Iv decided to buy a handheld gps that I can use on the V and the wife can use in her truck. I think I brought up this topic before. I'm looking at a Garmin Map76cx. I've found one on ebay for around 200.00, new! My V already has the mount for one on the dash. What do you fellas have and whats your opinion on the Garmin units?

I have a lowrance, I'm not a fan of Garmin, seems way to hard to operate, I was able to operate the Lowrance right out of the box without reading the instructions (upholding a man's ego with instructions).

The Garmin may just be I don't mess with them because of how hard it was to operate and I don't like paying big bucks for the area I want to fish in (bluewater chips).

I have the Garmin 76 hand held GPS and I love it. I can use it on my boats, atv, and vehicles. I do have a Garmin GPS Map 220 in the V, but my personal preference is the 76 because I find it easier to operate, albeit not so detailed like the Garmin 220. I also bought my Garmin 76 on Ebay for $200 and it came with everything included,ram mount,case, & 12 volt power cord. Nice unit IMO
