GPS

[isha]

I'm looking to replace my ancient Garmin 50 and confused by the choice available
Can any one advise. I have kind of narrowed it down to a Garmin 72 or a Garmin 76, the 76 being a bit more expensive but your advice might suggest something else. I've not had the chance to compare them in a shop.
Thanks
Dave

76...

The 76 has a much higher resolution, with over twice as many pixels, so it's probably worth choosing that over a 72. Otherwise, they're pretty much the same. Garmin products are good and have good aftersales support.

I've got a 76 and it is easy to use and has an excellent screen. Garmin also provide super after sales service.

The Garmin 76 is your best bet, and you can get cables to trun off a cigarette lighter socket, also a remote antenna if you leave it down below. Go to the Garmin website and you can do a comparison of the models you are interested in - http://www.gpsw.co.uk do very good prices - Im also in the market for a new GPS but am waiting for the insurance money after a recent burglary!
