Crawdaddy 96 Posted September 3, 2009 are these any good? Yes, they don't don't have the compass or altimeter features of the CSx version but most folks would likely never use those features anyway (I never do)......what they do have is 1) color screen and 2) replaceable micro card......and THAT's what's important........ In your particular "Sea going" case, you may want a unit that also floats and has a compass......in which case the 76Csx would be the unit to buy.......I searched for a 76 on Costco's website.....no dice....if I were starting from scratch and wasn't concerned about cash outlay, I'd probably go with a 76Csx......most are concerned about cash outlay and this unit will do the job easily......even a 60c will do the job but it has no replaceable micro card (which isn't a big deal for local riding where you don't need to store a lot of maps or capture days and days of active tracks) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sjtraina 0 Posted November 28, 2009 so if you hardwire a gps, are you able to "unplug" it when you get to lets say..Mikes Sky Rancho at night, and take it into your room(so it doesn't get stolen). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
paulmbowers 236 Posted November 28, 2009 so if you hardwire a gps, are you able to "unplug" it when you get to lets say..Mikes Sky Rancho at night, and take it into your room(so it doesn't get stolen). Yes. It's a plug-in cable easily removed. If it's a Zumo, it uses a cradle mount with a flip lever. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
