    • We love our 478
      • Discontinued?
        • No doubt.
          • Looks like the GPSMAP 620 is the closest thing to a replacement
            • GPSMAP 620 review, and touch screen
              • Well, yes, and yes, you would've thought so,
              • I have a Garmin 5212
          • 478 sold for $660
            • Garmin new products for 2011
              • but the newer version?
  • hey rick!! the screen on the 76cx is miniscule - too small for our old eyes.
    • gps and no
      • can't be cheaper than me rick. i still use my old garmin gps12 and paper charts.
        • gps
        • You guys with the new equipment always amaze me...
          • Hey, stuff dies. I had the same old Garmin 48
            • You simply reinforced my point...
              • The world is still round, and granite doesn't move very much up there "Down East" :^)
              • My point is I wouldn't have new stuff if the old stuff didn't die.
