I still use my GPSMAP76, and have had it for going on 12 years. Only downfall is there is no support left for it, and you cannot get updated maps for it anymore. Still works though, and I will continue to use it until it dies completely.

If you want a hand held and can swing a bit more $$ the Garmin 78sc is a sweet unit.

I have a garmin 76 also I still don't kno w how to use all the functions but all I need is get me to a spot and in case a fog rolls in Get me back to dock I would stay with garmin but I'm sure the others are just as good maybe 15 years ago it mattered but today I'm pretty sure they are all good, if I was you just look for the one that's easy to operate That's what I plan on doing, talk with a sales person and let them demostrate

There is one thing about the garmin I don't like and I don't know why they do that, I would like to tell them, do you know what it is? I am going to tell you why do they have the screen on the bottom and the keypad on top? Bad design in my eyes
